Sam “Nugget” Dababneh

Q102, Philly's #1 Hit Music Station, announced today that Sam "Nugget" Dababneh will join the station as the new nighttime personality, effective August 2. Nugget will broadcast weeknights from 7 p.m. to midnight. He imports from Radio 1 in Dubai and has served as a morning show host at WSNX-FM in San Antonio and WHBQ-FM in Memphis. Originally from Detroit, Nugget got his start at WKQI FM. The multi-talented Nugget says he knows standup comedy, DJing, and making homemade Chick-fil-A style sandwiches.

"Nugget's personality is incredibly charismatic and we're certain he'll bring a level of excitement to nights on Q102," said Program Director and On-Air Personality Brandon (Buster) Satterfield. "Not only will his show round out an already stacked lineup in our daily programming, but the market will embrace Nugget's humor every weeknight."

"Q102 is legendary, and I can't wait to join the team," said Nugget. "I'm ready to show Philly what I got. Working with Buster is exciting and I'm sure we're going to make some noise. Big thank you to iHeart Radio for giving me this opportunity."
