• American General Media Hot AC KKRG (Mix 105.1)/Albuquerque welcomes veteran programmer/personality Tony Tecate aboard for afternoons. The move reunites Mix 105.1 PD Randy Fox and Tecate (left), both longtime veterans of KSFM/Sacramento — Fox spent 16 years with CBS Radio Sacramento and programmed KSFM until most of the staff exited in April 2018. He joined AGM Albuquerque in July 2018. Tecate famously did three tours of duty with KSFM and was APD/MD and morning personality there until April 2018. He has also worked in Honolulu, Boise, ID, Fresno, Bakersfield and Los Angeles.

Fox, who also programs Rhythmic sister KKSS (Kiss 97.3), commented, “Tony Tecate, with his extensive experience and diverse background is a great match and a terrific addition to our team.”

• Beasley Media Group Country WKXC (Kicks 99)/Augusta, GA welcomes Sean Varicalli (right) aboard as the new host of the KICKS Wake up Crew. He will officially begin his position on Monday, January 14.

Varicalli was most recently APD and midday personality on Curtis Media Country WQDR/Raleigh. Before that he did afternoons on WJIM/Lansing, MI, and he produced the Bobby and Stacey morning show at WOMC/Detroit.

“We are thrilled to have Sean join the KICKS Wake up Crew alongside Jenny and Dub in Augusta,” said Tee Gentry, Operations Manager of Beasley Media Group Augusta. “His love for Country music and passion for radio made him the perfect fit for KICKS 99.”
