For the past 31 years, Frank has been an integral part of the station’s success. For the last 27 years, Frank Luber and Sean Casey have been waking up listeners with the daily news and discussion of current events making the Sean & Frank,” Maryland’s Wake-Up Call”, the longest running news-talk morning show in Baltimore radio history.

The Fox News Rundown, featuring top newsmakers and Fox reporters and guests plus a daily commentary and significant issues of the day, will air from 5-6am.

The Morning Drive with Casey & Elliott premieres at 6am and continues through 9am. Current mid-day air personality Bruce Elliott will join Sean Casey as the co-host for real news and informed opinion. Chuck Whitaker and the Weather Channel offer Traffic & Weather on the 3’s. The show will also feature daily commentaries from nationally-syndicated radio hosts, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity as well as local and national newsmakers. 

Elliott comes to the show after hosting his own successful three hour daily talk show when he took over for Tom Marr after his untimely death. Bruce’s resume includes years of broadcast experience in radio and television.
