Johnjay & Rich: 20 Years Of Radio Bliss
Based on its powerful local success, The Johnjay & Rich Show — hosted by Arizona Broadcasting Hall of Famers Johnjay Van Es and Rich Berra, alongside Kyle Unfug and Suzette Rodriguez — was propelled into syndication via Premiere Networks in 2014 and is currently enjoyed weekdays on 25 stations across this great land, as well as on iHeartRadio.

“iHeart has been my home for the past 20 years, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to continue to learn, laugh and #LoveUp alongside Rich, Kyle, Suzette and our listeners,” said Johnjay. “I’m living out my childhood dream and I have the biggest audio company in the world to thank for that. I’m humbled by the continued support, guidance and vision of Bob Pittman, Kevin LeGrett, Linda Little, Steve Geofferies, John Ivey and Dennis Clark, and I’m thankful for everyone at iHeart for believing in our show.” Berra commented, “Over the last 20 years, we’ve seen our babies be born and turn into adults, and a few Presidents have come and gone, but our audience has been along for the entire ride. iHeart has been behind us the whole way, pushing us to be our best. I couldn’t be more grateful for our incredibly dedicated team. My face still hurts from laughing at Johnjay more than anyone I’ve ever met.”
“Johnjay and Rich, and the entire show crew, have dedicated themselves to creating must-listen radio every morning for the past 20 years,” said Linda Little, iHeartMedia Region President, Phoenix. “From feeding frontline workers during the pandemic, to giving foster kids life-changing experiences, to finding forever homes for dogs, Johnjay and Rich demonstrate the power of radio every day, and we could not be prouder to celebrate this incredible milestone with them.”
