Christina
Cooper
Christina started like most of us
start, at ground level, as a part-time employee of a
nationally-distributed alternative radio format back in 2003. She
now spends time with you on KRTZ as a pleasant and upbeat
personality. Before radio, she was involved in community theatre
as an actress and a director, and has also sat on the board of
directors for an experimental theatre company.
Kelly
Turner (The Drive, weekdays 4pm-7pm)
Kelly Turner hosts The Drive. Each Saturday evening from 7,
Kelly hosts the Awesome 80s Weekend. And, of course, Kelly presents
weather on KRTZ along with news
on KRTZ and sister stations Kiss Country (KISZ), KENN and KVFC. Kelly started in the radio business when he was 16 as an
overnight DJ (oddly, on KRTZ, when it was a country station).
Kelly has worked for both commercial and public radio. Born in Utah, Kelly loves to return to the redrocks of
southern Utah whenever possible. He enjoys spending time with his
wife, Bethany, his sons, Ethan (7) and Noah (4) and
Sombra, the family's cat (16).
Kelly's ideal vacation would be roaming the streets of London and
exploring the English countryside. You
can e-mail Kelly HERE.
Cammie
Carlisle (weekdays 11pm-4am)
Cammie got her start in radio while attending college in Enid,

radio and TV stations and into the realm of satellite radio
networks. In her spare time, she rocks out with her band,
"Goodbye Sunday". In case that's not enough, she owns her own
promotion company and sets up concert events that benefit charities.
Rashke (weekdays 1pm-4pm)
I
live with my brilliant husband, whom I met on-line. For our first date, he
joined me on the air and we had a blast! I’d rather ride a bike than
drive (to reduce my carbon footprint and my behind from sitting 5 hours a day).
I also like to walk and listen to books on tape. I have the best cat in the
world; Mr. Wilson, who I got at the shelter the day before they were going to
put him down. Finally, I absolutely love “all things volunteer” one of my
favorites is www.soupkitcheninc.com
. Check them out.
Desiree
Burnham (KRTZ's Prize & Promotions Diva)
Desiree has become the intra-office battering ram because of her
intense desire to follow orders and fall in stride-for-stride step with
the real world. Desiree was born in New York and then went
bi-coastal, moving to California. She's married to Jeff (bless
his heart) and has three other boys in da house (bless their
hearts). You can e-mail Desiree HERE.
