Matt & Polly Wogg in the Morning Minimize

Matt Herkimer

I'm the last of the original Frog squad having been here doing morning since 1988 (With the exception of the first year when I did the 3-7 shift). The reasons I've stayed so (too) long? I love the area, I love country music, I appreciate my beloved co-workers and no one else will hire me.

 My favorite movies are "Casablanca", "Citizen Kane" and anything with the Marx Brothers. Musically I'm all over the board but I do harbor a soft spot for late 80's-early 90's country as in Rosanne Cash, Dwight Yoakam, Mavericks, Kathy Mattea, Rodney Crowell and Mary Chapin Carpenter.

 In my spare time I like to golf, hit the antique stores ( I collect old magazines), work out at the gym, watch classic movies and eat ice cream. I also do a lot of bird-watching but it sounds like a geeky thing to do so I won't mention it.

 My goals include staying at the Frog til they drag me out kicking and screaming, see my daughter marry well and live to see (and utilize) the first effective hair-regrowth treatment. 


 My radio career began in Watertown NY at Froggy 97. From there it was a trip across country from a Froggy station in Ohio and another in Kentucky. I tried being normal at a station in Arizona but I've always been a frog at heart. I was born a loooong time ago in Gananoque Ontario Canada. I've called the US my home since 1995.

In my spare time I love to play golf, when it's not snowing or Texas Hold Em poker. I'm a reality freak. I TIVO everything from Idol to Big Brother.

As far as country music goes, I'm a junkie. I love Keith Urban and Sugarland and enjoy anything with a great message.

 Congrats to all our CMA Flyaway qualifiers so far.  We'll have another CMA nominee Monday at 9, 2 and 5....and he's a "Big Star."

Jason Michael Carrol put on a heck of show last night at Turning Stone.  A big thank you to Ann who sent pictures. Click here to take a look 

It's back to Turning Stone for the sold out Leann Rimes show Saturday.  Hope to see u there.  And tune in Monday morning....we've got tickets for the sold out Sugarland show and backstage passes.  We'll have all the details on how you can win.

Unfortunately we didn't get someone Star Struck at 7:10 this morning...so that means 4 tickets up for grabs Monday morning to see Carrie Underwood at the OnCenter in Syracuse Oct 18th.

Have a great weekend and try to stay dry. 

Back Monday for more laughs and more prizes
