Radio One has announced that its two CHRs have added Tino Cochino Radio for afternoons starting today.
“Radio Now 100.9” WNOW-FM Speedway/Indianapolis will air Tino Cochino from 3-7pm, while the show will air on “Radio Now 92.1” KROI Seabrook/Houston from 2-6pm. In Indianapolis the show takes the place of former Top 40 Format Director Dustin Kross, while in Houston ‘On-Air Laura’ moves to middays. Both stations lost multiple staffers in last week’s cut-backs.
The addition of the YEA Networks program follows the addition of YEA’s Kidd Kraddick morning show last month.
Radio Now 100.9-FM WNOU and Radio Now 92.1-FM KROI announces a new Afternoon Show for listeners in Indianapolis and Houston. Tino Cochino Radio will debut today on Radio Now 100.9 and Radio Now 92.1.
Tino Cochino is joined by Raquel, DJ Nicasio and their producer Ronnie Ranson for the show. The addition of these two new stations brings them to 50 affiliates including eight Top 25 markets.
In making the announcement, Deon Levingston, General Manager/VP of Radio One Indianapolis, offered, “We think the vibe of this new show will really resonate in Indianapolis and Houston.”
“The excitement and energy Tino Cochino brings to radio is just what you want to hear in the afternoon” said General Manager/VP of Radio One Houston, Pam McKay.
Shawn Nunn, President of YEA Networks added, “We’re excited about bringing another YEA Networks show to Radio One. Paired with The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show, listeners in Houston and Indy will have two drive-time shows with great personalities, content, promotions, celebrity news and chats. It’s a 1-2 punch for any Top 40 station today.”
Tino Cochino Radio can be heard weekdays on 100.9 FM WNOU from 3pm – 7pm and on 92.1 FM KROI from 2pm – 6pm.
