Sloan fills WLW slot.

Clear Channel news/talk “The Big One” WLW, Cincinnati (700) names station personality Scott Sloan as the permanent host of the late-morning (9am-12 noon) timeslot vacated by Mike McConnell, who jumped to Tribune’s WGN, Chicago last month.  WLW also announces morning host Jim Scott has signed a new contract with the station.

Scott says, “My goal in radio from the beginning of my career was to be at the biggest and best radio station I could work for.  There’s no station I consider to be a bigger brand today than ‘The Big One,’ 700WLW.”

Sloan has been with WLW for ten years, most recently as a late-night talk host.

He’s been in the market 42-years – starting in March 1968 at WSAI (1360).  “I couldn’t be more excited about my new daytime role at 700WLW,” Scott Sloan says. “My new show comes with an awesome responsibility and I am honored to be given the opportunity to grow the future of ‘The Big One’.”  In addition to his on-air contributions, Scott Sloan has one of the most widely read radio blogs on the Internet, continuously ranking in the top three across America on the Clear Channel Digital platform.
