Dana Cortez Lands @ KTFM/San Antonio
• Alpha Media Rhythmic Top 40 KTFM (Energy 94.1)/San Antonio becomes the first station to pick up the newly syndicated Dana Cortez Show to afternoon drive. The show, which stars Dana Cortez, Executive Producer (and husband) DJ Automatic and comedian Anthony Almanzar was most recently based across the street at Univision’s KBBT (98.5 The Beat), but went M.I.A. on August 1 for several days before it was announced the show had partnered with ABC Radio and Skyview Networks for national syndication. The show will continue to specialize in content relevant to San Antonio listeners, in keeping with Alpha Media’s live & local philosophy.
Phil Becker, Alpha Media VP of Content, said, “From previously competing against them, we know that listeners in San Antonio are passionate about Dana and Auto. We are thrilled to have them joining the KTFM team.” Lance Hawkins, SVP/Market Manager for Alpha Media San Antonio remarked, “Listeners in San Antonio are already used to engaging with Dana and her team, and we’re thrilled to offer them a new and energized radio home. Along with the recently upgraded signal, the launch of the Dana Cortez Showmarks a new and exciting chapter for Energy 94.1.”
Pat “Grooves” Cerullo, KTFM Content Director commented, “Dana and her team’s skill set are a perfect match for Alpha Media. They have a proven ability to engage with their audience by creating meaningful content across multiple platforms. Dana, Anthony and Auto have already built several years of brand equity in San Antonio, and I’m thrilled to have them on the Energy 94.1 team!” The KTFM afternoon shift was most recently occupied by APD Tony Cortez, who exited last week.
