Recently, Matty achieved radios highest honor winning the National Association of Broadcasters Marconi Award as the Morning Show Personality of the Year-Major Market. Matts first introduction to the spotlight came during high school. He auditioned to emcee the school talent show - a big step since, back then, he was considered quiet and reserved. He got the gig and was told that he was a natural with the microphone. Years later, while student teaching, a professor who was amused by his classes, directed him towards show business. His first job in radio was a daytime shift in Oneonta, NY, and then in 1972 he got a job with KWFM-FM in Tucson, AZ - a radical underground progressive rock station. From there he worked as a freelance producer and commercial voice-over announcer at Warner Records. While vacationing in Boston in 1977, Matt stumbled into a job opening with WBCN. He filled in for Charles Laquidera who had taken a leave of absence. After two months on the morning show, he was hired permanently as the midday host, where he stayed for 2 years. There he created a spoof call-in show called "Dr. Matts Advice to the Love Lorn", which in-turn led to a job at Channel 5 hosting a show called "5 All Night". This was followed by a national appearance on "Lifes Most Embarrassing Moments" with host Steve Allen. Finally, in the summer of 1980, Matt received a call from Richie Balsbaugh, who offered him a morning spot with KISS 108 FM and the rest is history. Matty in the Morning has been with KISS 108 ever since. www.mattyinthemorning.com ***************Look below for changing news*************** 7/9/07-Lisa returned back to the show today after having her baby. 3/27/07-Today is Matty's Birthday, Happy Birthday Matty!!! 2/26/07-Matty and Billy are back from vacation today!! 12/16/06-Mattys daily video blog can be viewed here: http://www.kiss108.com/pages/Matty.html?page=1 12/13/06-Lisa announced that she is pregant, congrats Lisa! 11/17/06-Lisa is now married.
