Cumulus Media signs veteran broadcaster Brian Wilson as the host of Nashville's Morning News on News/Talk WWTN-FM (SuperTalk 99.7)/Nashville, airing weekdays from 5-9am. Wilson heads to Nashville from Washington, DC, where he was most recently co-host of the morning show on Cumulus' News/Talk WMAL-AM and FM. He previously served as a senior correspondent and anchor for the FOX News Channel.

WWTN-FM PD Dan Mandis said, "Brian has spent decades telling stories, whether covering the White House in Washington, DC, 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 added, "Even though I was born in Texas and spent the bulk of my professional career in Washington, DC, I always felt at home when I visited Nashville. Beyond the great music scene, I've been impressed with the friendliness and common sense of the folks here. 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."

VP/Market Manager Allison Warren said, "Today's announcement helps solidify SuperTalk 99.7 as Nashville and Middle Tennessee's premier live and local news talk station. Nashville and Middle Tennessee residents craving topical and relevant news, weather and traffic are about to be challenged, entertained and engaged like never before."

Prior to his time at FOX News, Wilson co-anchored the FOX 5 Morning News on WTTG in Washington, DC. He has twice served as chairman of the 2500 member Capitol Hill Radio TV Correspondents Association and graduated with distinction from American University with a Master's Degree in Print Journalism. A native of Odessa, TX, Wilson began his career in radio news and racked up a string of statewide awards when he was only 19. Wilson began his television career in Amarillo, TX, at the age of 21 and spent time as a reporter and anchor in Mobile, AL, before moving to Washington, DC, in 1986.
