John "Johnny D" DeCandido and The Morning Drive with Johnny D rejoins Max Media of Hampton Roads and Sports WGH-AM (Fox Sports 1310) in Norfolk, effective Tuesday, September 3. The 25-year radio vet has covered major sports teams, including the Miami Dolphins, Miami Heat, Florida Panthers and Miami Hurricanes on WFAN, WIOD and WQAM. DeCandido has also worked in Las Vegas for the Sports Fan Radio Network before becoming a personality in South Beach, Miami on The CBS Sports Radio Network.

"Returning to where it all started with The Morning Drive on Fox Sports 1310 AM is an absolute thrill. The passion, opinions, and lively interaction that Hampton Roads sports fans bring to the airwaves are unmatched. I'm truly blessed to provide the listeners with a new home to express their love for the game," said DeCandido.

Brand Manager Dino Franza stated, "We're so excited to introduce a new live and local morning show, which will complement the great national shows heard on Fox Sports 1310 AM and 100.9 FM. The Morning Drive with Johnny D will give us the market's only local morning sports talk radio show. Johnny D was heard on The Score 1310 AM in the 90's, so it's somewhat of a homecoming for him. He knows the Hampton Roads market and will be a nice lead-in to the Dan Patrick Show and The Herd with Colin Cowherd."
