Cincinnati native Brian Douglas has been on air with Q for 25 years, living out the dream he’s had for as long as he can remember – to live in his hometown and “work at one of the greatest radio stations in America!” When he’s in the studio, his MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone are never far away, and neither is his amazing partner Laura Powell!
Brian’s three kids are the loves of his life, although his involvement with charities and organizations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, WAVE Foundation and many others is close behind. Laura agrees – “The Light The Night Walk for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society makes me cry every year,” she says. She and Brian both cite The Q102 Bosom Ball for Breast Cancer as one of their favorite station events and a great display of unity.
When she’s not in the studio, you’ll find Laura spending time at her local Kroger, T.J. Maxx and Kohl’s, and of course enjoying her beautiful family. Brian is an avid photographer, a certified scuba diver and loves heading down to The Banks for all the excitement happening at The Holy Grail, Crave, Moerlein Lager House and more!
We would love you to join us for the 2013 Mercy Health Heart Mini Marathon and Heart Walks, sponsored in part by Q102 and Cincinnati MINI. We both are BIG believers in what the American Heart Association does. Please join us this Sunday March 17th! Yes it is St. Patrick’s Day this year, and it is going to be a blast!

COLUMBUS — On Friday (March 1), the statewide ban on texting and driving goes into effect in Ohio.
Under the law, no driver is permitted to text and drive, according to Lake County Sheriff Deputy Frank Leonbruno.
For drivers under age 18, the use of portable electronic devices while driving is banned. These means drivers under age 18 cannot text, email, play video games, use a GPS device NOR talk on the phone while driving, even if you are stopped in traffic or at a traffic light, Leonbruno said.
For drivers under age 18, it is a primary offense, which means you can be stopped for any of the reasons listed above. The first violation is a $150 fine, and driver’s license suspended for 60 days.
The second offense is a $300 fine, and driver’s license suspended for a year.
It’s a primary offense, which means law enforcement can stop you for any of the above reasons.
For drivers over 18, it is a secondary enforcement offense, meaning police need another reason to stop and cite violators, such as weaving or speeding.
For drivers over 18, it is illegal to use a handheld electronic wireless communications device to write, send or read a text while driving in Ohio.
The offense is a minor misdemeanor, and you could face a fine of up to $150.
