Tony Cortez is set to return to Cox Media Group, where he will host the morning show at Classic Hits 101.1 KONO-FM. This announcement comes just over a month after he departed from his role at Hot AC “Hits 105.3” KSMG San Antonio.
Cortez will debut on Monday, December 30, stepping into the role vacated by the recent retirement of Music Director and midday host Steve Casanova. With this change, Tory Christopher will transition from the morning show to take over Casanova’s midday slot.
Cortez has spent most of his career in the San Antonio market, working with Top 40 “Mix 96.1” KXXM and Tejano 107.5 KXTN-FM. He spent seven years as Assistant Program Director and afternoon host at Alpha Media’s Top 40 “Energy 94.1.”
He had exited the cluster last month (BMM 11/7). He was hosting mornings with Jenny Lee.
