Connoisseur Media Hot AC “Star 99.9” WEZN Bridgeport CT and 97.5 WALK-FM Patchouge NY morning hosts Anna Zap and Jay Raven will be nationally syndicated by Compass Media Networks starting in January 2021.
“Anna And Raven” have hosted mornings together at WEZN since 2015. Anna Zap has been part of the morning show at WEZN since 2010 after previously working as a comedian and adjunct professor. Raven joined WEZN in April 2015 after previously spending most of his career in Rock radio with two tours at 106.9 WCCC Hartford from 1995-2001 and then 2005-2014 where he spent time in nights, afternoons and mornings. He also has hosted nights at WAAF Boston and mornings at 103.7 WWRX Providence. The show was expanded to WALK-FM at the start of 2020.
Connoisseur Media and Compass Media Networks today announced a multiyear partnership for the national syndication of The Anna & Raven Morning Show.
This duo has been the dominant, morning-drive show in Connecticut as the foundation for STAR 99.9’s rating success. In early 2020, Connoisseur Media expanded the reach of Anna & Raven, adding the program in the morning on WALK 97.5 FM.
“The response to Anna & Raven in Long Island really confirmed our belief that their sense of humor, benchmarks, and likability are universal,” said Jeff Warshaw, Connoisseur Media CEO, “Anna & Raven have proven they can win in PPM markets, diary markets, and against the best local and national morning drive talent in the country.”
“We are so excited to bring laughs and genuine conversations to your market,” said Anna Zap – The Anna and Raven Show. Added co-host, Jay Raven, “We’re two friends that laugh a lot and enjoy our relationship with the listener, interactive fun is the priority every morning!”
“The time is right for Anna & Raven to go national,” Peter Kosann, Compass Media Networks CEO, said “Stations are hungry for a proven morning show with universal appeal from a marketing partner ready to help them win.”
The show will be delivered in segments so stations can control the music while providing tons of listener interaction. To find out more, contact Nancy Abramson nambramson@compassmedianetworks.com 914-707-9963.
