WBAP has announced that Carla Marion will join the station’s morning show in 2024.
In a post to X, the station announced that Marion will join longtime hosts Ernie Brown and Hal Jay in January.
Marion has a history in the Dallas radio market. She worked at all-news KRLD as a morning news anchor before being part of widespread CBS Radio layoffs in 2008 while on maternity leave. She subsequently joined WBAP as a news anchor and reporter in 2009 before departing the station in 2013.
She joins the Cumulus radio station after serving as a Communications and Media Specialist for the McKinney, TX Police Department.
In a post to Facebook, Marion shared that she was “extremely honored to have been asked to once again be part of this legendary team of broadcasters. I will absolutely miss everyone at the incredible McKinney Police Department who have been so supportive of me over these last six years. Y’all took a risk on hiring a civilian and I hope I represented you well. It was an honor to work among so many real life heroes.”
WBAP’s Morning News is heard from 5-9 AM each weekday morning on the Cumulus-owned station.
