Mornings 5:30 to 9AM

Mix 104.9, WBXX welcomes Bob & Sheri to Battle Creek! You can hear them every weekday morning from 5:30am to 9:00am.

Today’s radio audience wants compelling content that is genuine, not forced. As equal partners, Bob Lacey and Sheri Lynch have a dialog with each other and the listeners every morning. It’s like going to a party with your close friends and discussing a range of topics including relationships, children, pop culture and show business. Bob & Sheri is improvisational humor at its finest. They live their lives on the air, weaving their lives and current events into a morning show that quickly becomes a daily habit. With celebrity guests, lots of telephone interaction and a few of the best Mix 104-9 songs each hour, you have the makings of Battle Creek’s next great morning show!

Bob & Sheri are sometimes risqué, occasionally controversial, but always funny – and for the first time, a female personality is showcased as more than just a submissive giggle-chick sidekick.  Bob & Sheri are heard on more than 50 affiliates across the U.S. They have been nominated for four times for Billboard’s Air Personality of the Year. They also have been nominated seven times for radio’s most prestigious honor – The N.A.B. Marconi Award

Nathan has been with Battle Creek Radio since August of 2000, where he began as an intern while learning the trade at Kellogg Community College. Nate planned to go to other places to study meteorology (and take Dennis Hodges job), but he stayed put and made radio his full time gig. Growing up in the Cereal City for a majority of his life, he graduated from Gull Lake High School before earning three Associates Degrees from KCC.

Nathan has been known as "The Sports Guy" around the station, because his knowledge of anything in the wide world of sports would be talked about sometime during the day.

Outside of the station, Nathan enjoys playing any sport possible, and dabble in the studio with music. He also does play-by-play for the local cable access outlet, and is currently the Public Address Announcer for Western Michigan University Hockey. After all is said and done, he spends the rest of his time with his son, Austin.
