Details about the program — including the host — will be announced on air at 5 p.m. Wednesday. The show replaces the Columbus-based and syndicated Dave & Jimmy radio program, the station announced via social media and on its website.
The new show begins Oct. 9, according to The Canton Rep.
A 94.1 radio personality also was teasing the new show on Monday afternoon, referencing Wednesday's announcement: "It will all come into focus then!"
Dave & Jimmy, broadcast on WNCI-FM 97.9, is no longer available for syndication as of Friday, said Joel Murphy, program director for Mix 94.1 and WHBC-FM. Those stations, along with WHBC 1480 AM, are part of Alpha Media.
Dave & Jimmy had been aired on 94.1 since 2018. Murphy noted that the popular radio personalities had joined 94.1 for the Canton Repository Grand Parade during this year's Pro Football Hall of Fame Festival Enshrinement Festival.
Airing and streaming 6 to 10 a.m. weekdays, the new show will feature "local content, local phone calls, local contests, local events, guests and more," 94.1 said on its website.
The Canton station's online postings did not reveal the host, but gave a few hints, adding that the new morning show is "all made with YOU in mind" and "hosted by one of our own."
"Get ready for a new era of morning radio for Stark County and beyond," the station added.
Murphy said in the email that "more changes" are to come.
