Jay Taylor

Jay Taylor, the longtime program director of WBNS 97.1 The Fan has exited. Staff were informed of the news Friday morning. The company is said to be moving in a new direction.

Under Taylor’s watch, The Fan has featured a stellar weekday lineup, in addition to serving as the flagship station for Ohio State and the Columbus Blue Jackets. The combination has helped lead The Fan to consistent ratings success.

Taylor told Barrett Sports Media “I’m extremely grateful for having had the opportunity to program 97.1 The Fan. I’m proud of each and every person I worked with, and I wish the brand nothing but continued growth and success in the future.”

Taylor joined WBNS 2006 and oversaw the stations flip for HotAC to Sports in 2009.
