Matt Augustine is a reporter for Jacksonville's Morning News.  You'll see him out even before the sun comes up as he spends his early mornings traversing Jacksonville tracking down the latest details on the day's top local stories and breaking news.  He also co-hosts "Over the Line" on Saturdays from 7-8 p.m. with WOKV sports anchor Jay Gray.  He began his work at WOKV in June 2011 as the afternoon drive producer.

Born in Athens, Georgia Matt's family moved to New Hampshire where Matt spent most of his childhood and still retains his passion for New England culture and the Red Sox and Patriots.  After graduating high school, Matt attended Syracuse University in New York, where he was originally rejected from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications but worked hard enough his freshman year to transfer and is now proud to call himself a graduate and a die-hard Orangeman.  He was lucky enough to spend a semester abroad living in Madrid to complement his Spanish minor and though he doesn't get many chances to use it, Matt is just about fluent in Spanish and dreams of one day returning to Spain.

While at Syracuse, Matt was a jock, Promotions Director, Morning Show Director, sports broadcaster, and Programming Director at WJPZ-FM "Z89", a completely student-run radio station serving the greater Syracuse area.  He was hired in July 2010 as a part-time dayside news reporter and sports analyst for Newsradio WSYR.  He has done everything from covering New York's midterm elections to DJing pop music to play-by-play and color commentary to running a radio station with a staff of about 120 students to interviewing musicians, actors, and even politicians like former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.

When Matt is not behind the microphone or out on a story, you might find him catching up on sleep taking in a Jags game at EverBank, playing guitar, visiting friends, finding the best local eats, or relaxing at the beach.
