WBAL (NewsRadio 1090 and FM 101.5) Baltimore taps T.J. Smith as the newest addition to the lineup. He'll host weekdays from 10am-2pm. Smith is a familiar voice to the WBAL audience, serving as spokesperson for the Baltimore City Police Department from 2015 to 2018, where he appeared regularly on the C4 Show spotlighting unsolved cases. Smith 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," said Smith. "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."

"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," commented WBAL Director of Programming/News Director Jeff Wade. "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."
