Matt Fantone Wakes Up In Canton… Again
• Alpha Media Hot AC WHBC (Mix 94-1)/Canton, OH promotes from within, proudly announcing the impending launch of its brand new local morning show, Mix Mornings with Matt Fantone, anchored by Matt Fantone, who has hosted Mix 94-1’s midday show from April 2022 to present.
The new live and local wake-up show replaces the long-running Dave & Jimmy, based at WNCI/Columbus, which recently ended its syndication run.
Fantone is no stranger to morning drive in the Hall Of Fame City — for many years, he did mornings at iHeartMedia’s crosstown rival WRQK (Rock 106.9).
“It’s been over five years since Mix 94-1 was live and local in morning drive,” said Joel Murphy, Mix 94-1 PD/afternoon personality. “Matt is well known and well liked in the community. The show will be super-interactive with live calls, texts, video & social media engagement. All originating from the historic WHBC Building in downtown Canton. It’s a show that promises to live, breathe and, most importantly, sound like Canton, hosted by one of its very own.”
“Ever since I moved to Canton, I’ve always loved this area, and 10 years later, I am so excited, proud and humbled to be hosting this morning show,” said Fantone. “Sincere thanks go to ‘Java’ Joel Murphy, Pam Cook, Larry Gawthrop and Clay Church for believing in me. Shout out to my wife, who now has to wrangle our young kids through the mornings all by herself. Most importantly, thank you to everyone in my corner. For a decade, this market has given me nothing but love and I can’t wait to give it back.”
Mix Mornings with Matt Fantone premieres Monday, Oct. 9 on Mix 94-1.
