I gotta say, lovin' Dallas a lot. Thanks for checking out the all new i93. My name is John Foxx and you can hang with me every weekday from 3pm - 7pm for all of Today's Hit Music and All Access to your favorite Artists. I'll always keep you connected with tickets to all the hot shows in town and we'll even be jet settin' you outta here all the time with exclusive Flyaways and Meet and Greets with today's biggest stars. So, here's a little about me. I'm an East Coast guy, born in Yonkers and spent pretty much my whole life in NY. I spent a lot of time in Poughkeepsie and then moved up the Thruway to Albany NY. I been doing radio for ten years so it's without a doubt something I love and enjoy a lot. I spent the last 3 Years in Colorado, whole different world from NY but you can't beat the views and the weather is to die for. If you haven't been, you need to go take a little road trip in the Summer months and check it out. I'm actually a pretty big fan of Nascar and can't wait to check out Texas Motor Speedway. I love hangin' and you'll probably see me out and about a lot at the clubs and the cool spots, and I gotta say how cool is McKinney, great strip of cool places. As you can already tell I love music and always need to have music on no matter what I am doing, usually in my free time I'll be jammin' to DMB, John Mayer, and I'm a huge fan of Michale Buble. I love a lot of different music and not just the stuff you hear on i93. I'm really excited to be in town and we are gonna have a blast together. Thanks for listening to i93 and I can't wait to meet you out and about in town.

Melanie Amaro was crowned the winner on Thursday night's finale of The X Factor, netting the show's grand prize of $5 million plus a spot in a Pepsi ad, and RadarOnline.com has video of the songbird's emotional win.
After host Steve Jones announced her as the winner of the show's first season in the states, the 19-year-old Florida native, who was born in the British Virgin Islands, could barely get any words out uttering, "Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God."
Her coach Simon Cowell wasn’t at a loss for words however, telling the crowd, "I want to say, 'America, thank you for giving this girl an opportunity.'"
Amaro defeated Wooster, Ohio soul singer Josh Krajcik (second-place) and Santa Cruz, California rapper Chris Rene (third-place) for the most viewer votes a night after she delivered a star-making rendition of Beyonce's Listen.
Krajcik was a good sport in defeat, saying, "Melanie deserves it. She has a wonderful voice. I had such an incredible experience here. I got to be myself, sing what I want to sing, and I couldn't be happier."

The finale of the British import also included star-studded performances from Justin Bieber, Stevie Wonder, Leona Lewis, Pitbull, Ne-Yo and 50 Cent.
The show's second season airs on Fox next fall with auditions kicking off next month.
