Local Host, All Things ConsideredDavid Nicholas is a reporter and the local host of WCMU's All Things Considered. You can hear him each weekday from 4pm - 7pm.
David previously served as WCMU's Music Director, and was the host of "Mosaic" and "The Beat."
Hired in 1990 at WCMU, David served for 11 years as the main host of "Nightside Jazz and Blues." He was named News Director and served as local "Morning Edition" host in 2001, winning several awards from the Michigan Association of Broadcasters, and played a role in winning "Station of the Year" in 2003.
In October 2015, David was tapped to be WCMU's music director. That same month, he launched "Mosaic," a daily music show that also focuses heavily on the arts. The title comes from the idea that WCMU has become a cultural center for those making, featuring and celebrating art in central and northern Michigan. Additionally, he hosted "The Beat," a weekly mix of jazz, blues and more.
David returned to his news background in March, 2023, when he was named the local host of All Things Considered.
