Scott DeLucia Retiring from WTAW, College Station; Frito Young Joins “Infomaniacs” Show

Morning drive host Scott DeLucia (pictured here) is retiring from his role as ringleader of Bryan Broadcasting news/talk WTAW, College Station’s “The Infomaniacs” program, effective June 5. Last week, DeLucia told listeners, “It’s been the tradition of the show generally that when one of us leaves to go do something different or not do anything at all we kind of announce it ahead of time. And so today it’s my turn.” He added, “I figure if I’ve done it for 59 years it’s probably enough. Everything’s fine, my health is fine, my wife’s health is fine, we’re just deciding that it’s time to go enjoy the rest of our life that won’t include getting up at 4:20 in the morning. So, we’re going to do that.” A succession plan is in place as DeLucia introduced Tucker “Frito” Young as the newest member of “The Infomaniacs” yesterday (5/27). Young says, “I was excited by the opportunity, mostly because growing up in College Station and Bryan and around the area, if you listen to radio, you would listen to you (Scott) and Jay and Tom and everybody else. So, this is kind of like being on the radio show of record for the Brazos Valley.”
