Tucson Midday Exchange Program

• Lots of movement in the hallways of Cumulus Tucson, as Country KIIM (KiiM 99.5), and Classic Hip-Hop KSZR (97.5 The Vibe) have swapped midday personalities — Bobbi Pereyda (left) unplugs from middays on 97.5 The Vibe and rolls across the hall to take over the same daypart on KiiM 99.5, passing Krystal Pino (right), who will now do middays on 97.5 The Vibe, while moving from full-time to part-time duties with Cumulus Tucson.

Buzz Jackson, PD of KiiM 99.5 and 97.5 The Vibe, said, “I get the best of both worlds! I get to keep Krystal on 97.5 The Vibe and hand the keys to the midday show on KIIM to Bobbi, who has proven herself on the Vibe for the past year.”

Pereyda commented, “As someone who was glued to the radio as a kid, getting the opportunity to be on The Vibe was a blessing and an incredible learning experience that opened a lot of doors. Little did I know that the door would be right across the hall at the biggest radio station in town, KiiM 99.5. I’m excited and grateful that I get to continue my radio career in my hometown with listeners and a team that feels like family.”

Pino remarked, “I’m grateful to be a part of a company that values my show and experience. I’m honored to say I worked for the legendary KiiM FM and made lifelong friends with the listeners. The next chapter begins with 97.5 the Vibe. The Vibe allows me to experience nostalgia with the music I grew up trying to record off the radio and put on my pager. So Tucson — let’s have fun!”
