WOIO Channel 19 has hired former Plain Dealer sports columnist Roger Brown to do “Roger Brown’s Insider Report.â€Â His segment, seen Mondays and Thursdays, debuts Monday, Jan. 15 on “19 Action News at Five.â€Â “Channel 19 is definitely the most provocative and most willing to push the envelope. I definitely fit in with that,†Brown said. His segments will encompass sports, news, politics and more. Brown was among about 60 Plain Dealer newsroom employees who accepted a buyout package in an effort to cut costs. He left the newspaper in late November after 19 years.
