John DeCandido Out At WXTG

    Former Miami sports host John DeCandido, a.k.a. Johnny D, has been let go by WXTG-FM and WXTG-AM in Norfolk. Due to a change in ownership, the FM station flipped to a musical format while the AM station remained in the same sports format but without local hosts as of July 31.
    DeCandido joined both stations in 2009 as a producer, Saturday midday co-host and Monday evening co-host. He was promoted to the afternoon co-host spot of The 757 Club in June 2010. His show was then moved to the morning shift in early March 2013.
    He began his broadcast career as a morning producer at WGH-AM in Newport News, Virginia and was later elevated to morning host. DeCandido moved down to Miami where he worked as the sports director and midday co-host at 1700 The Fan WAFN-AM from September 1999 until December 2000. He returned back to WGH-AM for a second stint as a weekend sports host.
