SOUTH FAYETTE TWP. — Pittsburgh's iHeartMedia radio cluster announced Wednesday that “The Woody Show” will join 105.9 The X (WXDX-FM), for morning drive, effective Jan. 4.

The top-rated morning show will broadcast from 6 to 10 a.m. on Pittsburgh's alternative and rock station.

“'The Woody Show” is highly-interactive, socially-engaging appointment radio," an iHeartMedia press release said. "Featuring Woody, along with co-hosts Ravey, Greg Gory, Menace and Sebas, 'The Woody Show' is described by listeners as 'authentic,' 'raw,” “unapologetic,' and the 'recess/happy hour on the radio.'

In 2016, the program was a NAB Marconi Radio Award finalist for “Major Market Personality of the Year,” and it launched into national syndication the following year by Premiere Networks. Fans can follow the show on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

“The entire 105.9 The X family is excited to welcome Woody back to Pittsburgh,” said Abby Krizner, program director for WXDX, who moves to the 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. time slot daily. Travis will be the deejay from 1-3 p.m. before sports-talk host Mark Madden.

"Woody and his crew join a strong lineup along with Mark Madden in the afternoons, the best rock and alternative for Pittsburgh, and our unmatched coverage and broadcasts of The Pittsburgh Penguins,” Krizner said.

Woody said, “My Pittsburgh roots run deep. I was conceived, birthed, and like Mark Cuban, graduated high school in Mt. Lebanon. I bleed black and gold. My radio career began as an intern at B94 and thanks to Abby Krizner, (and local iHeartMedia Pittsburgh executives) Gene Romano and David Edgar, it continues on at 105-9 The X.”

Syndicated radio host Woody grew up in Mt. Lebanon as a Steelers fan. He joins Pittsburgh's 105.9 The X as morning man in January.
