Brian Sussman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brian Sussman is a conservative commentator in the bay area San Francisco radio station KSFO.
Sussman is possibly best known in the San Francisco area as the former weatherman at CBS station KPIX during the evening newscast. During his tenure at KPIX, he also anchored the weekly segment Brian's Kids for the noon newscast, which highlighted a local child in need of adoption. Sussman himself is an adoptive father of several children. He left the station in 2000, shortly after the retirement of longtime anchor and local personality Dave McElhatton to start his talk radio career on the KSFO program Right Thinking from the Left Coast. He returned to KPIX temporarily in 2001 as the late night weatherman and substitute anchor but was released from that job.
He hosts his own show weekdays from 6pm to 8pm on KSFO which is a conservative talk radio show. He has been unsuccessful at launching his show nationally.
