Power Fluctuation In Phoenix
Notice of the KKFR’s impending changes were delivered to the staff in a memo from Jeff Trumper, Pres. & CEO of Desert Valley Media Group, which reads, “It is with great sadness that I announce the departure of Dana Cortez, Auto and Anthony, from the POWER morning show, effective Monday, 4/29. DCS began their time here at DVMG almost five years ago. We will miss their professionalism, talent, work ethic, charisma, engagement, humor and client friendliness. Please join me in wishing DCS the very best as DVMG and DCS move in new directions and journeys separately. On behalf of a grateful DVMG staff, I’d like to thank DCS for their support and engagement for these many years.”
For her part, Dana Cortez released a statement that reads, “The Dana Cortez Show has enjoyed entertaining listeners on KKFR/Phoenix since 2019. In recent months, we have been talking with the Desert Valley Media Group President/CEO Jeff Trumper about changes he intends to make to the sound of the station. During these discussions, we determined our energies are best focused on having fun every day on our growing nationally-syndicated radio show! We wish DVMG well and especially want to thank our amazing loyal listeners and advertisers in Phoenix who have been so supportive of our show.”
