Audacy Hip Hop “KS 107.5” KQKS-FM Lakewood/Denver CO and 102.5 KSFM Sacramento have added Skyview Networks’ Dana Cortez Show for mornings.
Cortez’s show entered syndication in 2018 after stints in mornings at “Kiss 97.3” KKSS Albuquerque and “98.5 The Beat” KBBT San Antonio. The show also features her husband/producer DJ Automatic and comedian Anthony Almanzar.
With the addition of Cortez in mornings at KQKS, APD/MD Toshamakia Acevedo moves back to afternoons after a little over a year in mornings. The Atlanta based Jarard J moves from afternoons to middays.
