iHeartMedia Rhythmic CHR “B95” 94.9 KBOS Fresno has tabbed Angel ‘Visa’ Jarquin as Program Director.
Jarquin joins KBOS from the APD/MD/afternoon host position at sister 102.5 KDON Salinas/Monterey. He began his career at “Wild 94.9” KYLD San Francisco as an intern in 2004 and rose to weekend host before first joining KDON in 2006 as Promotions Director and night host. He left in 2011 to join “99.7 Now” KMVQ San Francisco as a weekend/fill-in host before returning to KDON in 2013.
iHeartMedia announced today that Angel “Visa” Jarquin has been named Program Director for B95, Fresno’s Home For Hip Hop And Hits, effective immediately. iHeartMedia Fresno has a strong cross-platform presence and includes a number of iconic brands and franchises — both broadcast and digital — encompassing more than eight stations comprised of music, talk and news formats.
iHeartMedia has the leading consumer reach and influence across multiple platforms and delivers more live programming than any other media company. As Program Director, Visa will be responsible for overseeing the programming content and station branding for B95. He will report to Tony Matteo, Senior Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia Central California and Nevada.
“Angel’s incredible track record of success and his experience in the format make him an ideal fit to spearhead this market-leading brand in Fresno,” said Tony Matteo. “We’re excited to bring his energy to the B95 team.”
Before joining iHeartMedia Fresno in October 2019, Visa served as assistant program director and afternoon host for iHeartMedia Monterey’s 102.5 KDON. He began his career with iHeartMedia as an intern in San Francisco.
“I’ve always had the mentality that if you work hard and put your mind to something you can achieve anything,” said Visa. “I am beyond excited to be the new Program Director for the legendary KBOS. KBOS has a successful winning track record year after year and I can’t wait to take things to the next level. I want to thank iHeartMedia for this amazing opportunity – it is go time.”
