Jaime ‘Rico’ Rangel is returning to radio in Oxnard/Ventura CA as APD and afternoon host for Cumulus Media AC 95.1 KBBY Ventura.

Best known in the market as part of the “Rico & Mambo” morning show at Gold Coast Broadcasting Rhythmic CHR “Q104.7” KCAQ, he and Daniel ‘Mambo’ Herrejon were teamed together at that station from 1996 to 2005 and again from 2009 to 2020 with a stint inbetween at Cumulus’ “103.3 The Vibe” KVYB Santa Barbara. Rico most recently had been hosting weekends at Cumulus’ KRBE Houston.

Rangel commented, “It’s great to be back and even greater to work closely with someone who believes and trusts me so much – Thank you, Sommer Frisk and Dave Daniels. I am looking forward to giving back to our community. The best is yet to come!”

Cumulus Oxnard/Ventura VP/Market Manager Sommer Frisk stated, “Bringing Rico back to this market and to KBBY is a win on every level. He’s a proven radio pro with deep local roots, a loyal audience, and a genuine connection to the community not to mention he’s an all-around great guy. His energy, authenticity, and local perspective will bring fresh life to KBBY.”
