American General Media Rhythmic CHR “95.7 The Beat” KPAT Orcutt/Santa Maria CA will introduce YEA Networks’ “Tino Cochino Radio” in mornings on Monday, April 1.
PD/afternoon host Jessica Carroll said, “The Central Coast’s was in need of a fun, new, dynamic morning team and The Tino Cochino crew is exactly the team to fill that void! Their long standing reputation of being clever, whitty, and full of energy plus the chemistry between the show members proves this is going to be an incredible move for 95.7 The Beat! We can’t wait to welcome them to the 805!!” Cochino added, “This is such a full circle moment! Santa Maria was a core market for me when I was pursuing my music career way back when! From sold out clubs to full rotation , 95.7 The Beat has always been a supporter. It means the world to have the opportunity to work with AGM California Regional Manager Rich Watson and KPAT/ KBOX PD Jessica Carroll. The team is ready to wake up this awesome city and talk to the 805 every single morning!” Tino Cochino Radio is available for all dayparts via barter by reaching out to Scott@yeanetworks.com or Mikey@tinocochinoradio.com.
With the change morning host Sandy Danger resigned, while co-host Loui Ceron has moved to a production role with the company. Danger also hosted afternoons at sister Regional Mexican “La Ley 100.3” KRQK Lompoc. Ceron joined the station in 2019 after previously working at iHeartMedia’s “Jam’n 95.7” KSSX San Diego.
Note: An earlier version of this story noted that Danger and Ceron had exited the company and Program Director Jessica Carroll was misidentified in the press release received.
