New Morning Mall Shopper In DC

Cumulus News-Talk WMAL/Washington has named Vince Coglianese as the new co-host of the Mornings On The Mall morning show. Coglianese plugs in across the console from current co-host Mary Walter weekdays from 5-9am and replaces Brian Wilson, who left at the end of May. Coglianese is the former Editor-In-Chief of The Daily Caller, where he currently serves as Editorial Director. Before that Coglianese served as Web Editor for Carolina Coast OnLine, and hosted a talk show on WTKF & WJNC/Morehead City, NC.

Bill Hess, VP of News-Talk for Cumulus Media, and PD of WMAL, said, “Vince is the perfect WMAL personality — knowledgeable, plugged-in, entertaining and a strong storyteller. He and Mary had immediate chemistry and we’re excited to bring this fresh new sound to mornings on 105.9 FM and AM630 WMAL.”

Coglianese remarked, “I am beyond honored to be joining such a prestigious station and its powerful audience. As a journalist and longtime WMAL listener, I know first-hand how essential it is to start my day with Mornings On The Mall. It’s a legendary show with an important mission — to engage, amuse and inform Washington, DC. I’m pumped and grateful to sit behind the WMAL microphones alongside the fabulous Mary Walter.”
