"JR is a super talented jock, with a track record of success in Top 40 stations," said Hits 95.7 Program Director John E. Kage. "His social media skills are next level and I'm excited to bring his passion and excitement to Hits 95.7 and the Mile-High City."

"JR is one of the final pieces to the puzzle to level up Hits 95.7," added iHeartMedia Denver Senior VP of Programming JoJo Turnbeaugh. "His passion, content and social media skills are a perfect match to drive home Mile High city listeners."

"I'm excited to be a part of the iHeartMedia Denver team," said JR. "I can't wait to get to work and help build HITS 95.7 into a powerhouse while connecting with the Colorado community. I'm thrilled to call Colorado my new home."
