Ron grew up in Medina, Ohio and started in broadcasting at the age of 14, following in his older brother's footsteps at WHLO in Akron. Former Youngstown talk-show host Nick Anthony schooled Verb in the "art" of talk radio at WHLO. Ron left the Akron station more than a decade later to go to WHBC radio in Canton. After several years in Canton, then WKBN program director Pete Gabriel called to offer a spot on WKBN radio, which had just hired Youngstown talk show icon Dan Ryan. Ryan worked mornings 8:30 till noon and Verb worked nights from 7-11. As the talk format expanded the Verb show moved to 3-7 pm. Ron Verb  has been hosting a show on WKBN for 28 years, making it the longest running show on the station.
