Mary Walter is named co-host of WMAL/Washington, DC's morning program, "Mornings on the Mall," joining co-host Brian Wilson beginning March 1. Walter has been a frequent guest host on the station for the past several years and recently concluded an assignment as evening host at WHAS/Louisville. Previously, Walter was fill-in host for several programs on FOX News Radio, and has appeared as a pundit on television's FOX News Channel.

WMAL PD Bill Hess, who is also Cumulus VP/Newstalk, said, "Mary's experience, energy, and familiarity to our audience made her the perfect addition to our team."

Walter added, "I am really excited about joining 'Mornings on the Mall'. Bill Hess has built WMAL into a powerhouse and this is an opportunity I just couldn't pass up. I am honored to be working alongside Brian Wilson, and to be on the same station as Chris Plante and Larry O'Connor - it's an incredible line-up. My thanks to Bill, Mike McVay, and Jake McCann for their support."

Walter also handles occasional guest-hosting stints on SiriusXM's Patriot Channel. She has done two stints as host on WKXW-FM (New Jersey 101.5) in Trenton, NJ. As host of "Mary in the Morning" on WCTC-AM in New Brunswick, NJ, she was the first woman to anchor a morning radio show in the state.
