Mercedes & JC Held Over In Vegas

• Entercom announced new multiyear contract extensions with Mercedes Martinez and JC Fernandez to continue as hosts of Mercedes in the Morning on Hot AC KMXB (Mix 94.1)/Las Vegas, weekdays from 5-10am PT.

“Mercedes and JC are both integral parts of our station’s programming and do a phenomenal job at setting the tone for our listeners’ days ahead,” said Dan Kearney, SVP/Market Manager, Entercom Las Vegas. “Keeping them in the fold for the foreseeable future was a big priority for us, and we’re delighted to have them continue delivering fun and informative content each and every morning.”

Martinez began her radio journey as an intern in Colorado, but has spent the majority of her career in Las Vegas and has hosted the Mix 94.1 morning show since 1997 — the same year that Fernandez started his radio career at Mix 94.1, serving in a variety of roles before he was upped to Executive Producer of the show in 1998 and fulltime co-host in 2015.

“We are thrilled to continue our radio journey with Mix 94.1 and Entercom,” said Martinez. “I’d like to extend many thanks to [Entercom Chief Programming Officer] Pat Paxton, Dan Kearney, and Mix 94.1 Brand Manager] J. Love for their support.” Fernandez remarked, “It’s a privilege to continue with the station I love, with the people I love, in the city that love.”
