Broadcast history

Baltimore comedian Mickey Cucchiella had been a regular guest on 98Rock's morning show when he signed on to co-host the station's evening show in early 2002. He debuted with co-host Jennifer Wagner in March 2002.[1] Wagner left in late 2002 and Mickey continued to host the show with Producer Don Koenig. In February 2003, Amelia Ryerse became the show's new co-host.[2]

Mickey and Amelia took over the afternoon drive time show in early 2004, a move aimed to put 98Rock in direct competition with Don and Mike (carried on Live 105.7). At that time, Producer Don Koenig was dropped.[3]

The show was moved to the mornings in 2003 a renamed the Mickey, Amelia, and Lopez show. The show was later, renamed Mickey, Amelia, and Speigel; as the morning show on October 30, 2006, after Lopez died, and following the departure of Kirk McEwen and Mark Ondayko.[4]

On June 28, 2013, Mickey Cucchiella announced that he was leaving the morning show [5]

July 8, 2013 the new station line-up was revealed. Justin Schlegel joined the morning show team, while Amelia Ryerse moved back to the afternoon drive. Scott Reardon also made a transition from Producer to On-Air Talent, leaving Mike Anderson to back-fill his production position. The new morning show is named after the three on-air personalities - Justin, Scott, and Speigel.[6]
