Canton Radio: Morning Host Pat DeLuca OUT At WHBC

Pat DeLuca
Morning show personality Pat DeLuca has left AC WHBC Mix 94.1 FM after two years, according to indeonelin.com.

When his contract with the station expired Saturday, he was offered a six-month continuance that he chose not to accept, DeLuca said Thursday.

DeLuca and his attorney, Steve Okey, “had questions about the continuance that no one would answer,” he said. “That’s a big problem when you ask for clarification and you get no answers.”

An Akron native, DeLuca was hired as a part-timer at Q92 in Alliance in 2002, when he was 20. A year later, he was given the 7 p.m.-to-midnight show on Q92, which he did until 2006, when he was promoted to hosting the station’s morning show.

In 2012, DeLuca was fired from Q92. He then launched an online radio station, DSN (DeLuca Show Network). It continued through August 2013, when he was hired at Mix 94.1.

DeLuca was teamed with Kathy Vogel on the morning show. “Kathy was the best partner I ever had — such talent, such a good personality, such good chemistry,” he said.
