In the midst of all the negative in the news, Abby will be bringing you some “Happy Headlines”, each weekday morning at 6:45 and 7:45am! Listen to hear some HAPPY news for a change!
It’s a morning show feature here on Mix 96.9…because I feel like we could all use a little more good news in our lives…all bad news has been CANCELLED – at least for the moment.
Presented by The Orthopaedic Center – expert care, when and where you need it! TOC, helping you live a better life!
- Congratulations to Antonio who recently finished his 30 th Marathon. The 92-Year-Old finished the Rome Marathon in under 7 hours….10 minutes faster than last year.
Witnesses at the marathon were amazed. - A woman was pleasantly surprised when her DoorDash driver turned out to be her former high school teacher. He had retired after 38 years but took up delivery work to help pay for his son’s tuition. Wanting to give back, she started a GoFundMe that raised over $40,000.
- 3 middle school girls were recently awarded the “Exceptional Service” from the FBI. The young, brave girls stopped a kid from being abducted last year. The abductor plead guilty and is now in jail.
- Who couldn’t use a little luck of the Irish? The Shamrock Tenors will be performing at the VBC this Sunday at 1pm, presented by Broadway Theatre League. And we’re going to make somebody happy by giving away tickets before 9 this morning.

Unlimited Puppy kisses…this new job is Crazy But True.
A Pet care company is seeking interns for a job that comes with unlimited puppy kisses. But you must have a really good sniffer to apply! Spot and Tango is looking to hire a Dog Breath Sniffer. They’ve already had more than 100 applicants….some with Masters Degrees…and some questioning whether this job is for real. Apparently it is and the pay is $25 an hour. As a Dog Breath Sniffer…you will Conduct close-up breath tests on a diverse panel of pups, maintain highly detailed scent notes (e.g., “Hint of tuna? Eau de garbage? Delightfully neutral?”) Provide real-time feedback to keep dog breath in check..and you’ll be responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of the companies top-secret dental solution. You could be the next Dog Breath Sniffer…and it’s…
Crazy But True!
Originally from Rock Falls, Illinois, Abby has been in radio for almost 30 years, and in the Huntsville market her entire career, with the last 16 at Mix 96.9. She started out as the midday host for the first 9 years, and has since transitioned into host of the morning show.
Abby loves spending time with her husband and 2 kids, and her beautiful granddaughter – eating at her favorite Mexican restaurant and most of all shopping for shoes! Her favorite vacation destination is the beach! One thing she couldn’t live without…a good cup of coffee anytime of the day!
Being from Connecticut, Bill is a huge New England Patriot fan! His career in radio began there and has taken him through Massachusetts, Central Pennsylvania…and along the journey, he’s met some pretty cool people – Sting, Van Halen, Aerosmith, TobyMac, Lauren Daigle and more!
Bill and his wife have three kids, two of which attend the University of Alabama Huntsville, and they all definitely take advantage of the fact that his ears “are shot”!
As the Mix 96.9 Morning Show Co-Host and “Traffic Guy”, Bill adds his quick wit and humor to the morning show along with making sure you know everything you need to know in order to get to and from work safely Monday through Friday morning and afternoon.
When not hanging out in the Mix 96.9 studio, he and his wife take advantage of all the great sights and sounds, and, of course, the local food scene in and around the Huntsville area!
