Brian Wilson is exiting SuperTalk 99.7 WTN in Nashville following a round of cuts at the station. The longtime host spent eight years with the Cumulus Media news/talk outlet.
What We Know: Wilson retired from his afternoon show at the end of 2024 but continued working as a regular fill-in host. However, he has now been notified that his association with the station will end November 15th. His final appearance came Wednesday morning alongside Dan Mandis. Additionally, producer Bel Kaeh departed during the same round of cuts, sources close to the situation tell Barrett Media. Wilson spent eight years with SuperTalk 99.7 WTN across his time as a full-time host and fill-in personality.
What They Said: “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!” -Brian Wilson
What Remains Unclear: Cumulus Media hasn’t publicly detailed the circumstances surrounding Wilson’s departure or whether additional personnel changes will affect the Nashville station. Wilson also hasn’t announced his next professional move.
What It Means: Wilson’s exit marks the end of an eight-year relationship with one of Nashville’s established news/talk outlets. Although he stepped away from his regular afternoon responsibilities nearly two years ago, his continued fill-in appearances kept him connected to the station’s audience. Meanwhile, Kaeh’s departure represents another change behind the scenes at SuperTalk 99.7 WTN.
