Brian Glenn Wilson (born February 15, 1956) is an American former anchor reporter for the Fox News Channel. He is the past chairman of the Capitol Hill Radio/TV Correspondents' Association. Until May 2017, he was the co-host of a popular morning drive time radio show on WMAL and WMAL-FM in the Washington, D.C. area.

In February 2018 Cumulus Media announced that it had hired Wilson as the new host of its Nashville Morning News show on SuperTalk 99.7 WWTN-FM, a talk radio station in Nashville.

Wilson most recently hosted a Washington D.C. based weekend program on Fox News Channel, and was once a substitute anchor for Brit Hume on the weekday program Special Report with Brit Hume. From 2003 to 2006, he was also the congressional correspondent for the network. In January 2007, he was promoted to the Washington bureau chief for Fox News.[1][2]

In mid September, 2010, Wilson resigned from the network.[3][4]

Launching Right Tone Communications in 2010, Brian currently offers advice on communication to corporations and individuals.[5]

During his career at Fox News, Brian was the first to report on Justice Sandra Day O'Connor’s retirement from the U.S. Supreme Court, and has covered the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the Tom DeLay ethics investigations, the Democratic National Convention, and the Republican National Convention.

Wilson holds a Master’s degree, with honors, in print journalism from the American University, in addition to having served as an adjunct professor in AU's School of Communications.

Prior to working at Fox News, Wilson was a reporter and anchor on the Fox O&O WTTG in Washington, D.C. Earlier in his career, Wilson was a reporter at KFDA, the CBS affiliate station in Amarillo, Texas.

In July 2016, newspapers reported Wilson had allegedly sexually harassed Fox News reporter Rudi Bakhtiar in 2006, before his promotion to the Washington bureau chief in 2007.[1][2] In those reports, Wilson denies harassing Bakhtiar.[1][2]
