Radio One announced new Program Directors and multiple talent changes at Adult R&B “Majic 94.5” KZMJ Gainesville/Dallas and Hip Hop “97.9 The Beat” KBFB Dallas today.

At KZMJ, Skip Cheatham has been named Program Director. Cheatham has served as Program Director and Executive Producer for Reach Media’s syndicated “DL Hughley Show” since 2013 and will continue in that role as well. He previously spent sixteen years at Service Broadcasting’s “K104” KKDA-FM Dallas including stints as Program Director, morning host and afternoon host. The Program Director role at KZMJ and KBFB had been vacant since the exit of Mark McCray last year.

Veda Loca, who returned to Radio One Dallas in August 2020 to host a Friday and Saturday night show on KZMJ, will add a 12-3pm weekday slot on the station.
Loca spent seventeen years at KBFB, hosting afternoons until moving to mornings from November 2017 until her exit in January 2020.

KBFB has appointed Theodore ‘Big Bink’ Turner as Program Director. Turner, who has been serving as a producer for the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, since January 2020, previously spent eleven years at KBFB with time as Assistant Program Director, Music Director, Mixshow Coordinator, and midday host from 2000 to 2011. He later served as Operations Manager for Radio One’s clusters in Columbus and Indianapolis.

Jazzi Black will return to the station as midday host replacing Dee ‘Lil D’ Porter, who was let go at the end of March. Black previously worked at the station as a co-host on Veda Loca’s morning show. Evening host ‘P Skillz’ Dorsey moves up to afternoons replacing the exiting Jesse Salazar. Weekend host/mixer Jose ‘Hollywood Zay’ Lorenzana is promoted to evening host.
