“The Dana Cortez Show” joins Mix 96.5 Houston mornings


“The Dana Cortez Show” joins Mix 96.5 Houston KHMX mornings starting next month.

I have learned that current morning host Jessie Watt will be added as the local Houston producer for the new show. Longtime Mix 96.5 host Sarah Pepper left Houston in May.

Beginning November 4, 2024, KHMX will debut the Houston-focused morning show featuring Dana Cortez, DJ Automatic, and Anthony A on weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. The station will also be the flagship for Skyview Networks’ nationally syndicated program.

“The Dana Cortez Show” features candid discussions on various trending topics, relationship advice, and pop culture, delivered with comedy. 

“We are thrilled to welcome ‘The Dana Cortez Show’ to Mix 96.5 and Houston,” said Sarah Frazier, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Houston. “Dana, DJ Automatic and Anthony A bring an incredible energy, humor and relatability that resonates with audiences everywhere. We’re excited for our Houston listeners to experience the unique blend of entertainment and real-life conversations that have made the show a hit nationwide.”

“I’m so excited to wake up and connect with H-Town’s amazing community,” said Cortez. “Sarah Frazier and Melissa Chase are visionaries, and being on the Mix 96.5 team is a perfect fit for our show’s new flagship station.”

In 2018, Cortez became the first Latina to host a syndicated morning drive radio show. 

"The Dana Cortez Show” has established a track record for ratings and revenue generation, consistently outperforming its predecessors.

In January 2023, the show launched its weekend counterpart, “The Dana Cortez Weekend Show.” The show provides listeners exclusive behind-the-scenes access to their favorite stars, whether it’s Dana on the red carpet at The Grammys to interviews with stars and celebrities. Skyview Networks is the syndication partner for “The Dana Cortez Show” and “The Dana Cortez Weekend Show.”
