Max Media of Hampton Roads has announced the addition and return of John “Johnny D” DeCandido and The Morning Drive with Johnny D back to the FOX Sports 1310. DeCandido’s first day back on the air will be Tuesday, September 3rd.
“Returning to where it all started with The Morning Drive on Fox Sports 1310 AM is an absolute thrill,” said DeCandido in a statement. “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.”
Brand Manager Dino Franza added, “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.”
DeCandido’s sports radio career began in the mid-90’s in Hampton Roads. He also spent time with the Sports Fan Radio Network and the CBS Sports Radio Network.
The rest of the FOX Sports 1310 lineup will feature the national lineup from FOX Sports Radio including The Dan Patrick Show and The Herd with Colin Cowherd.
