Jeff Garcia is joining “The Woody Show” as Executive Producer. Chuck Dizzle steps up to fill Garcia’s former role at “The Cruz Show.”
What We Know iHeartMedia has named Jeff Garcia as Executive Producer of the nationally syndicated “The Woody Show,” effective immediately. The show airs weekday mornings on Alt 98.7 in Los Angeles. Garcia moves over from REAL 92.3, where he most recently served as EP for PM drive’s “The Cruz Show.” He brings 30 years of Los Angeles radio experience to the role, including time producing “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” at KPWR.
What They Said Garcia expressed enthusiasm for the opportunity. “No one connects with audiences quite like Woody and his team,” he said, “blending entertainment, authenticity and engaging conversation in a way that resonates nationwide.” For his part, Woody kept things candid: “When you get the chance to bring someone of Mr. Garcia’s caliber on board, you don’t overthink it; you do it.”
What Remains Unclear The timeline for Garcia’s full transition into the new role has not been specified. Additionally, no details were released about structural changes at either show beyond the EP assignments.
What It Means This is a lateral move with clear upward momentum for Garcia. Meanwhile, Chuck Dizzle — previously a late-night personality and Associate Producer at “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” on REAL 92.3 — steps into the EP chair at “The Cruz Show.” Both promotions signal confidence in homegrown talent within iHeartMedia Los Angeles.
