Radio legend Jim Scott says he has ALS

Local radio legend Jim Scott is asking fans for support after being diagnosed with ALS, often known as "Lou Gerhrig's Disease. The former 700 WLW host said he got the news in the spring of 2022 after he began experiencing weakness in the same arm and leg that the polio he had as a child weakened. "ALS is similar to polio in that they are motor-neuron diseases," he wrote. "The big difference is that not everyone who contracted polio died from it. ALS is a fatal disease."
