Matt McAllister has had a pretty painless ride. In 1994, he started answering phones for Star 100.7 in San Diego after finishing college at Denison University and was a part of the morning show within a year. He eventually switched stations as a part of the Dave Smiley Morning Show to Q106 which flipped to a Spanish speaking station as soon as the ratings started coming in.

In 1998, Matt used the opportunity to jump to the legendary rock station 99.9 KTYD in Santa Barbara where he learned how to host his own morning show and provide enough baseline ratings to keep his gig. It was here that Matt also started his family giving birth to Lily (7) and Emma (4) who are now keep him tightly wrapped around his finger.

In April of last year, Matt also started doing freelance work for the Discovery Channel as the host of their “Club 1080.” The on-camera work has taken Matt to the Bahamas, France, and helicopter skiing in British Columbia. Check the TV section of this website to check it out…

On January 7th Matt started a new chapter by accepting a morning job alongside Ben Campbell at the legendary country station KNIX in Phoenix. It has only been a few months, but the two boys appear to be playing nice and the initial ratings are the highest the station has seen in over a year. Keep your fingers crossed…
