Sloan replaces McConnell at WLW

CINCINNATI - Scott Sloan has been named as the permanent replacement for Mike McConnelL during 700WLW's weekday show from 9 a.m. - noon.

“I couldn’t be more excited about my new daytime role at 700WLW,” said Sloan. “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.’”

“I just love being on the radio and knowing that I am one of the first voices to greet people each morning as Cincinnati gets up and gets the day started,” said Scott. “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.”
