Alpha Media CHR “Energy 95.3” KLLY Bakersfield has promoted Erik Fox to PD/afternoon host.

Fox previously served as Music Director of KLLY and midday host at Rhythmic AC “Groove 99.3” KKBB. He succeeds cluster Operations Manager Danny Palacios as Program Director. His move to afternoons completes a schedule shuffle within the cluster that saw KLLY afternoon host Adlai move to the same slot on KKBB to replace Emilio Martinez. Martinez exited the station during Alpha’s companywide cuts last month. Also at KKBB, Lisa St. Regis moves from nights to middays from her base at iHeartMedia AC “98.1 The Breeze” KISQ San Francisco.

Alpha Media Bakersfield is proud to announce the promotion of Erik Fox to program director for Energy 95.3 (KLLY-FM). 

Erik’s career includes tenures as the highly rated mid-day show host at KKBB-FM in Bakersfield, CA, Music Director for Energy 95.3 and just recently moving to PM drive on Energy 95.3 (KLLY-FM). “I’m very excited to take the reins of such an amazing station such as Energy 95.3. I’m grateful to market manager, Jeremy Price, Phil Becker, Danny P and the entire Alpha Bakersfield staff for this opportunity to continue the growth that we’ve already seen with this station. I look forward to working with this great team to take Bakersfield by storm!” remarked Erik. 

Alpha Media Bakersfield General Manager, Jeremy Price commented on the announcement, “Erik Fox has shown himself to be one of the hardest working individuals in this industry that I have ever worked with. His love for the music marks a huge step up for the station. And in the year that he has been MD for Energy; our ratings have risen to levels not seen on that station for over half a decade. Individuals committed to local radio like Erik are rare and we are blessed to have him on our team and, in this new capacity, are excited to see him continue to dominate in the ratings.”
