Redemption for smooth-voiced homeless man Ted Williams in Ohio

The once-homeless man whose silky voice turned him into an internet sensation five years ago is back on the air — at the same Ohio radio station where he started a broadcasting career derailed by drug and alcohol addiction.

Ted Williams recently returned to the airwaves with a weekday program on WKVO-AM, The Columbus Dispatch reported. Williams, 58, got his start at the station in the 1980s.

The new show is Williams’ first steady employment since 1993 and comes five years after The Columbus Dispatch featured his smooth radio voice in an online video.
