The Dana Cortez Show, through its syndication partner, Skyview Networks, announced today the launch of its weekend show, The Dana Cortez Weekend Show. The wildly popular program, hosted by Dana Cortez, DJ Automatic, and Anthony A., successfully debuted the weekend show on Audacy’s KHMX-FM Houston earlier this year. Since then, the weekend show has further developed its footprint into additional markets, including KBBT-FM San Antonio, TX, KCRS-FM Odessa–Midland, TX and beginning June 3rd, KKFR-FM Phoenix, AZ. This expansion into weekends comes from the exceptional growth of its weekday show and will be available in multiple formats.
“We are thrilled to have Dana Cortez back on the airways in Houston!” said Melissa Chase, Vice President, Programming of Audacy Houston. “Dana, Automatic and Anthony are captivating in content and audience relatability, and we are so excited to have them join Mix 96.5 weekends!”
J Steele, Program Director at KKFR-FM Phoenix, also spoke to the addition of The Dana Cortez Weekend Show, stating, “The Dana Cortez Show already captivates the audience each weekday morning on KKFR. We had a spot open on Saturday mornings to give the audience compelling content and the obvious choice was to give more of The Dana Cortez Show to The Valley! Whether you’re in a PPM or diary market, the quick and entertaining breaks are exactly what you need on the weekends.”
In addition to the launch of The Dana Cortez Weekend Show comes affiliate growth for The Dana Cortez Show in new markets, including KLHB-FM Corpus Christi, TX and KEAZ-FM Kensett, AR. The show continues to showcase its authenticity with real-life drama, listener interaction, and celebrity interviews, including a recent conversation with John Leguizamo following his role as guest host on The Daily Show.
“I’m excited to be launching The Dana Cortez Weekend Show in markets that have each played such a significant role in my radio career and where listeners have shown us love since day one,” commented host, Dana Cortez. “The Program Directors at each station are so talented and it feels surreal to be working alongside them. Together, we’ve curated a unique brand that connects with audiences every single day through authenticity, while highlighting realness, culture and relationships that everyone can relate to.”
The Dana Cortez Weekend Show is now available Saturday or Sunday, delivered via FTP segments allowing stations to program their own music seamlessly, and The Dana Cortez Show is available Monday through Friday in mornings, middays or afternoons on CHR, Hot AC, Rhythmic and Hip-Hop stations.
