Brian Wilson Officially Named Morning Host At WWTN (SuperTalk 99.7 WTN)/Nashville

Wilson

ALL ACCESS told you first (NET NEWS 1/29) that former CUMULUS News-Talk WMAL-A-F/WASHINGTON host and FOX NEWS CHANNEL Sr. Correspondent/Anchor BRIAN WILSON had been tapped to fill in for mornings at CUMULUS News-Talk WWTN (SUPERTALK 99.7 WTN)/NASHVILLE after RALPH BRISTOL's firing, and the station has now made WILSON the official replacement for BRISTOL.

WTN PD DAN MANDIS said, "BRIAN has spent decades telling stories, whether covering the WHITE HOUSE in WASHINGTON, D.C. or local stories from AMERICA's heartland, and he's seen it all. As BRIAN has been covering NASHVILLE'S MORNING NEWS on WWTN, listeners have already been responding to his perspective and insights. I'm thrilled that he's committed to moving to NASHVILLE and hosting NASHVILLE'S MORNING NEWS full time. He's a great addition to an already outstanding radio station."
 
WILSON said, "Even though I was born in TEXAS and spent the bulk of my professional career in WASHINGTON, D.C., I always felt at home when I visited NASHVILLE. Beyond the great music scene, I've been impressed with the friendliness and common sense of the folks here. I'm thrilled to be out of the WASHINGTON swamp and to be establishing roots in MUSIC CITY. I'm also pleased to renew my association with CUMULUS. Thanks to my old CUMULUS boss in D.C., BILL HESS, and CUMULUS/WESTWOOD ONE EVP of Content & Programming MIKE MCVAY, for their instrumental role in making this happen. I look forward to working with my new NASHVILLE bosses, ALLISON WARREN, CHARLIE COOK, DAN MANDIS -- and WTN's top-flight morning team -- to make NASHVILLE'S MORNING NEWS the dominant show in its time slot. In NASHVILLE, they often say that the formula for a good Country song is, "three chords and the truth." I'll leave the guitar playing to the NASHVILLE CATS, but I'll do my very best to give MUSIC CITY the truth as best I can discern it."
 
VP/Market Manager ALLISON WARREN said, "Today's announcement helps solidify SUPERTALK 99.7 as NASHVILLE and MIDDLE TENNESSEE's premier live and local news talk station. NASHVILLE and MIDDLE TENNESSEE residents craving topical and relevant news, weather and traffic are about to be challenged, entertained and engaged like never before."
