Two months after debuting a comprehensive lineup revamp, Good Karma Brands News/Talk 620 WTMJ Milwaukee has announced that evening host Brian Noonan will move to the 1-3pm “Spanning The State” joining Kristen Brey.

Noonan has been with WTMJ since 2016 and has hosted “WTMJ At Night” since 2019. He has also spent nearly 15 years at 720 WGN Chicago from 2006-21 and has worked as a television and stage actor, stand-up comedian, and substitute teacher. He stated, “Without sounding too sappy, I could not be more excited to join Kristin Brey as we build “Spanning the State” to tell stories that are uniquely Wisconsin. I’m proud to play a small part in helping WTMJ evolve and continue to be ‘Wisconsin’s Radio Station’. I was also told there would be unlimited curds.”

WTMJ Assistant Program Director Michael Spaulding commented, “Brian is a trusted radio veteran with almost two decades of experience under his belt. His unique ability to blend news and entertainment brings both fun and a sense of reverence to the station. During his time at WTMJ, Brian has taken every challenge thrown at him and excelled. He steps in when needed, adds value to every show he fills in on, and lives the WTMJ and GKB brands. His addition to Spanning the State alongside Kristin Brey just made sense”

Brey added, “When we decided to launch ‘Spanning the State’ without a permanent co-host, I remember thinking that I would rather do the work of two people and hold out for the right person. A week after we premiered, Brian filled in as my co-host, and the chemistry was undeniable from the moment we turned our mics on. His experience, warmth, humor, and curiosity will take this show to the next level as we create something unique that appeals to people across Wisconsin.”
