Clear Channel Phoenix’s Hot AC, Mix 96.9 (KMXP) brings aboard Mathew Blades to fill in the gap of the morning drive, after morning show host Chris Parker left the station in early December to join 98.7 The Peak up the street.

Mathew Blades comes from Adult Hits WLWK in Milwaukee as afternoon drive guy. He is to begin mornings on Mix 96.9 in early March.

Wondering what happened to Chuck Powell on the Peak, and Chris Parker on Mix 96.9? Both have been taken off of their respective station websites most recently and were not on-the-air.

It is learned that Chuck Powell, morning drive personality at Bonneville’s 98.7 The Peak (KPKX), will not be returning to The Peak.

Mix 96.9 morning show host, Chris Parker (hosted with Amy Van Dyken for much of the time), will be moving the morning show to 98.7 The Peak.

Chris and Amy will begin on December 17. It is not known where Chuck Powell will be going at this time.
