Cumulus Media appoints Ernie Brown as on-air host of WBAP (News Talk 820)/Dallas Morning News. Brown takes the morning mic with co-host Hal Jay and can be heard Monday through Friday from 5-9am. Brown moves from his previous on-air slot on WBAP from 9-11am. Brown has been a popular voice on DFW stations, as well as in markets including Seattle, Houston, Austin, Cleveland and Las Vegas.

Brown began his career as a newscaster and anchor on a nightly news radio show which aired across Texas. He continued in news radio with KOMO in Seattle, where he anchored both the morning and afternoon shows, and was the host of America at Night, a syndicated late-night talk program.

WBAP Program Director Bruce Collins said, "Ernie is exactly what we were looking for. He's the ultimate professional broadcaster that knows how to relate to the audience and understands the biggest stories of the day that resonate with our target audience. We're excited to have him as our new morning show leader."

Brown commented, "We'll talk about the issues that matter to WBAP listeners: inflation, gas prices, grocery prices, supply chain shortages, your money, covid, and of course the Cowboys."

He added: "This is an incredible opportunity to get to work with Hal Jay and the talented WBAP morning team. I want to thank Cumulus DFW RVP/Market Manager Dan Bennett and PD Bruce Collins."
