Christina
Cooper
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 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 Awesome 80s Weekend. And, of course, Kelly presents news
on KRTZ along with sister stations Kiss Country (KISZ), KENN, KVFC and KRWN.. Kelly also
hosts The Drive. 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.
Kelly is the program director and 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 (6) and Noah (3) and
Sombra, the family's cat (15).
Kelly's ideal vacation would be roaming the streets of London and
exploring the English countryside. You
can e-mail Kelly HERE.
Cammie

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

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
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.

last twenty years at stations KQKQ, KEFM, and KGOR. Tony has also
