Dana is a powerhouse talent with deep roots in the Valley, and it feels great to have her home. Her connection with our audience, her authenticity, and the energy she brings are unmatched. We’re excited to have Dana and the entire show back on Power, delivering the kind of compelling, entertaining, and real content our listeners love.”
“We’re so excited to be back on in Phoenix working with Michael, J Steele and the whole Power team!” said Dana Cortez. “We can’t wait to reconnect with our listeners in the Valley and entertain them with interviews, real conversations and of course, their favorite, Down in the DM (if you know, you know!).”
