On a cold fall 2007 school semester Abraham Renteria and Todd James decide to enroll in the radio production class. Although they never talked to each other, Todd being the good student, always in front row asking questions, and Abe being the rebel sitting in the back on those stacked chairs, they would have never guess that there path will cross in the Spring!
While a new school semester (spring 2008) was upon us, yet again Abe and Todd enroll in a pro-tools class. Todd realized his seen Abe before. While both having on air shifts at the world famous Palomar College Radio KKSM 1320am, they decide to try something new, something unheard of.... a talk show! "The Ham and Cheese Show", aired March 28, 2008 from 6pm to 9pm. It quickly became the talk of the college! Everyone enjoyed it from the classic Cheryl Ede interview to chewing gummy bears live on the air (even G.M. Zeb Navarro loved those gummy bears!) it was a instant cult classic! They both decided they need something... a new element!
Abe and Todd posted a bulletin looking for a third person that can contribute to this new creation, but haven't had much luck. On a May night Abe had to do some live show with the up and coming RTV 130 students. On one of those shifts Natalie Saar has signed up. Nat was well know for her sports update's on the "Starting line up" on KKSM. While Nat was doing her live shift Abe brought up the subject of doing a talk show, she seemed interested.... and joined the team.... The Morning Show At Night was born!
In September 2008, tragedy struck as Natalie Saar parted ways with the MSAN. In a statement release by the MSAN crew, "It was a good run while it lasted, even shaq had
to leave the Lakers" - TJ, "We wish her the very best in all her future
work and life" - Abe. Since Natalie's leave, "The Admiral" Josh Foster has been brought in to fill in.
Mouths past since the departure of Natalie, but the show must go on! MS@N was set on world domination and quickly did by talking the airways with guest, odd ball challenges and much more. On March 9th of 2009, Jonnie Clash join the crew for another show. She didn't know what was coming next, as she was made an official MS@N'er!
As of August 17, Jonnie Clash is no longer part of the MS@N line up. "Girls can't handle 3 fat men!"
In October of 2009 2 girls crossed the MS@N, Shasta Ragone and Leena, whom later became a part of the show! Shasta became a on air personality and Leena became a full time MS@N producer.
On December 14, 2009 the MS@N officially retired on KKSM 1320am. Leaving an impact at the station (KKSM) with always changing the show up and have such great guests, they decided to pull the plug to a great show. On that night Abe, Todd, Josh, Shasta and Nat said there final good byes. The questions on are minds are now, Will there be a reunion show? Will the show ever come back?.... Only time will tell.
August 23, 2010, just when you thought it was all over, Abe, Todd and Foster return!

world, i took the midnight train going anywhere... and it took me to
the Morning Show at Night where I found two of the coolest cats on the

football. Everything else is ok too. I've lived in Spain and Maryland,
but I'm a Cali girl thru and thru. Music is pretty much the one thing
in life I care about and I like pretty much all types. When I'm not on
the show, I'm with my family and friends, or working and writing. I
haven't seen hardly any movies because I hate sitting still for that
long. Most importantly I like meeting new people and making them laugh
so feel free to call in, friend us on myspace, whatever. We'd love to
hear from you.
