KSE Radio has announced the departure of longtime Denver broadcaster Dominic "Dom" Testa from classic hits station KXKL-FM (KOOL 105), where he co-hosted the morning show.
Testa, a veteran with more than 33 years in Denver morning radio, ends a roughly year-and-a-half stint at KOOL 105 that followed his high-profile move to the station in late 2024. His exit leaves co-host Melissa Moore to continue solo on the weekday 6-10 a.m. MT slot.
Joel Clary, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Radio for KSE, expressed appreciation for Testa's tenure. "We are deeply grateful for Dom Testa's contributions and the energy he brought to our airwaves," Clary said. He highlighted Testa's professionalism and strong audience connections, while wishing him success in future endeavors.
Testa joined KOOL 105 in October 2024 after nearly 32 years hosting mornings at KIMN (Mix 100), where he built a loyal following as a Denver radio staple. Paired with Moore (who moved over from KOSI 101), the duo launched "Dom in the Morning with Melissa Moore" as part of KSE's efforts to refresh its classic hits lineup with established local personalities.
No immediate details have been released about Testa's next steps or plans for replacing him on the KOOL 105 morning show. The change reflects broader trends in radio toward prioritizing in-market, community-connected on-air talent amid evolving listener and advertising demands.
