Prior to moving to KBBT, the show was based at “Kiss 97.3” KKSS Albuquerque and aired there until Univision sold the station to American General Media in 2017. KKSS will now add the show for the 10am-3pm slot. Starting Monday August 20, Alpha Media San Antonio will add The Dana Cortez Show to PM drive on Energy 94.1 (KTFM).

The show is led by a truly dynamic and relatable casts–Dana Cortez leads, alongside her executive producer DJ Automatic and comedian Anthony Almanzar. ?The show will specialize in content relevant to San Antonio listeners, in keeping with Alpha Media’s live & local philosophy. “I am beyond excited. It’s like you open your eyes and it’s like ‘Oh my god, my dreams are still happening,’” Cortez told local outlet My San Antonio. “It’s something I’ve thought about for many years and it’s finally happening.” “?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?,” commented Phil Becker, VP of Content for Alpha Media.
