Fox Sports 1310AM – Morning Drive Homecoming for DeCandido
Hampton Roads, August 23, 2024 – Max Media of Hampton Roads is proud to announce the addition and return of John “Johnny D” DeCandido and The Morning Drive with Johnny D back to Hampton Roads. “Returning to where it all started with The Morning Drive on Fox Sports 1310 AM is an absolute thrill. The passion, opinions, and lively interaction that Hampton Roads sports fans bring to the airwaves are unmatched. I’m truly blessed to provide the listeners with a new home to express their love for the game.” Said DeCandido
Johnny D’s journey into the world of sports radio began in the mid-90s in Hampton Roads, where he launched his signature Morning Sports Talk Show on The Score 1310AM. DeCandido’s next move landed him in Las Vegas, where he joined the Sports Fan Radio Network before becoming a standout personality in South Beach, Miami on The CBS Sports Radio Network. His expertise and engaging personality earned him roles covering major sports teams, including the Miami Dolphins, Miami Heat, Florida Panthers, and Miami Hurricanes, on WFAN, WIOD, and WQAM.
With more than 20 years of experience, Johnny D continues to captivate audiences by blending entertainment with sharp sports commentary. Brand Manager Dino Franza stated, “We’re so excited to introduce a new live and local morning show, which will complement the great national shows heard on Fox Sports 1310 AM and 100.9 FM. The Morning Drive with Johnny D will give us the market’s only local morning sports talk radio show. Johnny D was heard on The Score 1310 AM in the 90’s, so it’s somewhat of a homecoming for him. He knows the Hampton Roads market and will be a nice lead-in to the Dan Patrick Show and The Herd with Colin Cowherd.” DeCandido’s first day on the air will be Tuesday, September 3rd.
