Drivetime Difference At KS107.5

• Entercom Rhythmic KQKS (KS1075)/Denver has assembled a brand new morning show, using a scientifically formulated combination of both current and previous employees — say hello to The All New KS 1075 Morning Show starring Tony, Cedes and Chonz, which launched yesterday. The magic happened when 20-year KS107.5 vet Tony V transitioned from afternoon drive and was joined by a couple of very familiar names — Mercedes “Ya Girl Cedes” Howard and DJ Chonz. For the past year Ms. Howard has done middays on iHeartMedia Rhythmic KSSX (Jam’n 95.7) in her hometown of San Diego, but before that she spent five years in nights on KS107.5. DJ Chonz is a 14-year station vet who did afternoon drive prior to Tony V.

Entercom Denver VP/Market Manger Amy Griesheimer said, “To have the opportunity to bring three dynamic and charismatic top talents together who have been part of the fabric of the Denver community was an amazing opportunity. I’m thrilled to have them as part of the Entercom family! KS1075 will continue to be a force in morning radio in Denver.” Entercom Denver VP of Programming Mike Peterson commented, “This is a great day for KS1075! Tony, Cedes and Chonz are the perfect blend of talent to lead KS for many years to come.”

KS107.5 PD Victor Starr said, “We are incredibly excited to put together a new, dynamic morning show that is instantly recognizable to our millennial listeners here in the Mile High City. Tony, Cedes and Chonz have instant chemistry on the air and are already ingrained in the Denver community. We are looking forward to reestablishing the station’s dominance in morning drive with this team!” This newly minted morning trio succeeds Larry Ulibarri and Kathy J, who exited in late March after 17 years. Their former co-host Kendall B., also a 17-year vet, left the station in January.

• Concurrent with the debut of the new morning show, longtime KS107.5 APD/MD and fill-in personality Michael “Big Mic” Buhrman has permanently assumed the station’s afternoon drive throne. Buhrman has been with KQKS for the past 16 years, starting as an eager 15-year-old intern. He was awarded APD/MD stripes in 2014 and also programs sister Comedy 103.1. PD Victor Starr commented, “Big Mic lives, eats, eats and breathes KS 1075. His commitment to the success of this station for the past 16 years has been incredible. With his high profile presence in the market and on the music scene in Denver, he will be a star in afternoon drive!”
