WBAL/Baltimore Adds Smith To Middays
• Hearst’s WBAL (NewsRadio 1090/101.5)/Baltimore announces T.J. Smith as the newest addition to the WBAL talk lineup, weekdays from 10am to 2pm.
Smith is already a familiar voice to the WBAL audience, having previously served as spokesperson for the Baltimore City Police Department from 2015 to 2018, appearing regularly on the C4 Show to spotlight unsolved cases. He later served as Press Secretary for Baltimore County Executive John Olszewski and ran for Mayor of Baltimore City in 2020.
“As a native Baltimorean who has gone to school, worked, run for office and even suffered loss in the city, I’m very familiar with the feel of the public from west Baltimore to the waterfront,” Smith said. “I couldn’t be more excited to join the WBAL Radio family. I look forward to delivering straight talk and sharing my opinion based on my experience working in government and in law enforcement. I’m ready to ‘tell it like it is’ in a reasonable manner.”
Jeff Wade, Director of Programming/News Director for WBAL NewsRadio 1090/101.5 commented, “The WBAL audience has known and respected T.J. for years for his frank and honest dialogue on the issues that matter most to people living and working in Baltimore. Whether it’s policing, politics, or talking Orioles and Ravens, we can’t think of anyone better suited to sit behind the WBAL microphone weekdays from 10am to 2pm.”
Smith joins WBAL’s live and local lineup that also includes C4 & Bryan Nehman in morning drive and Torrey Smith & Dan Joseph from 2-6pm.
