Matt Bingham

Born and raised in Essexville, MI. I've spent my entire adult life in radio and mostly rock radio. Before coming to Bismarck, I spent nearly 10 years on the radio in Saginaw, MI. I'm a huge sports fan and have absolutely no problem cheering on my Detroit teams wherever I may be...GO TIGERS! I'm also a big fan of drinking beer, which usually goes hand-in-hand with the sports aspect of my life. If you and I have a few beers together, we'll be friends in no time...And I'll probably offend you in some way. I'm also a huge horror movie fan and own an extensive DVD and Blu-Ray collection. Zombies, blood, guts...I dig it all. Thanks for checking out my bio and for listening to 96.5 The Fox!
