Danny Bonaduce Returns To Philadelphia Mornings On 94WYSP
Broomall native Danny Bonaduce returns home to anchor mornings on
94WYSP beginning on Monday, November 10 (weekdays, 6:00-10:00AM) on air and
online at www.94wysp.com. THE DANNY BONADUCE SHOW will broadcast from WYSP’s 400 Market Street
studios. Bonaduce is a nationally recognized television and radio
personality who also hosts a program on KLSX-FM in Los Angeles from 2:00-3:00PM, PT.
"I
couldn't be more thrilled at the prospect of moving home,” Bonaduce said of
today’s announcement. “This is my real home, where I was born. As a
traveling disc jockey, you often have to pretend that you've been rooting for
the teams of what ever town you're working. I can't tell you how
difficult that was when I worked in Detroit.
Detroit doesn't even root for Detroit. Go Eagles."
WYSP
Vice President and General Manager Jim Loftus said, “We're absolutely thrilled
to bring Danny home. Morning radio in Philadelphia will never be the same
again.”
Operations
Manager Andy Bloom added, “We looked nationwide and found a Philadelphia
native, with a proven ratings history, who just happens to be an American
icon. In getting to know Danny I've found the hardest working man in
show business and somebody just as competitive as the rest of us at the
station. I think I’ve seen this movie before.”
Bonaduce
has spent a lifetime in show business. His radio career began in Philadelphia and brought him to Chicago,
Detroit, New York
and Los Angeles.
Bonaduce starred in the series The Partridge Family, and his other television
credits include Eight is Enough, That 70’s Show, The Drew Carey Show, as well
as his self-produced and critically acclaimed reality series, Breaking
Bonaduce, and the game show, I Know My Kid’s A Star. He can currently be
seen on the CMT program Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling.
Bonaduce
will be joined in studio by Shila and Metro each morning. Shila is a
Scranton/Wilkes Barre native and joins WYSP having worked most recently at WKRK
in Detroit on
the highly rated Motor City Middays program. Metro has been with WYSP
since 2005 and will also serve as Producer of THE DANNY BONADUCE SHOW.
94WYSP will
continue to bring Philadelphia
listeners the rock they grew up with throughout the day. The station is
also the flagship station of the Philadelphia Eagles.
