Wissel will contribute daily on-air content, including original comedy, storytelling and Pittsburgh-centric segments that reflect the voice, humor, and culture of the city, further fueling the show’s connection with listeners.
“Tad has been a natural fit with the show from the start, so this was a no-brainer. He’s such a gifted writer and performer and has been so prolific since he started joining us in the mornings,” said Randy Baumann. “The way he’s been able to seamlessly jump into the fray with myself, Mike and Abby with such ease has been so much fun to watch unfold. He understands Pittsburgh in a very specific and authentic way which has always been the foundation of the DVE Morning Show. The response from our listeners when Tad has been on the show has been overwhelming and I’m beyond excited to get to work with him every morning”
Wissel joins the Pittsburgh market after a decade at SLB Radio Productions, where he created and produced content. A lifelong resident of southwestern Pennsylvania, Wissel began his career as an intern on the DVE Morning Show. He also hosted multiple podcasts, including the frisbee-culture favorite “Sin the Fields,” and spent the last three years serving as a firefighter for the City of Pittsburgh. He is a graduate of Edinboro University.
"Growing up in and around Pittsburgh, I've been an avid WDVE listener for as long as I can remember,” said Wissel. “Being part of the DVE Morning Show is a dream come true. I'm beyond excited to join this incredible team and connect with listeners in the greatest city in the world!"
