iHeartMedia's KESZ (99.9 KEZ) in Phoenix elevates Andrew Babinski to co-host on the long running "Beth and Friends Morning Show," effective immediately. Babinski has been with iHeartMedia Phoenix for 24 years, where he has most recently served as the Executive Producer for 99.9 KEZ, a title he will retain. He also served as the Executive Producer for 550 KFYI, and Producer for Fox Sports 910. He began his career at iHeartMedia Phoenix and is a graduate of The Academy of Radio & Television Broadcasting.

"I'm so happy to have Andrew as my co-host. This show has a storied history since we debuted in 1990 with 'Beth and Bill' and transitioned to 'Beth and Friends' after Bill Austin's passing in 2010. Andrew is my first co-host since then, and he's the perfect guy to take over such a meaningful role on our team," said "Beth and Friends" host Beth McDonald. "The show is now the best it has been since the Beth and Bill days. I'm looking forward to many years of fun ahead with Andrew."

"He's funny, the listeners and advertisers love him, and he's a pretty darn good employee. 'The Beth and Friends Show' is better with Andrew sitting across from Beth," added 99.9 KEZ Program Director Paul Kelley.

"I am honored and excited to continue working with Beth each morning. She's an absolute legend. I couldn't have found a better home than iHeartRadio and 99.9 KEZ," said Andrew Babinski.
