Movin 93.9 is "The Mix That Makes You Move."

Legendary Los Angeles radio personality Rick Dees will be joining Movin 93.9 as live morning host. Dees was last heard in Los Angeles in 2004 as L.A.'s top-rated host. "The Rick Dees Weekly Top 40" show is syndicated to 125 countries worldwide, with an audience of more than 70 million people.
