Fred Show Joins HOT 99.5/DC & Z104.3/Baltimore
• iHeartMedia announced the impending debut of the Premiere-syndicated The Fred Show on Top 40 duo WIHT (HOT 99.5)/Washington, DC and WZFT (Z104.3)/Baltimore, effective Thursday, April 30. It will replace Intern John & Your Morning Show, which exited earlier this month.
“We’re thrilled to welcome The Fred Show to HOT 99.5 and Z104.3,” said Jeff Kapugi, Region SVP of Programming. “We’ve been fans for years, and we can’t wait for our audience to discover the energy, humor, and connection that make this show so special.”
Based at iHeartMedia sister WKSC (Kiss 103.5)/Chicago, The Fred Show is led by… wait for it… Fred, accompanied by castmates Kaelin, Keke, Paulina, Showbiz Shelly and Jason Brown.
“I still can’t believe the call,” said Fred. “We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be part of mornings in DC and Baltimore. These cities and stations are home to a legacy of remarkable voices, and we’re honored for the chance to earn our place among them.”
Filling the role of local host on The Fred Show, veteran HOT 99.5 and Z104.3 morning host Rose, a holdover from the Intern John show, will remain in mornings.
