Connoisseur Media is reinforcing its commitment to live, local radio with a familiar voice returning to a prominent role in Dayton. The company announced that Scott Sharp has been named the new morning host on Z-93, marking a homecoming for a broadcaster whose career has long been tied to the Gem City.
Sharp will lead The Morning Z with Scott Sharp, airing weekdays from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., beginning immediately.
Sharp’s return represents another strategic step by Connoisseur Media as it continues to invest in local personalities and community-focused programming. The move aligns with the company’s broader philosophy that live, local content remains essential for audience connection. This is especially true during high-visibility dayparts like morning drive.
“I am beyond excited to be back on the Morning Z on the legendary Z-93,” said Sharp. “Being live every morning from 6 to 10 allows us to take things to the next level and focus on what’s happening NOW in Dayton. The music you remember, the station you remember and now the fun you remember, LIVE every morning on Z-93”
With decades of experience in the Dayton market, Sharp brings a deep understanding of the community and its listeners. That local insight is expected to shape the tone and direction of The Morning Z, which blends familiar music with conversational segments centered on what is happening across the region.
Z-93 Program Director Joel Murphy said Sharp’s enthusiasm and brand connection made him a natural fit during the station’s relaunch. He noted Sharp’s commitment to listeners and advertisers. Murphy added that Sharp’s passion for the market positions the morning show as a key driver of the station’s next growth phase.
Sharp said returning to Z-93 is meaningful because it allows him to reconnect with the audience live each morning. He emphasized being responsive in real time. The format focuses on current conversations and local moments. It also pairs them with music tied to the station’s legacy.
Listeners can tune in to The Morning Z with Scott Sharp weekdays from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Z-93.
