WCOD ADDS A FAMILIAR VOICE TO THE MORNING SHOW

106 WCOD, The Cape’s Best Music station announces that local radio personality Stephanie Viva has joined the station’s morning show, starting Monday, November 23rd. Stephanie is joining longtime host Dan Mahoney each weekday morning from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. for the re-launch of the longest running radio show on Cape Cod - the “Dan and Stephanie Morning Show.”

Dan and Stephanie were ranked first in Nielsen ratings across all demographics before Viva’s departure in 2014. They won a Merit award from the Massachusetts Broadcasters Association in 2012 for On- Air Personality, were voted Cape Cod Magazine’s Best Radio Personalities of 2014 & 2015 and best radio station on Cape Cod’s A-list in 2014.

After service in the U.S. Army, Viva started her broadcasting career in 2000 as an on-air Traffic /Entertainment news reporter in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. She moved to the Cape in 2002 and partnered with Dan Mahoney for the “Dan and Stephanie Morning Show” on WRZE. In 2009, the show moved to WCOD.

“This really comes full circle for me,” said Viva. “It isn’t every day that you find a radio partner that just makes you feel comfortable, and joining Dan on this show makes me feel in a way like I am coming home. That said, Dan can expect a few jabs here and there … It’s what makes us - us.”

“I could not be any more excited to have a partner like Stephanie back,” said Mahoney. “We have always been known to have a good time on the radio. But all jokes aside, it will be terrific to get back to business as usual- the community oriented radio we are known for here at WCOD.”

“I believe that her homecoming is reflective of the professional partnership she has with Dan, the strong respect we have for Stephanie as a top-tier broadcasting professional and the desirability of iHeartMedia Cape Cod as the most attractive local workplace for media career opportunities” said Allison Makkay Davis, Market President, iHeartMedia Cape Cod. ”
