SMOOTH JAZZ RETURNS TO DENVER: K-HIGH 101.9 (KKHI-FM)

Bustos Media has switched the format of Regional Mexican KDGQ-FM/Denver to Smooth Jazz KKHI-FM. KKHI-FM will be known as as "K-High 101.9" using Broadcast Architecture's Smooth Jazz Network with local talents Kenny Cortes in mornings and Steve Hamilton in middays. Smooth Jazz Network's Dave Koz will air in afternoons and Maria Lopez will handle nights. Also joining KKHI-FM as VP/General Manager is market vet Chuck Lontine.

Kenny Cortes was formally with Lincoln Financial's cross-town station KJCD-FM (Smooth Jazz 104) where he woke up Denver listeners for over 8 years; and Steve Hamilton was formally with Entercom's crosstwon KOSI-FM in during middays.

Bustos Media CEO Amador Bustos commented, " We will put our improved 101.9 FM signal to its best and highest use, by filling an evident music vacuum in the Denver metro, with the outstanding Smooth Jazz format produced by Broadcast Architecture in combination of some outstanding local talent."

This is great news for the Denver metro area since listeners have been without a smooth jazz station since earlier in the year.
