Power 96/Miami Adds Gomez, Re-Adds Chopz
• Audacy announced a new weekday on-air lineup for WPOW (Power 96)/Miami that includes the addition of two new pros — popular Miami TV news anchor/reporter Johanna Gomez as midday host, and the return of KC Chopz as lead mix show DJ and on-air talent.
Recently named “Best TV News Anchor” by the Miami New Times, Gomez (left) is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, television personality, and voice-over talent. “Johanna has a rich history covering major local stories and events in the Miami area and is a perfect addition to our lineup in middays,” said Will Calder, Brand Manager of Power 96. “Additionally, Power 96’s listeners have expressed their longing for our mix shows, and we are excited to announce the return of KC Chopz as our head mixer.”
“I’m thrilled to join a group of talented broadcasters and to be part of the legacy Power 96 has created,” said Gomez. “This opportunity will allow me to bring my television and radio experience and background to the loyal fan base of listeners in South Florida while enhancing a leader in the market of the best music and entertainment.”
KC Chopz (right) formerly worked at Power 96 from 2007 to 2016, rising up the ranks under 305 legend DJ Laz. More recently, KC Chopz has built his name and brand into a staple in the Miami market, DJing at the city’s biggest nightclubs and parties and hosting his popular podcast, Miami on the Rocks. In a bit of brand extension, Chopz will host a new mix show called Miami on the Rocks Happy Hour on Power 96 weeknights from 7-8pm ET. “Radio is a part of me, and Power 96 is in my DNA,” said KC Chopz. “Excited is an understatement.”
• Here is the new Power 96 weekday lineup — 6-10am: Wake Up Miami with DJ Zog & Ivy Unleashed; 10am-2pm: Johanna Gomez; 2-7pm: Mijo; 7-8pm: Miami on the Rocks Happy Hour with KC Chopz; 8-11pm: Bru.
