Jeremy Levitt, the Florida law professor who has replaced CNN and TV One contributor Roland Martin as morning man on Midway Broadcasting's WVON-AM 1690, is the brother-in-law of station boss Melody Spann Cooper.

Cooper, who followed her father into the radio business, said she was "reluctant" to hire Levitt because of the family tie. "But I asked several people in the industry whose opinion I respect, and all of them asked, 'Would you hire him if he wasn't related?' " she said. The answer was yes.
