Pillar Media has announced a pair of promotions to Program Director at their Denver operations.
Morning host ‘Tony V’ Valdez rises to PD of Christian Hip Hop “Flo 107.1” KFCO Bennett. Valdez originally joined the station under its former Classic Hip Hop format in 2022 and remained following the sale to Pillar and flip earlier this year.
Valdez has spent his entire career in Denver radio. After a brief stint at then R&B 1510 KDKO, the Denver native joined then Rhythmic CHR “KS 104.3” as late night host in November 1994. He would move to middays in 1999 and stay there until 2016 followed by a brief run in afternoons. He moved to mornings in May 2017 alongside ‘DJ Chonz’ and “Ya Girl Cedes’. He then hosted mornings solo from January 2018 until his departure from KQKS in May 2022. Valdez also spent time at Country 98.5 KYGO as overnight and then afternoon host between 2013 and 2015.
Valdez said, “Through positive music, we unite the Denver community with faith, love and optimism. I am honored to be a part of building a culture that is driven by God’s love. I look forward to my journey with Pillar Media while uplifting hearts and inspiring souls.”
Becky Ross rises to PD of Christian 910 KPOF/102.7 K274DF Denver. She has been with KPOF since 2002 and also hosts afternoons. She commented, “It is such a privilege to continue the legacy of Christian broadcasting at KPOF, which has faithfully served the Denver Metro area for 96 years. It’s incredible to watch God work through Pillar Media in our uplifting ministry in media.”
Pllar Media Brand Director Matt Stockman commented, ““Both Becky and Tony step into their programming roles with a wealth of experience in their respective formats, and a deep understanding of the Denver community. Both are the right person to take their stations to a new level of impact!”
Pillar Media also operates Christian AC “Star 101.5” KSRC Watkins in the Denver market.
