B96.9FM, Fort Wayne’s R&B and Old School radio station, is proud to announce the addition of the Steve Harvey morning show, which can now be heard mornings from 6am to 10am Monday through Saturday on 96.9FM and streaming at B969FM.com.
Kevin Musselman, vice president of Adams Radio Group and general manager of Adams Radio Group Fort Wayne, said “We are thrilled to bring the #1 syndicated morning show in the US to our listeners here in Ft. Wayne. Steve Harvey is a huge talent and we look forward to his great success on B96.9”
Steve Harvey is the host of the Steve Harvey Morning Show radio program, and the popular TV shows Family Feud and Celebrity Family Feud, The Steve Harvey Show, and family favorite Little Big Shots. His popularity continues to grow to global proportions, bolstered by his new role as host of the Miss Universe Pageant. Harvey is currently one of the most powerful voices in media, touting a career spanning nearly 30 years as a top stand-up comedian (Mr. Harvey made several appearances in Ft. Wayne at Snickerz comedy bar), actor, award winning TV personality and talk show host, best-selling author, entrepreneur, and humanitarian.
The Steve Harvey Morning Show is celebrating it’s 12-year anniversary in national syndication with Premiere Networks and is the #1 syndicated morning show in America with nearly 7 million weekly listeners on more than 100 stations nationwide. Harvey co-created and hosted The Neighborhood Awards from 2002-2016, an awards show that honored local businesses, institutions and leaders for the excellence demonstrated in their communities.
Harvey is also author of multiple New York Times best-selling titles. His first book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment inspired the 2012 box office topping movie, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man and its 2014 sequel Think Like a Man Too.
As a humanitarian and an entrepreneur, Harvey makes it a priority to give back. Through the Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation, he and his wife provide hundreds of teens annually with mentoring and educational opportunities. His company, HARCAL, allows him to create business partnerships that specifically target and benefit the working middle class.
Harvey’s list of accolades includes several NAACP Image Awards, a People’s Choice Award, induction into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He also won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host for The Steve Harvey Show in 2014, 2015 and 2017, as well as Outstanding Game Show Host for Family Feud in 2014 and 2017.
