Philly Radio: Matt Cord Lands Mid-Days At WMMR

Beasley Media Group announces that 102.9 WMGK-FM Morning Personality Matt Cord will return to 93.3 WMMR-FM to host Middays. He will officially begin his new role on Monday, December 1, 2025.

Cord has served as the morning personality on sister station WMGK-FM since September 2023. Prior to that, he was MGK’s longtime Midday Host.

A respected Philadelphia radio veteran, Cord brings a warm, friendly, and enthusiastic presence to listeners across radio and streaming platforms. His mutual love for the rock artists and music of the 70s, 80s, and 90s has defined his connection with audiences throughout his career.

His passions also extend to local sports – most notably the Philadelphia 76ers, where he has served as the in-arena voice for more than two decades. Cord’s extensive broadcast experience also includes serving as Morning Host on WBEN-FM, Afternoon Personality on the former Y100, and both Afternoon and Evening Talent on WMMR-FM.

“Although no one can step into those sparkling high-top Converse and fill them, I’ve known Pierre for 35 years,” said Cord. “I was honored to do the midday show from 1994-1995 when Pierre moved to mornings – in the ‘wake up and smell the karma’ days. Along with MMR’s loyal listeners, I’ve shared so many cool moments with ‘The Duke.’ The people who have worked at the station over the years have formed a brotherhood and sisterhood. Pierre was at the heart of it. And like all brotherhoods and sisterhoods, when one falls, those remaining carry on as a tribute to the fallen. Nobody replaces Pierre- let’s make that clear. But this will be my third stint at MMR, and I’ve never been too far away, working at BEN-FM and MGK, and I saw my friend every day. I promise to carry his amazing spirit into the studio bearing his name and do my best to make him proud.”

“Dealing with the sudden and tragic loss of the legendary Pierre Robert is something nobody at WMMR had ever imagined we would have to face, “said WMMR Program Director Chuck Damico. “And then trying to figure out how we move forward and who could possibly be the next midday host has proven to be incredibly challenging as well. Everyone at the station is so grateful that our longtime friend and radio family member Matt Cord is willing to take that on. Matt is a 40-year Philadelphia radio veteran, very talented, very welcoming, very trusted and beloved by the Rock community. No one can replace Pierre, but I know that Matt can do him proud and Pierre would absolutely 100% approve of this. We will all continue to honor Pierre in everything we do forever. And the way to start healing and moving forward is by bringing Matt back home.”

WMGK-FM will announce its new morning show host in the coming weeks.
