Forge 103.9 The Beat KBDS BakersfieldChavez Radio Group Hip Hop “Forge 103.9” KBDS Taft/Bakersfield CA has moved the Dana Cortez Show from afternoons to mornings.

Cortez’s show replaces Premiere Networks’ Big Boy’s Neighborhood in mornings at KBDS. Chavez Radio Group made a similar move at their other “Forge” branded station earlier this year when Cortez moved to mornings at “Forge 95.3” KBHH Kernan/Fresno.

Skyview Networks, a leading broadcast technology, syndication and network audio sales solution company, is excited to announce that The Dana Cortez Show is moving to morning drive on Chavez Radio Group’s KBDS, Bakersfield beginning April 18, 2022.

Led by Dana’s strong connection to females, millennials and Latino audiences, The Dana Cortez Show is a proven revenue and ratings driver.

“The Dana Cortez Show has always stepped up to passionately support our global mission, offer ideas to increase our outreach and effectiveness, and bring daily entertaining, uplifting and inspiring content to our listening audiences in Bakersfield and Fresno,” commented Chavez Radio Group’s Program Director, Maria Barquin. “We are extremely proud to have Dana, DJ Automatic and Anthony A on our team and part of the Chavez Radio family.”

The Dana Cortez Show is the first nationally syndicated morning show hosted by a Latina.

Cortez commented, “First Fresno and now Bakersfield! We appreciate the continued support of the Chavez Radio Group and are excited to wake up with our listeners, each and every day, in Bakersfield and across the country.”

In addition to Dana, The Dana Cortez Show includes DJ Automatic, who is her executive producer and husband, and comedian Anthony Almanzar, their best friend.

Dana Cortez was recently named the recipient of a Gracie Award for nationally syndicated radio host.
