If you have lived in the Rochester area anytime in the last 40 years, you know the name “Brother Wease”. He started his radio career with the classic rock radio station WCMF and reigned #1 in morning talk radio on the “Brother Wease Morning Circus” from 1984 until 2007, when the station was sold. After months of contemplation and negotiations, and waiting out a non-compete clause, Brother Wease (born Alan Levin) took over as morning show host on Radio 95.1 in Rochester, an iHeartMedia station. He was ringleader of the Brother Wease Show at WAIO at 95.1 until last Thursday, when he announced he was hosting his final radio show on air after 40 years in the business. The Rochester-based iHeartMedia station announced that they were rebranding to a rock music format, now known as ROCK 95.1, “Rochester’s Real Rock.”
