Skyview Networks' syndicated Dana Cortez, Auto and Anthony exit the KKFR-FM (Power 98.3) morning show in Phoenix, effective Monday, April 29. "The Dana Cortez Show" began their time at the Desert Valley Media Group almost five years ago. KKFR will not replace the show in morning drive as it "works to reimagine" the Power brand.

"We will miss their professionalism, talent, work ethic, charisma, engagement, humor, and client friendliness," wrote President/CEO Jeff Trumper. "Please join me in wishing DCS the very best as DVMG and DCS move in new directions and journey's separately On behalf of a grateful DVMG staff, I'd like to thank DCS for their support and engagement for these many years."

"The Dana Cortez Show has enjoyed entertaining listeners on KKFR/Phoenix since 2019. In recent months, we have been talking with the Desert Valley Media Group President/CEO Jeff Trumper about changes he intends to make to the sound of the station. During these discussions, we determined our energies are best focused on having fun every day on our growing nationally syndicated radio show. We wish DVMG well and especially want to thank our amazing loyal listeners and advertisers in Phoenix who have been so supportive of our show," said Cortez.
