Ann Fisher will retire from daily journalism on Friday, May 26, 2023. The host of All Sides with Ann Fisher joined 星空无限传媒 in 2009 and since then has built a strong following through the daily public-affairs talk show designed to touch upon all sides of the issues and events that shape life in central Ohio.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a bittersweet moment for me as I鈥檝e loved my time and my listeners,鈥� Fisher said. 鈥淚 am excited to see what鈥檚 ahead after more than four decades in daily journalism.鈥�
Fisher worked 30 years in the newspaper business before joining 星空无限传媒. She has covered politics, public affairs, culture, media and business over the course of her career.
鈥淎nn believed in fair and balanced coverage and created a sense of community with her guests and listeners,鈥� said Mike Thompson, 星空无限传媒鈥檚 chief content director for radio. 鈥淥ur station and its listeners have been fortunate to have Ann as the face and voice of 星空无限传媒.鈥�
All Sides with Ann Fisher is central Ohio鈥檚 only daily radio news interview program attracting 65,000 listeners each week. It has helped lead 星空无限传媒鈥檚 coverage of landmark Supreme Court decisions, the COVID-19 pandemic and the George Floyd racial justice protests.

Fisher began her career at The Grand Rapids Press, before moving to Ohio in 1987 to join The Blade in Toledo. She later spent nearly a decade in the Columbus bureau covering state government and politics. She joined The Columbus Dispatch in 1998, covering Appalachia before joining the editorial board and then spent six years as an editor and nearly four years as Metro Columnist.
鈥淲hile I moved to Ohio for work, I stayed because I love central Ohio and its people,鈥� Fisher said.
