Where Is Brian Wilson Doing His WSPD Show From?

Shhh...don't tell anybody, but I heard Rush is in FLA, and Beck is in New York.
Seems funny when the blade runs "staff reports" they never place in the byline : Written by an intern at a paper in Topeka.
 
The fact he's still the PD for both WSPD/1370 and WCWA/1230 is far more concerning to me. Talk about phoning your job in.
 
Well, now we know. Brian's explained on the air that he had to leave Toledo for "health reasons." Specifically, the air quality in Toledo was literally making him sick, and doctors advised him to leave.

His wife, by the way, was also WSPD's news director until resigning in protest last May... over a dictate by CC that all WSPD newscasts outside of AMD had to be voice-tracked from WLW.

Giving him the benefit of some doubt, most likely allergies. I grew up in Cleveland, worked in Toledo for a number of years (at WSPD, by the way, well before the CC years), never had any problem.

Now live in southern Ohio, every spring (early March, actually) there is some kind of tree pollen that lays me low most years.

Most people acquire immunity to local pollens just be growing up there. Move somewhere else, and what is a minor annoyance for the locals can drive outsiders nuts.

Of course, there are those Toledo winters, with -20 windchills, and the wind whistling in all the way from the Rockies.
 
Constructing improvements on a swamp can cause all kinds of problems, so I can understand what the guy is saying. I have seen first hand what happens when a backfilled swamp begins to grow back under a development, and it isn't pretty. In the early-mid 90s a subdivision in Maryland that had been constructed over a backfilled marsh, grew back - Marsh grass and cattails right up through the basement floors, sidewalks. Nice, straight brick facades of houses stood erect while the rest of the houses sank away from the brick structures. Nature gives priority to itself and defeats even backfilling and compression with a 100 ton compressor.
