KEZR/San Jose Brings Berries Aboard
• Alpha Media Hot AC KEZR (Mix 106.5)/San Jose has inked Bay Area radio pro Shan Berries as its new afternoon personality, starting Monday, Feb. 5.
Shan previously did mornings and middays for Bonneville Top 40 KMVQ (99.7 NOW)/San Francisco until 2019. She also served as entertainment correspondent for various CBS and CW TV shows. During her time away from radio, Shan has dedicated herself to building her successful makeup brand, Shades By Shan, helping single parents in need through her 501(c)(3) MamaBerries Foundation, and raising two children.
KEZR OM/Content Director Bo Matthews, commented, “Shan is a special talent, and we are impressed with what she has accomplished personally and professionally. She’s wildly compelling on air, and online — and a good person. We are excited for what she will provide to Bay Area listeners on Mix 106.5/San Jose.”
Market Manager David Drutz said, “We at Alpha Media and Mix 106.5 are incredibly excited to be able to return Shan to the Bay Area’s airwaves. Shan has a unique gift for connecting with her audience, both on air and online, and it’s going to be tremendously rewarding for Mix 106.5’s audience to bring Shan into their daily listening habits.”
“Stepping back into the world of radio feels like I’m coming home,” said Shan. “The past four years brought forth immense blessings — two little miracles, the adventure of entrepreneurship, and nurturing a thriving cosmetics brand. The universe has a way of working and my love for music and the radio community remains an unbroken thread in my life. Broadcasting is more than a passion; it’s a part of my soul. To my followers who messaged me daily asking when I was going to return to radio, your persistence is the heartbeat behind my return. I owe this journey to you.”
