Cumulus Media has announced a new lineup at Top 40 93.3 The Q KOBQ Albuquerque.
Leah Black is set to return as co-host for the station’s newly launched morning show. Black will partner with Program Director, Carlos Duran, a 20-year on-air station veteran.
“Wake Up with Carlos D and Leah Black” will air weekdays from 6 to 10 a.m. (MT).
Janae Martinez is also joining the on-air lineup as the host of Afternoon Drive. Martinez previously co-hosted Albuquerque’s top afternoon show alongside Duran.
Jeff Berry, Vice President/Market Manager said, “These additions reflect Cumulus Media’s commitment to delivering fresh, engaging, and high-quality local content to our listeners. Carlos D and Leah Black’s new show brings a dynamic and exciting energy to mornings, while Janae Martinez’s return ensures that our afternoons remain a powerful connection point for Albuquerque. Together, this team represents the very best of Albuquerque radio.”
Leah Black commented, “I’ve known Carlos for decades and have always admired his ability to connect with listeners. Teaming up with him to wake up the Duke City is a true dream. We already know each other so well. I think that creates a natural and entertaining dynamic that listeners will love. Carlos and I share a common desire to laugh and have fun, and we can’t wait to bring everyone along for the ride.”
Janae Martinez said of her new position, “As a proud Burqueña, I’m absolutely over the moon to be back at my favorite station—the one I’ve always called home! This is a full-circle moment that fills me with so much joy and gratitude. There’s nothing like connecting with my community right here in Albuquerque, and it feels amazing to be back where I truly belong. Let’s create new memories together and make afternoons on 93.3 The Q unforgettable!”
