Mike Bell Takes Middays @ KUZZ/Bakersfield

• The crew at Buck Owens Production Co. Inc. heritage Country KUZZ-AM & FM/Bakersfield, CA is excited to welcome Mike Bell as the station’s new midday host and Production Director. He succeeds Geoff Emery, who retired from full-time middays earlier this year after 20+ years with KUZZ.

Bell arrives bearing nearly 30 years of experience in the Bakersfield market, most recently serving an 18-year run across the street as Director of Programming for iHeartMedia Bakersfield, and he’s also worked in Seattle, Los Angeles and Palm Springs.

“Mike is a voice synonymous with Bakersfield,” says KUZZ PD Brent Michaels. “We are fortunate to have someone with his standing in our market join our staff and entertain listeners every day.” Bell is now in the building and can be congratulated at mbell@buckowens.com.
