Radio and television personality Matt Pinfield is out of a coma and expected to make a full recovery. The well-known radio and television personality suffered a stroke in January.
Since that time, he has been in ICU until being released in February to a Los Angeles rehabilitation center.
Through his agent, Pinfield told Barrett Media, “I am so grateful to be alive. The general consensus was that I wasn’t going to make it, and here I am! I am overwhelmed and humbled by your love. I am beyond grateful for those that have stuck by me.”
“My radio family includes my listeners, my dear friends and the wonderful radio companies that continue to support me. It means the world to me. I cannot wait to get back to hosting Flashback, KLOS and SoCal Sound.”
Adding, “We were told I might not speak or walk again, and my voice is back, and I am doing five hours of physical therapy a day, and my walking continues to improve. There is nothing like my radio community. I love you all.”
Pinfield is known for this time hosting “120 Minutes” for MTV, a weekly music show, “New & Improved w/ Matt Pinfield” on KLOS Los Angeles, and Westwood One’s “Flashback.”
