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 Cullman Regional Medical Center! Helping you get better by being better every day!
The tragic wildfires in and around L.A. have also inspired a whole lot of kindness. Here are just a few of the stories we’ve seen.
-
A guy pranked his grandmother with a fake lottery ticket. But she’s not complaining…because she scratched it off and found out she was getting the great-grandchild she
has been begging for. -
Then we have A 55-year-old guy who just donated his kidney to someone he didn’t even know. Andy did this random act of kindness three years after his daughter Sarah lost her own battle with kidney disease when she was just eight.
-
A woman who found a voice recorded love letter hidden in a vintage jazz album she found at a Goodwill. It was from an air force veteran to his wife. Angelina is now on a mission to reunite the precious find with the family it belongs to.

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!
