The new BEN FM Morning Show with Matt & Kristen will broadcast weekdays 6-9 a.m. Matt Cord has come in from sister station 93.3 WMMR, where he was night host for 11 years. His co-host is Kristen Herrmann and their first show aired Tuesday, January 3. Cord is also well known to Philadelphia sports fans for his energetic team introductions and in-game presentations as the Philadelphia 76ers public address announcer, a position he’s held for 20 years.
Chuck Damico, 95.7 BEN FM Program Director, said, “Matt’s a total pro. I’ve known him my whole career and I’m really happy he came to BEN FM. He’s a really great guy. He’s one of us. He’s a Philly guy and he knows and loves New Jersey, too. He and Kristen already have a terrific connection and that will come through on the air. Listening to them will be like hanging out with two of your favorite friends.”
“Coming from WMMR, I know how important and powerful morning radio can be,” said Cord. “Moving to mornings on BEN FM is a great opportunity for me to stay with Beasley Media Group and offer another great option for Philly morning radio listeners. I’m thrilled to work with Kristen, too. She’s super talented. We’re going to have a lot of fun.”
