Tom Erickson
Talk flows into the night with Tom Erickson, host of Northeast Ohio’s only local evening talk show.
Tom spent the first 30 years of his career reporting Akron and Northeast Ohio news. In that time he’s covered thousands of local stories. Tom knows the history of the community and all the major players, giving him a unique ability to talk about our town. So how did Tom morph from news reporter to talk show host?
One fateful day, Tom was on his news shift when he got the call to make an emergency substitution for one of our regular talk hosts. With no notice, no talk experience and no prep time he stepped into the batter’s box and hit a home run! As a talk show host Tom’s personality and diverse talents were revealed and the audience loved it. So, on September 4, 2001 WNIR launched the Tom Erickson Show and it has been at the top of the ratings ever since.
