Alpha Media Hot AC WHBC-FM (Mix 94.1)/Canton, OH will launch "Mix Mornings with Matt Fantone" on Monday, October 9. Fantone was previously heard in middays where he has spent the past year and a half since joining the station in April, 2022. Before that, Fantone served as co-host of "The Stansbury Show" on iHeartMedia's WRQK (Rock 106.9). He replaces WNCI/Columbus based Dave & Jimmy Show.

"It's been over 5 years since Mix 94-1 was live and local in morning drive," said WHBC Program Director and afternoon talent Joel Murphy. "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," added 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."
