Veteran Pittsburgh Radio Personality Scott Paulsen Lands VA Job

PITTSBURGH, PA - After more than three decades as one of the most popular voices in Pittsburgh radio, Scott Paulsen is the new morning host at a Virginia classic rock station. He made the announcement Tuesday on Facebook.

"Just wanted to let you know that the beautiful bride and I, after 33 years in Pittsburgh, have relocated to spectacular Fredericksburg, Virginia," he said. "You can now hear me each morning on the classic rock station here, 96.9 The Rock.

"If we weren’t able to give you a face to face farewell it’s only because moving all that crap we packed onto a 90-acre farm just about killed us. I promise we’ll make the effort to see one
another again soon."

Paulsen, 59, is best known for being the morning show host at WDVE-FM, first doing the show solo beginning in 1986 and then partnering with Pittsburgh comedian Jim Krenn in`1988. For 11 years, the duo entertained Pittsburghers with characters such as Stanley P. Kachowski, Bobby Subgum, Ralph the Cat and Buddy (down at Buddy's).

Paulsen also hosted a talk show on WBGG-AM, Pittsburgh's ESPN network. He returned to WDVE in 2002 to host the evening shift, departing in 2006 for WRKZ-FM. Paulsen returned to WDVE as an executive contributor to the morning show in 2012 before departing for a third time in 2014.
