Brian Wilson exits as “Host At Large” at “SuperTalk 99.7” WWTN. Wilson joined WWTN in 2018 as morning host before moving to afternoons until retiring from his full-time role at the end of 2024. He previously had a long run in Washington DC that included six years in mornings at Cumulus’ 105.9 WMAL, two terms at Fox’s WTTG-TV Washington DC where he co-anchored their morning news, and as senior correspondent and anchor for Fox News Channel.

Wilson shared on Facebook, “I have been notified that effective 11/15 I will no longer be associated with SuperTalk 997 WTN. My last appearance was this morning with Dan Mandis. The parting was not acrimonious, but I am saddened nonetheless. I have truly enjoyed my time at WTN and thank Cumulus for allowing me to serve on this amazing radio platform. I also want to thank the many listeners who found some value in what I brought to the microphone. Many of you have become friends and please know I feel very honored to have connected with you. What’s next? Stay tuned. Free Agent, Baby!”
