"Bringing WAZZ back home to CLEVELAND is an important step for WGAR as we develop a fresh new morning show for CLEVELANDERS by CLEVELANDERS," said iHEARTMEDIA/NORTH OHIO Region Pres. KEITH HOTCHKISS. "We are thrilled to pair WAZZ with LEEANN SOMMERS, who is already a fan favorite on WGAR. WAZZ is not only an engaging on-air talent, but he also possesses incredible talents off-air and in the social space." Added WAZZ, "It's great to be home. It's crazy, my parents still live in the same house I grew up in, and to think I would have the opportunity to work at WGAR is incredible. I love CLEVELAND, I love CLEVELAND sports, and I love everything this city stands for. The goal of this amazing radio journey was to eventually get back home and do radio in my hometown. I could not be more excited."
