Brother Wease

Brother Wease is the on-air name of Alan Levin (born November 1, 1946 in Rochester, NY), a radio personality from Rochester, New York. He is currently heard on WAIO "Radio 95.1" in Brighton, as well as WHTK AM 1280 in Rochester and the Finger Lakes. (Both of these stations serve the metro Rochester area and are headquartered in the same building.)

Levin began his on-air career as a late evening host and soon moved to the morning show in 1985 on Rochester's WCMF (96.5), using the name "Brother Wease." His show, called "The Brother Wease Morning Circus," was among the highest rated shows in the Rochester market. He also hosted a Saturday music show entitled "Radio Free Wease." He was forced out of that show and the station in January 2008 when his contract ran out as the station was being sold from the CBS radio group to Entercom Communications. Levin and officials from station owner Entercom Communications tried but failed to negotiate a new contract. His co-hosts remained and took over the show, which was renamed "The Break Room."

Shortly after leaving WCMF, Levin accepted a job as a sales executive at Clear Channel Communications due to a "non-compete" clause in his previous contract. He then returned to the airwaves on November 17, 2008 on WFXF "95.1 THE FOX" with a new supporting cast, including female co-host Lilly Hisenaj (formerly on XM's Ron & Fez Show), Jamie Lissow, a local Rochester stand-up comic and executive morning show producer Anthony Caiazzo This new incarnation is called "The Wease Show."

From March through September 2004, Wease hosted both his WCMF music show and a similar program on WBUF, WCMF's Buffalo sister station in the CBS station group which was using a FM talk format. He was also heard weekends on New York City's WNEW-FM during its days as a hot-talk station in the middle of the last decade. He hosted a three-hour music show on XM Satellite Radio's Virus channel in December 2006.
