Skyview Networks’ Syndicated Programs, The Dana Cortez Show, and XYZ with Erik Zachary, Kick Off 2026 in New Markets

(January 5, 2026) – Skyview Networks is proud to announce the growth of its nationally syndicated programs, The Dana Cortez Show and XYZ with Erik Zachary, in new markets today, expanding each show’s footprint heading into the new year. The Dana Cortez Show will be airing middays on KZFM-FM Corpus Christi, TX, while XYZ with Erik Zachary will be airing evenings on Connoisseur Media’s WEZN-FM Metro Fairfield, CT.

Through the addition of KZFM-FM to the Dana Cortez Show affiliate lineup, Dana Cortez and her co-hosts, DJ Automatic and Anthony A., will be bringing their real-life storytelling, engaging humor, and authenticity to new audiences.

“We are excited to join the legendary hip-hop station Z95 in Corpus Christi, home of Selena!” said Dana Cortez. “Gino Flores and his team have always presented great radio, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it.”

With the expansion into evenings on WEZN-FM, XYZ with Erik Zachary is slated to deliver a fresh blend of music, pop culture and offbeat commentary to its new listeners. Through the show’s continued growth and the recent addition of Audrey Dehler as XYZ’s new producer, Erik Zachary and his co-host, Jordan Foster, are well-positioned for a successful year ahead.

“Erik Zachary and his crew are bringing life and excitement to evenings,” said Keith Dakin, SVP of Programming at Connoisseur Media. “We love our partnership with the show and are excited to bring them to STAR 99.9 and the listeners of Connecticut.”

“2026 is going to be a huge year for XYZ,” commented Erik Zachary. “We’re so excited to kick it off by bringing the show to its first Northeast market and connecting with listeners across Connecticut.”

“This collective growth for our programs is an exciting step in continuing to elevate our syndication networks to new listeners and markets,” added Andrew Kalb, EVP, Strategic Business Operations. “We pride ourselves on our ability to offer high-quality content and greater opportunities for our advertising partners to connect with additional audiences.”

About The Dana Cortez Show & The Dana Cortez Weekend Show
