Cumulus Media Country “Kissin 92.3” KIZN Boise has added Bret Connor to its newly minted “Connor & Chris” morning show alongside Program Director Chris Matthews.
Connor moves to KIZN from mornings at sister Soft AC “Magic 97.9” KQFC and also serves as cluster Production Director. He joined KQFC in 2018 as afternoon host during its former Classic Country format and remained through its flip to Soft AC the following year. A native of Boise, he spent the majority of his career in Salt Lake City with stints as Production Director for Cumulus and morning co-host at Bonneville Classic Rock “103.5 The Arrow” KRSP. Connor is also public address announcer for Boise State University basketball after a long run in the same role for the University of Utah.
Matthews has been with KIZN since October 2019 after previously holding roles as PD/afternoon host for iHeartMedia’s “92.5 The Bull” KBEB Sacramento, APD/MD/morning host at 107.9 KMLE Phoenix, Director of Marketing and Promotions for Cumulus Tucson, and a previous stint in Boise at “104.3 Wow Country” KAWO.
Connor replaces Alana Lynn, who stepped down from her role as APD/MD/morning co-host in December for a position outside of radio.
