The 39-year veteran of WSB began his radio career in 1970 at the age of 15. He’s worked at WRFC, WUOG, WAPE, WHIE, WKEU and WGRI before starting at WSB with an overnight music show in 1984. Scott quickly advanced to flying the WSB Skycopter to deliver morning and afternoon traffic reports. In 1991, he was one of the founding fathers of WSB’s “Atlanta’s Morning News.” Slade has been the only host of the award-winning program since it debuted on 95.5 WSB.

Slade recently was inducted into the Georgia Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame, and in 2008 he was inducted into the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame. Slade also has won two NAB Marconi awards for Major Market and Large Market Personality of the Year, Edward R. Murrow regional awards for Best Newscast, and numerous GAB awards.

Showcasing his commitment to the community, Scott initiated the WSB Radio Care-a-Thon in 2000, benefiting the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. The annual event has raised more than $30 million to fight children’s cancer and blood disorders.
