News/Talk 610 WIOD in Miami will have a new voice in the mornings as Andrew Colton will take over mornings beginning Monday, Jan. 9, 2023, in the slot presently held by Jimmy Cefalo (h/t Radio Insight).
Colton spent the previous sixteen years running Colton Legal Media as a litigation media specialist.
“We are pleased to introduce Andrew Colton as the new host of WIOD’s predominant live and local morning drive information program,” Shari Gonzalez, iHeartMedia Miami/Fort Lauderdale Market President said.
“With Andrew’s journalism expertise and deep connections to South Florida, he is a worthy broadcaster to step into this role. Jimmy Cefalo is a true South Florida broadcasting legend. We thank Jimmy for a wonderful 14 years and are thrilled he will remain a commentator on NewsRadio 610, WIOD.”
Additionally, he previously held the role of News Director and morning host for iHeart’s 100.3 KTLK-FM Minneapolis from 2005 to 2007. For six years, he was also a national correspondent for ABC News Radio and worked at multiple local television stations, including WFOR-TV Miami.
“South Florida is a hotbed news, information, and influence in the nation and the world,” Colton said.
“We’ve recently welcomed huge numbers of transplants from the Northeast, Midwest, and other countries who have always relied on radio as a vital information source. WIOD is that source here, and I encourage anyone who wants to know what everyone is talking about to join us weekday mornings from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.”
