• Budget cuts at Riviera Broadcasting Phoenix have unfortunately resulted in the unscheduled departure of Dee Garcia as morning show co-host on Hot AC KMVA (HOT 97.5/103.9), leaving Smasher to fly solo. Garcia had been doing middays on KMVA until January of this year, when Riviera hired market vet Smasher for mornings and upped Garcia to his co-host. She previously worked across the hall doing middays on AC sister KOAI (95.1/94.9 The Oasis) and co-hosting the morning show on Rhythmic sibling KKFR (Power 98.3 & 96.1).
Garcia is ready to discuss her future career options and can be reached at deegarciaradio@gmail.com.
• Nikki Reid has vacated the afternoon drive show on iHeartMedia Top 40 KTBT (92.1 The Beat)/Tulsa, OK. No replacement has been named as of yet by PD Trevor Morini.
Ms. Reid arrived in Tulsa last March, transitioning from middays on Sound Management Hot AC WNDV (U93)/South Bend, IN. Before that she plugged in at NRG Active Rock KFMW (Rock 108)/Waterloo, IA. Reid is now seeking her next opportunity and can be easily accessed at 763-377-0805 or Erika.Lewandowski@gmail.com.
