The recent acquisition of United Stations by Gemini XIII has led to another show departing the syndication marketplace.
Alpha Media Hot AC “Mix 94.1” WHBC-FM Canton OH, which has featured Dave & Jimmy since October 2018, will debut a new local morning show on Monday, October 9. Program Director ‘Java Joel’ Murphy wrote on Facebook, “Really enjoyed working with + listening to this crew every morning. Their show is no longer available for syndication. Thanks for all the fun Dave and Jimmy Radio Show. Our new “live and local” show starts Monday, October 9th.”
Based at iHeartMedia CHR 97.9 WNCI Columbus and hosted by Dave Kaelin, ‘Jimmy Jam’ Shaheen, and Kelsey Webb, the duo were first paired on the “WNCI Morning Zoo” in 1992 rising to lead hosts in the late 1990s. Webb has been with the show since 2005 rising from a producer to co-host. The show’s affiliate base included WHBC-FM as well as iHeart’s “104.5 The Cat” WLKT Lexington KY, “Y105” WYHT Mansfield OH, Rome Radio Partners’ “103.1 Radio M” 710 WROM Rome GA, MyTown Media’s “Kiss 104.7” KXNC Hays KS, and Seven Mountains Media’s “Majic 99.3/104.5” WXMJ/WHMJ Meadville PA.
