CHR KEGY-FM (Energy 103.7) San Diego welcomes Tonya Gonzalez and Sean "Sonic" Leckie as co-hosts of the new "Tonya and Sonic" morning show, weekdays from 6-10am. Gonzalez began her radio career in 2007 at crosstown rival KHTS-FM where she worked as an intern, moving up the ranks of promotions and programming, including working alongside AJ Machado as co-host for 10 years. After helping launch WWPW-FM (Power 96.1) Atlanta as afternoon host, Sonic returned to San Diego and previously served in Energy 103.7 afternoons.

"I am beyond thrilled to officially kick off something new, something local, something fresh for our listeners here in San Diego with my partner Sonic who I have worked with in many ways in these past 10 years. His fire, his heart and determination is contagious and makes me excited to begin this journey with him. I've been one of Energy 103.7's biggest cheerleaders since the beginning and I'm so grateful for this opportunity to do real radio every morning here in my hometown," said Gonzalez.

"There's no mistaking the drive and passion Tonya and Sonic have for winning. Their chemistry together is undeniable and they know this city and the Energy listeners. We're excited to bring everyone along for the ride." added KEGY Program Director Chris Patyk.
