Looking for the up to date news for the moment, you can catch Brian Engle on WOBL/WDLW throughout the day. Brian is from Hudson, OH and was born in January. Along with being the news anchor, he holds the titles of Program Director and Human Resources. Prior to WOBL/WDLW Brian worked at WTAM station. The 29 years in commercial radio is credited by many hours of being grounded and playing radio during his youth. Two of Brian’s mentors are R.C Bauer (Clear Channel Radio) and Denny Sanders (WDLW).
The first concert that Brian went to, was Johnny Cash at Ponderosa Park. Along with Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, Dwight Yoakom, Dusty Springfield, and The Rolling Stones are Brian’s favorite artists. If Brian would ever get the chance to interview Keith Richards, he will be there ready to go with his notepad and pen.
