Press Communications’ 107-1 The Boss, WWZY/WBHX-FM in New Jersey has named Cane Peterson (above right) its new PM drive host for “The Cane Show” weekdays. Additionally, Peterson will add MD duties. He’ll be joined in PM drive by traffic anchor Britney Trumpey, station meteorologist Nor’easter Nick Pittman and newsman Hunter Farman. 

Peterson moves up from nights where he joined back in May of 2022 after successful runs at Z100, K-Rock and Alt 92.3 in New York. He’s also been a VH1 VJ and an actor. 

Cane said “Thankful to Robby and CEO Bob McAllan for this opportunity. Working for a company that still believes in local radio is incredible and Robby is a guy who's passion for it makes me remember why I loved radio in the first place."
