WHO'S TALKING ON KRTZ?

Jonathon Steele

Jonathon's entertaining and upbeat style kicks off the workday for folks around the Four Corners Region.  Jonathon has worked in Hot AC and Country formats during his career.  While in Denver, he worked for country powerhouse KYGO.  He also worked as the program director of KXRZ in Alexandria, Minnesota.

Christina Cooper 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
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 Carlisle Cammie Carlisle
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.
