Nashville Welcomes [The Other] Brian Wilson

• Veteran DC broadcaster Brian Wilson is moving to Music City as the newly named host of Nashville’s Morning News on Cumulus News-Talk WWTN (SuperTalk 99.7 WTN)/Nashville. Wilson most recently co-hosted Mornings On The Mall on News-Talk sibling WMAL/Washington until May of 2017. Before that he was a senior correspondent and anchor for the Fox News Channel and a co-anchor of the FOX 5 Morning News on WTTG-TV/Washington.

Dan Mandis, PD of SuperTalk 99.7 said, “Brian has spent decades telling stories, whether covering the White House in Washington 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, “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.”
