iHeartMedia is moving Tati from co-hosting mornings at Rhythmic CHR “Jam’n 95.7” KSSX Carlsbad/San Diego to the same position at Hot AC “Star 94.1” KMYI San Diego.
The move of Tati to co-host the rebranded “Jesse and Tati in the Morning” follows Delana Bennett’s move from mornings to APD/afternoons announced yesterday. She joined KSSX following its launch in 2016 to co-host mornings after previously holding the same position at “Z90” XHTZ Tijuana/San Diego and 95.5 WPGC Washington DC. She began her career at KIKI in her native Honolulu in 2006.
Star 94.1 FM, San Diego’s More Music, More Variety Station, announced today the debut of “Jesse and Tati in the Morning,” effective August 26. “Jesse and Tati in the Morning” will broadcast weekdays from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.
The show brings popular San Diego on-air personalities Jesse Lozano and Tati Santiago together as co-hosts. They will bring a fresh new perspective and energy to listeners every morning by discussing the latest celebrity headlines while airing music from top artists including Pink, Maroon 5, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry and Shawn Mendes.
“‘Jesse and Tati in the Morning’ will be an entertaining, San Diego-centric morning show that focuses on relatability, giving listeners a great variety of music to get their day started,” said Joe Haze, Program Director for Star 94.1 FM and Channel 93.3 FM.
Tati began her radio career in Honolulu, Hawaii at KIKI-FM. She then moved to San Diego in 2006 after accepting a position at XHTZ-FM. Her radio career took her to the east coast in 2013 to co-host morning drive at WPGC-FM in Washington, D.C. and after three years, Tati returned to San Diego where she most recently served as morning co-host at JAM’N 95.7.
Jesse is a San Diego native who began his radio career at Channel 93.3 FM as “Boy Toy Jesse.” In 2007, Jesse made the move to Los Angeles as host of afternoon drive at 102.7 KIIS-FM. While maintaining his afternoon drive show at 102.7 KIIS-FM, Jesse came back to San Diego in 2012 where he most recently served as host of “Jesse Lozano in the Morning” at Star 94.1 FM.
“From beginning my radio career in Hawaii to now being able to work mornings with Jesse Lozano on Star is something I could’ve never dreamt up,” said Tati. “I’m excited to interact, laugh and dig the ‘sleepies’ out of my eyes with the San Diego community every morning.”
“I’ve been a fan of Tati’s for a very long time and I feel so lucky to be teaming up with her,” said Jesse. “Adding her brand to Star mornings is an incredible opportunity and our listeners are in for a good time.”
