Radio One personality J-Kruz of KBFB 97.9 FM the Beat in Dallas recently joined CW Network’s “Eye Opener Morning Show” as the host and co-producer of the new music segment “The Underground.“

The show features urban independent artists from across the country. The program will air weekday mornings in Dallas/Fort Worth, Philadelphia, Miami, Houston, Portland, Myrtle Beach, and Fort Smith, Ark.

According to The Pittsburgh Courier, the 10 year radio veteran hand picks the artists featured on the show each week.  Childish Gambino, Kat Dahlia, and Jon Conner are a few of the artists recently spotlighted.

Making the transition from radio to television has been a great experience and he welcomes the challenge.

“I’m truly grateful to the staff at CW for giving me this opportunity. I know all sides of radio, but television is new to me and they’re allowing me to learn as I go,“ he said.

“We’re very fortunate to have J-Kruz contributing his in-depth knowledge of new and upcoming artists,” said Justin Allen, the executive producer of “Eye Opener.” “The Underground” has quickly become one of the favorites among viewers and our own producers.”

J-Kruz radio career began in Pittsburgh at WAMO 106.7. For the past two years he’s worked at 97.9 the Beat in Dallas weeknights from 7 p.m.–12 a.m. He also produces a weekly segment called “Raising the Bar” where he promotes local emerging artists.  His dynamic personality and popularity in the community keeps him busy hosting events throughout the city. 

The program is a 2 hour syndicated morning news, comedy and variety show that airs weekdays in various cities, he said. It’s a new hip morning show geared to young working adults... it’s not your typical morning show. It covers politics, pop culture, health issues, gossip and more.  “It’s fun and a new approach and the syndication is growing they’ll be adding more cities in the near future,” he continued.
