WHO'S TALKING ON KRTZ?

Christina Cooper Christina Cooper (M-F 1pm - 6pm)
Christina Cooper hangs out with you in the evenings, playing Today's Hits and Yesterday's Favorites.  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 evenings 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 Kelly Turner (The Drive/News/Weather/Saturdays 7pm - 9pm)
Kelly Turner has the unique position of being heard at all hours of the day on KRTZ.  He's the one upon whom the entire Four Corners area relies when it comes to updated weather and news information.  It's on Saturday nights, though, when Kelly lets his hair down...what there is of it, anyway.  Each Saturday evening at 7, Kelly hosts the 70s at 7 followed by the 80s @ 8 which comes on at...well, you figure it out.  And, of course, Kelly is KRTZ's daily newscaster.  Kelly also hosts The Drive, the weekday afternoon show (4-6pm) that wraps up your workday and takes you home.  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 at stations such as KSJE-FM, KENN-AM and KRWN-FM in Farmington.  Kelly is the program director and station & operations manager.  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 (5) and Noah (2)  and Sombra, the family's cat (13).  Kelly's ideal vacation would be roaming the streets of London and exploring the English countryside.  You can e-mail Kelly HERE.

Cammie Carlisle Cammie Carlisle (various times)
Cammie got her start in radio while attending college in Enid, Oklahoma.  Her career has taken her into traffic reporting for 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.

Desiree 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.

TimThompson Tim Thompson (M-F 5am-9am)
Tim is a 20-year veteran of radio.  He got his start at an urban station (KBWH) in the mid-1980s and moved on to AC formats and several others in various roles, including traffic reporting.  He's also managed to further his education through the whole career thing.  He believes this will help him diversify his talents into television.  Tim enjoys camping and fishing with his family.

Tony Wike Tony Wike (various times)
Tony Wike spent the last quarter-century having fun on the radio, and he's not ready to slow down yet.  His career has taken him to the morning show in his native Charlotte, North Carolina along with Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina and Omaha, Nebraska where he spent the last twenty years at stations KQKQ, KEFM, and KGOR.  Tony has also done satellite radio programming and voice-overs for nationally distributed commercials.  He's no stranger to TV either, providing voices for cartoon characters, and narrating "Class of 95" for Country Music Television.
