Another former syndicated host is making the move to Amazon’s Amp app.
Nick Cannon, who most recently hosted “Nick Cannon Radio” for Skyview Networks, will join Amp starting Monday, April 24 to host “The Daily Cannon”. The new show will be co-hosted by former “Hot 93.3” KLIF-FM Dallas morning host Mason Moussette and former “Real 92.3” KRRL Los Angeles host DJ Abby De La Rosa, who is also mother to three of Cannon’s children. The new show will air live Monday-Friday from 9am-12pm eastern/6-9am pacific.
The new show is described as Cannon acting as “a cultural guide, as he headlines each raw and unfiltered show with personally curated new R&B, hip-hop, and pop tracks; the inside scoop on celebrity and culture news; and interviews with today’s hottest artists, newsmakers and Amp creators.” Cannon joins former Westwood One night host Zach Sang and a few other radio personalities on the Amp platform.
Cannon hosted “Nick Cannon Radio” for Skyview Networks from 2019 until the end of 2022, which was heard in mornings on “Power 106” KPWR Los Angeles for most of its run. Cannon previously hosted the weekly “Cannon’s Countdown” for CBS Radio and Citadel Media Networks in the early 2010s and hosted mornings at CHR “92.3 Now” WNOW-FM New York from January 2010 to February 2012.
The Daily Cannon on Amp is an innovative take on radio programs, reimagined for a social-first live audience. With Amp, listeners can call in and chat with Cannon live on the app, creating a real-time connection between himself and his audience.
From his days at Wild ‘N Out to America’s Got Talent and his new Next Superstar Tour 2023, Cannon’s knack for identifying and developing emerging talent makes The Daily Cannon a destination for discovery. Spinning fresh tracks from his favorite emerging artists in R&B, hip-hop, and pop, Cannon will also interview artists who are bubbling up, and showcase rising talent across music, sports, and pop culture, including other creators across Amp. Mason Mousette and Abby De La Rosa bring their chops as on-air personalities and cultural commentators, having both hosted live radio shows in music and entertainment.
“I’m excited to be joining the next generation of live audio entertainment on Amp. Having a place where I can directly connect with listeners five days a week to spotlight the hottest emerging artists, chat about the latest and greatest in music and entertainment, and share real-time announcements in my world and beyond will make The Daily Cannon a show you don’t want to miss,” said host Nick Cannon. “There’s a magical thing that happens when entertainment is unedited and live, and I am excited for our journey ahead.”
Amp is the place where access to music, sports, and entertainment culture is being reshaped, with a variety of live, and interactive programs. As an app where anyone can create their own live shows using just their phone, programs on Amp feature a diverse range of emerging and established hosts across the talent spectrum, including artists Nicki Minaj, Halsey, NBA YoungBoy, Joe Budden; NBA star Draymond Green; and artist, producer, and TV personality Kandi Burruss. It is also the audio home of The Zach Sang Show, who the New York Times has called the “Ryan Seacrest of the Youth,” featuring some of the biggest names in music and entertainment, such as RM of BTS, Sam Smith, Ava Max, and Niall Horan.
