Alan Cox (radio personality)

Alan Cox did stand-up in college and then started his radio career on the Jonathon Brandmeier show at WLUP/Chicago. He moved to Pittsburgh in 1999, starting as an afternoon drive host. In June 2004, The Alan Cox Radio Show was moved to mornings after WXDX's parent company, Clear Channel, dropped The Howard Stern Show. In Pittsburgh, he was noted for his "sharp wit and attitude." He also regularly appeared on WQED-TV's talk show, Off Q. In 2006, he was replaced by a sports-focused show hosted by Tim Benz as part of a shift in direction at the studio. ==Q101 Chicago==

In August 2006, Cox was hired to return to Chicago for a new morning show at alternative rock station WKQX-F1 (Q101), replacing the outgoing Mancow Muller. His co-anchors were James Engel and Ginger Jordan. The show's writers included Michael McCarthy and Aemelia Scott. The show ran Mondays through Fridays from 5:30 to 10 am, beginning on September 18, 2006. ==100.7 WMMS Cleveland==

In December 2009, Cox began working at WMMS-FM, hosting an comedic afternoon talk show targeted to men 18–34. On December 3, 2012, it was announced that Zumock was no longer with WMMS after crashing his car, leading to an arrest for driving while intoxicated which violated his contract. On May 3, 2013, Cleveland Scene reported that Zumock had been acquitted of the charge. Later, he was joined by Bill Squire and Mary Santora. However, they were both laid off in November 2024 due to company-wide layoffs at IHeartRadio. While at WMMS, Alan was featured in both Talkers and as a cover story for the June 2011 issue of Cleveland Magazine. ==106.7 WDTW Detroit==

On November 5, 2012, Cox announced an agreement between him and WMMS owner iHeartMedia to host mornings at classic rock station WDTW-FM/Detroit. Cox hosted the Detroit show from WMMS through voice-tracking, but also said he would occasionally host both shows from WDTW-FM. ==References==
