Philly Radio: Chio Replaces Logan At WISX

Chio

A familiar voice is returning to the Philly radio dial.  Chio - of  "Chio in the Morning" fame - will start airing his show May 1st on WISX 106.1 FM.

But there's a catch, according to philly.com.

Chio, who was let go from WRDW 96.5 FM Wired in December 2012, had landed at KSSX 95.7 Kiss FM, in San Diego, and he won't be moving back. Both Mix and Kiss are owned by Clear Channel, allowing for the cross-pollination.

Instead, he'll do a customized broadcast from 6 to 9 a.m. Eastern time from San Diego. For those keeping score at home, that means the dude will start work at 3 a.m. Pacific time.

His co-host will be Nicole Michalik, who is the co-host of the Mix 106.1 morning show. She will broadcast from Philadelphia. Chio and Nicole worked together while Chio was still with WIOQ 102.1 FM Q102, and Nicole was just getting her start in radio.

Logan, who previously hosted the Mix morning show, is no longer with the company.
