"The South Shore's
Morning News"
with Rob Hakala
Weekdays 5-9am
Simply put, it's everything you need
to get
going in the morning!
It's a daily dose of News, Weather,
Traffic, Business
and Sports...
Rob
has had a passion for radio ever since he received his
first radio and microphone at the age of 12.
Not
long after that, he was "broadcasting" to
family and friends on his pretend radio station. Although
Rob enjoyed this, it soon became awkward at family functions.
Years
later, he wound up broadcasting for "real"
at Curry College's 91.5 WMLN-FM in Milton. In 1996,
Rob graduated magna cum laude from Curry with a degree
in Communications. Soon after, he ended up at 95.9 WATD
for his first stint as news reporter and afternoon anchor.
Rob
left 95.9 WATD to work full-time for Shadow Traffic
in Boston, but the South Shore called him back. He returned
to 95.9 WATD in November, 2000 to host a brand new program
called "The South Shore's Morning News." The
program was designed and created by Rob and former WATD
News Director Aaron Katersky.
