Entercom promotes Chris Hernandez to Operations Manager for the company's cluster in Phoenix, overseeing KOOL-FM, KMLE-FM (KMLE Country 107.9) and KALV-FM (LIVE 101.5). He joined LIVE 101.5 in 2007 as an on-air mixer and imaging director, roles he held until 2015 when he became the station's Assistant Program Director and Music Director. His most recent experience with the station includes serving as Brand Manager since 2018.

"Chris Hernandez has consistently shown amazing drive that leads to substantial results and I'm confident in his ability to take our collection of stations to higher levels," said Entercom Phoenix Senior VP and Market Manager Dave Pugh. "Daniel Valentine has proven his extensive music expertise over the years and I'm looking forward to watching his career grow as he leads LIVE's music operations. Both are veterans in our company, and I'm honored to elevate two hard working individuals."

"I am thrilled for the opportunity to oversee our market's collection of such iconic Phoenix radio brands and grow my career in this next chapter," added Hernandez.

Additionally, Daniel Valentine has been elevated to the role of Music Director for LIVE 101.5. He's has served as LIVE 101.5's mix show coordinator and on-air mixer since 2016. Valentine joined Entercom (then CBS Radio Phoenix) as a promotions assistant in 2013.

"I have complete confidence in the team around me as I embark in this new role," said Valentine. "It feels great to know they have the same confidence in me and I couldn't ask for a better group of people to continue learning from."
