94.9 WQMX

Eric Matthews

Eric’s passion for radio started almost 30 years ago! After college and working other jobs such as teaching Driver’s Education and as an Usher at Blossom Music Center, he joined WQMX’s parent company in 2013.

In his spare time Eric enjoys playing games with family and friends, catching a Guardians or Cavs game, and travelling. His favorite destination is his family’s vacation home in Dolly Parton’s hometown of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee!
Some of his favorite movies include Airplane, The Scream series, and Mrs. Doubtfire. Favorite TV shows include Law & Order:SVU, Frasier, and The Price Is Right (with Bob Barker).
Three fun facts about Eric:
1. He has never broken a bone in his body
2. He has never had a cavity
3. 25 years after his family moved out, he moved back into the home they lived in when Eric was born
Catch Eric (whose idea of a mixed drink is Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke in the same glass) for sports news, weekend plans on Fridays and more weeknights Midnight-5am!
