Matt Patrick, who once hosted radio shows at Akron’s WKDD and
Cleveland’s WTAM, announced that he has discontinued his treatments for esophageal
cancer.
He was a patient at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
in Houston, one of the most prestigious cancer-fighting medical facilities in America.
Matt is leaving Houston WTRH, where he began his conservative talk
show in 2011.
His co-host Shara Fryer, a cancer survivor, helped Patrick
get through the morning show as Patrick's wife also stayed in the studio with
him and the rest of the show team as he announced the termination of treatment.
In Akron Matt hosted the “Matt Patrick in the Morning Show” for
three decades. It was rock and roll radio.
In Texas, it was “God, guns and country” aimed at a conservative audience.
In Akron Matt hosted an annual radiothon for
Akron Children's Hospital, which has raised more than $6 million since its
debut in 1999.
Patrick was a recovering alcoholic
