Since March 2000, WHBC has started its storied broadcast day with Fred and Pam waking the Northeast Ohio area, beginning the weekday mornings live at 5:30 a.m.
With the latest national news coverage from Fox News Radio at the top and bottom of every hour, local news and sports from the award-winning WHBC newsroom, and the trained meteorologists and technology provided by The Weather Channel, the morning team also provides weather and traffic updates every fifteen minutes, or as it happens when loyal listeners call-in with live reports to 330-450-1480.
