One week later, TONI MARIE joins “THE BULL” as MD/afternoon personality. She recently rejoined KUZZ for weekends following time at iHEART Country KWNR/LAS VEGAS (NET NEWS 7/15). TONI MARIE served as KUZZ MD from 2009-2015.
"We are excited to launch a new Country product that focuses on Country's newest headliners and rising stars," said BUCK OWENS CEO/GM MEL OWENS JR. "Paired with historically successful KUZZ, and our Classic Country KCWR, we can serve every Country listener in BAKERSFIELD with one or more of our stations. It was a difficult decision to move away from the JACK FM format. They were extremely professional partners with us, but we ultimately felt this was the best way to serve BAKERSFIELD's Country music fans." Stream "THE BULL" here.
