Veteran DJ and television host Matt Pinfield is set to return to 88.5 The SoCal Sound, Northridge, CA, on Friday at 5 pm. Pinfield will join Marc “Mookie” Kaczor on “The Drive.”
The following Monday, June 2, “The Matt Pinfield Show” will return to its 4 to 6 pm timeslot.
Pinfield was sidelined in January when he suffered a massive stroke that at the time left him “incapacitated.” (BMM 1/28). Pinfield emerged from a coma in March and said he was hoping to return to the air. (BMM 3/13)
“I am so excited and looking forward to getting back to work and on the air talking about music and doing what is truly in my heart,” Pinfield said. “Lucky to be alive — I came out of that coma and woke up grateful and, to no one’s surprise, quoting lyrics. I really missed it. Love my friends, family and coworkers — so much to catch up on!!!”
The SoCal Sound General Manager, Patrick Osburn, said of Pinfield: “That cat has nine lives!” “We were thrilled to have him join our prime-time line-up in 2024, and we’re certainly thrilled to have him back. To hear the whole story of what happened, how it got fixed, and what comes next, be sure to tune in Friday, May 30, to Mookie’s PM drive show. He and Matt will play some great tunes and tell the story! You won’t want to miss it!”
