iHeartMedia Detroit's Channel 955 has announced plans to honor the "Mojo in the Morning" show with a special anniversary broadcast on Friday, February 21. The broadcast will take place at iHeartMedia Detroit headquarters and will broadcast live from 6 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Channel 955, 104.5 WSNX and 92.5 KISS-FM.

Hosted by Mojo, Spike and Shannon, the anniversary broadcast will feature a variety of special guests as well as an appearance from the show's original crew members, Sara Fouracre, Chad Mitchell and Eric Harthen.

"Mojo in the Morning" first made its radio debut on February 21, 2000, in Detroit. The fanfavorite morning show is hosted by Mojo and Spike and co-hosted by Shannon Murphy and has consistently grown in popularity over the years since its launch. Each morning, Mojo, Spike and Murphy connect with fans by sharing stories about their lives and treating each listener as part of their morning show family. The show's entertaining segments include "Spike's Phone Scams" and "War of the Roses."

"‘Mojo in the Morning' is the Mount Rushmore of Detroit radio," said Tony Travatto, Executive Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia Detroit. "The talented cast and show is continually striving to do bigger and better things than before and has evolved over the years to connect even more with the Detroit community. ‘Mojo in the Morning' is one of the most accessible, cutting-edge and successful shows in Detroit and we're honored to have it on our program lineup."

"There has been no better place to have raised my kids than Detroit," said Mojo. "I can't thank the iHeartMedia management and staff enough. More importantly, I'd like to thank the listeners for all they've done for my family and me. The fact that we have been embraced in the community that we love and treated as extended family by our listeners is an honor."

"I've been lucky to make a living with Mojo and this radio family each morning," said Spike. "I never take myself too seriously, but I do take this job seriously. I realize that a huge number of people in Michigan have made us a part of their morning routine and I'll never take it for granted."

In addition, the "Mojo in the Morning" on-air hosts also volunteer and participate in an array of philanthropy-driven programs for the Detroit community. The hosts collectively founded Mojo in the Morning's Breaking and Entering Christmas Wish, a charitable organization that helps listeners get through tough times by raising cash donations to help with bills, toys, clothes, and food during the holidays. Additionally, they created Time Team Detroit, an organization where Shannon connects with non-profits and creates events where people can volunteer their time instead of giving money. The volunteer events include sprucing up underprivileged schools to working with kids from the Miracle League who have mental and physical disabilities but can play baseball because of the organization volunteers.
