Dave Styles

Dave Styles is named morning host on KOOL-FM (Big 94.5) in Phoenix. He'll be heard weekdays from 6-10am PT beginning August 28. He replaces J.D. Whitfield, who is moving to co-host "The Morning Mess" sister KALV-FM (Live 101.5). Styles currently serves as a fill-in host for co-owned KRTH-FM (K-Earth) in Los Angeles. He previously spent almost two decades with KIIS-FM and KBIG-FM (104.3 MYFM).

"We're excited to welcome Dave to Big 94.5 and have him kick off our mornings each weekday," said Audacy Phoenix Dave Pugh. "With his infectious energy, charisma and passion for delivering top-notch entertainment, we have no doubt he'll thrive in this new role."

"I'm really looking forward to connecting with listeners in the Valley, getting involved with the community and bringing my unique perspective to the mix of the 70s, 80s and 90s," added Styles.

Styles is in his 11th season as the in-stadium host for the Los Angeles Dodgers and recently served as the announcer for the "Wheel of Fortune Live!" tour, taking him to 52 cities in 99 days.
