Benztown will syndicate Nessa (pictured), who hosts afternoon drive on Hot-97/WQHT-FM in New York City. She’s also a host on MTV and MTV2. The new radio show is a five-hour Monday through Friday show produced for CHR, Rhythmic CHR and Urban stations and designed to air in any day part.
The first affiliate to broadcast “Nessa On Air” is CBS Radio’s 99.7 Now/KMVQ-FM in San Francisco, which debuts the program on Monday, June 6, 2016. Nessa was previously on-air at KYLD in San Francisco before signing on at Hot-97 in New York City, so this week’s debut marks a return to Bay Area radio for Nessa. Michael Martin, Senior Vice President, Programming, CBS Radio said: “Nessa is such a superstar! The Bay has missed her but now she’s back and I couldn’t be happier to have her back on 99.7!”
Rick Cummings, President, Radio Division, Emmis Communications said: “From her very first job in radio (Power 106 Los Angeles), we have been huge fans of Nessa. She brings so much to the party… on Hot 97, on Girl Code. Now, she can do the same for your station. Don’t miss the opportunity!”
