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!
- Congrats to the City of Madison for being named number one in the State as best place to live….and number 9 in the Country. The latest survey from Niche…is based on housing, schools, good for families, crime and safety and more. This survey included more than 230 cities.
- The stork returns and it has nothing to do with a baby, it has to do with a fisherman and a very unlikely friendship. Yeran the stork returns every spring….for a visit and a fish snack. This year’s visit, marks his 14 th year in a row.
- While I’m sure that there have been a lot of great shots during the March Madness games. But none like this. Baileigh, became the first female college basketball player with only one arm to score in a Division III game. It was near the 3 point line and went straight into the basket.
- The South Huntsville “Art Walk and Chalk” is a fun family event happening this Saturday, 10-2, at the South Hsv Public Library. There will be a Chalk Art competition with cash prizes, food trucks, vendors and more. The first 250 attendees will receive free ice cream bars.

Fireball is giving out a lifetime of whiskey….but there’s a catch and it’s Crazy But True.

do is explain why they deserve to win and upload a photo. To sign up go to LifetimeSupplyOfFireball.com 15 people will be chosen early next month to win a lifetime supply Fireball. 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!
