HITS 96.1 Charlotte Adds ''The Fred Show'' for Mornings

The Fred Show

iHeartMedia's WHQC-FM (HITS 96.1) Charlotte will launch Premiere Networks' "The Fred Show" as its new morning program beginning January 5. The syndicated show, hosted by Fred and featuring Kaelin, Paulina, Showbiz Shelly, Jason Brown and Keke, marks a return to the Queen City for its namesake.

Fred is already familiar to Charlotte viewers and listeners. He co-hosted WCCB-TV's evening magazine program The EDGE from 2007 to 2010 and previously anchored mornings on iHeartMedia's 96.1 The Beat.

"It's a Charlotte homecoming," Fred said. "I started my morning radio career there and I'm so grateful and excited to bring The Fred Show to the QC."

Trevor Morini, Senior Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia Charlotte and Raleigh, said the show brings a broad and engaging cast. "Featuring a dynamic mix of personalities and life stages, The Fred Show offers someone for everyone to relate to."

The new lineup follows the departure of The Miguel & Holly Show, which is returning to Tampa to begin hosting mornings on iHeart's WMTX (Mix 100.7) in January.
