Bob Delmont is back. iHeartMedia names him evening host at 98.7 WMZQ.
What We Know Delmont now hosts evenings at 98.7 WMZQ from 7 PM to midnight. Simultaneously, he continues the 10 AM to 3 PM midday shift at 93.1 WPOC. The Pittsburgh native brings over 30 years of radio experience. He previously spent 27 years in the DC/Baltimore market before his recent departure.
What They Said “Bob’s back!” declared Jeff Kapugi, iHeartMedia’s Region Senior Vice President of Programming. “He’s one of the best we have, and we are lucky to have him on our DC/Baltimore team!” Delmont expressed his enthusiasm: “I can’t tell you how excited I am to be working at the mighty 98.7 WMZQ on the shift where it all began for me. Saying this is a gift is a huge understatement.”
What Remains Unclear How will Delmont manage two five-hour shows across separate stations? The operational logistics between WMZQ evenings and WPOC middays warrant clarification. Furthermore, his long-term programming strategy remains undisclosed. Career trajectory details also appear sparse.
What It Means This hire strengthens iHeartMedia’s country radio footprint in the region. Delmont’s return signals confidence in veteran talent and market stability. Moreover, the dual-station approach potentially expands audience reach significantly. Importantly, someone got hired!
