The History of the Matt and Jeff Radio Show


The Days before WMTU

Although you may think the Matt & Jeff Radio Show started in the Spring of 1993 there is a much deeper history to the roots of the show.

It all started in the Fall of 1986...


Season 1

The "genesis" of the Matt & Jeff Radio Show evolved from hours of pre-production planning in the Coed Hall Snack Bar.  It was over numerous M&M and double Heath bar Tech Tempests that the original concepts were developed.

The first broadcast ever of the Matt & Jeff Radio Show took place on March 6, 1993.  The temperature in the metropolitan Houghton area that morning was a balmy six degrees...warm for the time of year.

By the time May rolled around, eight shows were in the books.  What started as a fledgling project now was beginning to emerge as a media juggernaut.


Season 2

Following the success of Season 1, the Matt & Jeff Radio Show was ready to expand into the realm of celebrity interviews.  Prime targets for inquiry were none other than Superstar Mike K, Hahn & Herrod, USG President Robert C. McManus and "Moon-Dog."


Seasons 3-5

There was no stopping the Matt & Jeff Radio Show now.  Primed for the fast-lane of success, Matt & Jeff found themselves in one of the hottest time slots, in just their third season.


Post WMTU

What lies ahead for Matt & Jeff?  Most would guess nothing but quality work.
