San Diego Radio: The Mighty 1090 Launching New Morning Show


XPRS The Mighty 1090 AM has announced a new morning show of Ben Higgins and Steve Woods to its all-star lineup beginning Tuesday, March 27.

The new show replaces Dan Sileo, who departed for middays at Entercom's new guy talk/sports hybrid KEGY 97.3 The Machine.

The “Ben and Woods” show, airing 6am- 9am  weekdays, will unite long-time TV and radio sports radio personality Ben Higgins with legendary San Diego morning radio personality Steve Woods for a fun daily three-hour show focusing on sports, as well as other topics that San Diego sports fans care about.

As sports director for 10News KGTV-TV (San Diego’s ABC affiliate) since 2002, Higgins anchors nightly sports reports. In addition over the years, he has been a familiar host of several radio talk shows in the San Diego market covering both sports and current events. He also has hosted pre-game and post-game talk shows for Major League Baseball teams.

Woods, a veteran morning radio host with an expansive knowledge of all things radio, has been heard in the San Diego market the past eight years on a number of stations with a variety of music and talk formats. A passionate sports fan, Steven also loves walks on the beach with his wife Hannah and their screaming son, Beau. He also enjoys playing on adult league softball and baseball teams and helping in the adoption of pets into their forever homes.

“These guys really are the Odd Couple of San Diego Radio,” said Mike Shepard, 1090 VP of programming. “It’s super-nice straight-arrow Ben along with loud, opinionated and funny Steve Woods. And they really have chemistry and genuinely like each other. It’s going to be fun.”

Mike Glickenhaus, President of BCA and Mighty 1090 added, “We are excited to begin this next chapter in mornings on The Mighty 1090 with `Ben and Woods.’ It’s going to be a fun ride with entertaining and compelling sports permeating the airwaves again!”

The “Ben and Woods Show” will be joined by Mighty 1090 Executive Producer Joe “Bulldog” Tutino and Producer Paul Reindl.
