Del Rosso & McDonald Ride Again!

Vinnie Del Rosso is coming home to iHeartMedia AC KESZ (99.9 KEZ)/Phoenix as the new on-air Executive Producer of the Beth and Friends morning show starring Beth McDonald, the longest running morning host in the Phoenix market. The move is literally a radio homecoming for Del Rosso (right), who began his career at KEZ in 2001 and was the Producer for the legendary Beth and Bill morning show until 2010. Del Rosso most recently hosted the morning show on Riviera Broadcasting’s KMVA (Hot 97.5/103.9) until late 2015.

“I’m excited to add Vinnie’s personality and perspective to the Beth and Friends morning show,” said Paul Kelley, Area SVP of Programming for the iHeartMedia Arizona Region. “Vinnie and Beth have a great rapport and he will bring tremendous energy to the show.” McDonald said, “I’m thrilled to have Vinnie back at KEZ with me in the morning. Not only is he a very talented producer, but he’s funny too! He was an integral part of the Beth and Bill Show over the years and was there as it transitioned to Beth and Friends. After a ‘brief’ seven-year break, I’m so happy to have my friend Vinnie’s smiling face back in the studio again!”

No less thrilled and excited about this radio reunion is Del Rosso, who commented, “I’m very excited to be back where it all started for me — here at the legendary KEZ, waking up and working with my friend Beth. It truly is the greatest job in the world and I’m honored to be sharing the morning with Beth and some of the greatest and most loyal listeners again.”
