Meet the Staff

Jim Morgan

Jim Morgan has been a familiar voice on WMBS. Jim is a veteran broadcaster with over 60 years in the business, and about 50 of those at WMBS.  In fact, he is the only current staff member who formerly broadcast from the old fishbowl studios on Fayette Street 

Through the years, he brought to the public what he called, first and foremost, a news and information show.  After stepping down from hosting Morgan in the Morning in November 2016, Jim can now be heard doing news on Sunday mornings while producing our Sunday morning church programming.

Jim knows Western Pennsylvania, because he is a native of this area. Born and raised in McKeesport, Jim has eaten at Isaly’s, flinches when someone says “Kennywood’s open,” gives a wistful grin at the mention of names such as Rosey Rowswell, Harvey Haddix, and “Knish,” doesn’t mind driving in the winter because he knows the snow fills all the potholes, and will fight to his last breath the right to refer to that cold carbonated beverage as “pop.”

Starting his working career dodging spiders and other critters while gathering pipe and fixtures from abandoned buildings for a South Side Pittsburgh scrap dealer, to carrying boxes and pushing hampers filled with clothes through the stockroom at the Joseph Horne store in Brentwood, Jim knew there must be something more satisfying, and he’s found it in radio.

Jim hopes you’ll join him Sundays on WMBS, whether it be on your radio or on the Internet. 

Matt Sapienza

"The Matt Sapienza Show" is very "New York." Which figures. "Matt Sap", as his friends call him,  is a native New Yorker who came to WMBS after stopovers in Long Island, and New York City. "Matt Sap" worked first as a DJ at the age of 17 at the campus radio station while attending Hofstra University. Playing records was not the only thing he did during college, he anchored the news, interviewed celebrities, served as weatherman and traffic reporter, and even served as a movie critic. At the same time, his entertainment career expanded with stand up comedy, performing in such venues as Governor’s Comedy Club and New York’s famous Gotham Comedy Club. However, radio being his first love, Matt headed to New York City in 2020 as a weekend news anchor on the legendary 77 WABC. He also served as the producer for their overnight talk show, “The Other Side of Midnight.” Perhaps the most important element in any Matt Sapienza show is his professionally conscientious study of what most people want to hear. 


When he’s not on the air, he’s on video calls with his friends & family, exercising, cooking, or making memes on the internet. He will also destroy you in Mario Kart. That is not a wild claim, that is a promise.


Tune in to “The Matt Sapienza Show” on WMBS radio from 6 until 10 a.m. weekdays.
