WBAL Baltimore Names Bryan Nehman To AM Drive

Nehman

Bryan Nehman, co-host of the "Brian and Bryan Show" on Washington's WMAL 630 AM radio, has been hired by Baltimore's WBAL 1090 AM to replace Dave Durian during morning drive time, according to David Zurawik at the baltimoresun.com.

Nehman previously anchored morning news on the politically conservative talk and news station in the nation's capital from 2001 to 2011. He's been at the station 12 years.

He started as a street reporter, and "was put in the news anchor chair right after 9/11," Nehman said Thursday.

"Bryan is one of the brightest young men that I've met, and he is the guy who's going to lead WBAL into the next 20 years of broadcasting," Dave Hill, program director at the station said.

Durian

Nehman said the chance to anchor the morning news on a station known for its commitment to news and information was one of several factors involved in him leaving the larger market of Washington for the Baltimore job.

"Number one, it's a great station, and I love the fact that they're local, local, local," he said. "It's very hard to find that in radio these days. Almost everywhere you go, it's syndicated in radio. The company [Hearst] is fantastic from everything I heard. And then, there's the city. I'm a Maryland boy through and through."
