3 Reasons Why Dana Cortez’s Morning Show Is Such A Big Deal

Dana Cortez is a tremendously entertaining Talent, and ABC Radio and Skyview Networks showed their belief in Dana, DJ Automatic and Anthony Almanzar this month by offering their morning show to a national audience. Skyview Networks President Ken Thiele stated:

“When we started this collaboration with ABC Radio, ‘The Dana Cortez Show‘ is exactly the type of gold we were hoping to find, programs and personality with momentum, on the rise. Congratulations to the show and we welcome them to the family.”

“The Dana Cortez Show” may be new to some, but it was previously heard in San Antonio and Albuquerque. Here are three reasons why you should check out this really entertaining syndicated morning show, if you haven’t already heard it.

Leading Lady
While “The Dana Cortez Show” features an ensemble, Dana is undoubtedly the leader. Having a female lead a morning show is rare, but a nationally-syndicated morning show led by a Latina is a first. This history is not lost on Dana Cortez:

“Partnering with ABC Radio and Skyview Networks is the realization of a lifelong dream. From day one, Steve Jones and his team have championed having a female host as the lead for their morning syndication. It sends a very powerful message and I’m excited to help pave the way. Today’s audience expects authenticity, there are no secrets between us and nothing is off limits. Every morning is brimming with culture and content. Originality is at the core of everything we do! We believe our show is radio reimagined. It’s not what we do, it’s how we do it.”

Squad
Working with your spouse or a friend can cause relationships to go sour, but Dana Cortez is heard with two people who really have her back. Her husband DJ Automatic is the Executive Producer of “The Dana Cortez Show,” and comic Anthony Almanzar is their best friend. Skyview Networks Executive Vice President & General Manager Jeanne-Marie Condo explains:

“When you spend time with Dana, DJ Automatic and Anthony, they just exude pop culture. The show delivers a key demographic, millennials; it’s an area where we plan on excelling for our agencies this upfront season. Custom integrations are very important to our agencies and their clients and ‘The Dana Cortez Show’ adds another dynamic layer of experiences we bring to the table.”

Winning
“The Dana Cortez Show” has reached #1 status with its demo in each local market it has aired. With a proven track record, it will be interesting to see how this newly-syndicated morning show will perform around the country. Steve Jones, Vice President & General Manager of ABC Radio said:

“Dana is a transformational talent whose voice connects with a very broad audience and women in particular. We are extremely proud to syndicate ‘The Dana Cortez Show’ and help Dana, DJ Automatic and Anthony A. entertain more listeners and drive affiliate revenue.”
