Bloomdaddy Departs WWVA Mornings For WTAM Afternoons

iHeartMedia News/Talk 1100 WTAM/106.9 W295DE Cleveland has found its replacement for the late Mike Trivisonno down the road in Wheeling WV.

David ‘Bloomdaddy’ Blomquist will take over the 3-7pm slot that Trivisonno held from 1996 until his death last October starting Monday, February 7. Blomquist has hosted mornings at Conservative Talk 1170 WWVA Wheeling WV since 2007 and has been syndicated to iHeart’s 910 WLTB Parkersburg WV, 640 WHLO Akron OH and 570 WKBN Youngstown and St. Barnabas Broadcasting’s 1320 WJAS Pittsburgh.

Blomquist began his career as a television sportscaster in Wheeling and Charleston WV and later anchored morning news at WTRF-TV before joining WWVA. He also hosted afternoons at Talk/Sports “The Watchdog” 1600 WKKX Wheeling.

iHeartMedia is seeking a new morning host for WWVA, WKBN and WLTB. WJAS will add America’s Morning News and First Light to succeed Blomquist.
