Tino Looks Both Ways, Crosses Street

• Tino Cochino Radio has a new flagship — and its right across the street from his former flagship — iHeartMedia Top 40 KZZP (104.7 Kiss FM)/Phoenix is the new HQ of Tino Cochino Radio, which will run from 8pm-midnight, starting Monday, Sept. 9. [Fun Fact: Kiss FM is also the flagship station of the Premiere-syndicated Johnjay & Rich].

TCR, hosted by Tino Cochino alongside Raquel Marquez and DJ Nicasio is syndicated by YEA Networks and currently boasts 50+ affiliates, including its newest affiliate, iHeartMedia Urban KRRL (Real 92.3)/Los Angeles. The show was most recently based at Riviera Rhythmic KKFR (Power 98.3/96.1)/Phoenix.

“My dream to have one of the best Top 40 on-air personalities and influencers in the country join our program lineup has come true,” said Mat Mitchell, PD of 104.7 Kiss FM. “Tino, Raquel and Nicasio are among the most driven people I’ve met in the industry and I cannot wait for their new night show to start in Phoenix while they continue to expand their syndication profile. #TinoMoved”

Cochino exclaimed, “It feels like we’ve won the lottery! The hospitality, drive and energy in this building are unmatched. I’ve always been the type to surround myself with those who want to better their best, and that’s the case at iHeartMedia Phoenix. A special thanks to everyone at iHeart for their belief in our Tino Cochino Radio brand and vision for radio. We have a special love for the  Phoenix community.”
