The Dana Cortez Show Goes National


ABC Radio and Skyview Networks announce syndication of The Dana Cortez Show, a fresh, new approach to entertainment programming for CHR, Rhythmic and Hip Hop music formats.

The Dana Cortez Show features an ensemble cast led by one of radio’s rising stars and one of the first Latinas to host a nationally syndicated show. The collaboration is the first result of ABC Radio’s and Skyview Networks’ joint syndication and sales initiative announced April 2018.

“Partnering with ABC Radio and Skyview Networks is the realization of a lifelong dream,” said Cortez. “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.”

The Dana Cortez Show has consistently achieved #1 ranking in-demo in each local market it has performed, most recently in San Antonio and previously in Albuquerque. The show is powered by one of radio’s most dynamic casts including Cortez; DJ Automatic, her executive producer and husband; and comedian Anthony Almanzar, their best friend. For five hours every day the show delivers fresh, relatable content where real life is played out on the radio.

“Dana is a transformational talent whose voice connects with a very broad audience and women in particular,” said Steve Jones, Vice President and General Manager of ABC Radio. “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.”

Cortez is expected to  announce her affiliates on Monday.
