Four and a half months after exiting mornings at Local Media San Diego Alternative “91X” XETRA-FM Tijuana/San Diego, Marty Whitney will return to the station to host 6am to 12pm starting Monday, June 16.

Whitney will take back his former timeslot following the departure of Director of Rock Programming Garett Michaels to become General Manager of KSER Everett WA. Michaels had supplanted Whitney following the sale of Variety Hits “100.7 Big-FM” KFBG

This will begin his third full-time stint at XETRA-FM. Whitney first served as Music Director and night host at the station from 2003 to 2006. He would return to host mornings in October 2019 where he was teamed with Danielle Stuht until her departure in October 2023. He has also held roles as midday host at iHeartMedia’s “Alt 98.7” KYSR Los Angeles and night host at Rock 105.3 KIOZ San Diego, Imaging Director for KLLC San Francisco, a producer for Apple Music’s Beats 1, and Program Director at Alternative 100.9 KRZQ Reno and morning host at its later resurrection on 104.1.

Whitney told Happens, which first reported the news earlier this week, “I couldn’t be happier or satisfied to hold on to another small piece of such an important part of San Diego and our beloved FM Industry for a 3RD time! “
