iHeartMedia Los Angeles CHR KIIS FM has announced today that Gabby Diaz will officially take over the Mid-Day slot (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) on the station, effective immediately. In addition, Diaz will continue to anchor her live Afternoon Drive shift (3 p.m. to 7 p.m.) for sister San Francisco CHR KYLD (WiLD 94.9), where she has hosted Afternoon Drive since 2015. Diaz will broadcast live on both stations in both cities daily, Monday through Friday.
Diaz is a Southern California native and has made her way up and down the West Coast during the ten-year span of her radio career, including on-air stints at KHTS (Channel 933) in San Diego and 99.1 KGGI in Riverside. Born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley, Diaz credits her parents with her lifelong passion for music. She recently moved back to the Los Angeles after living in the Bay Area for the last six years.
“I’m so excited to be home,” said Diaz. “To be able to be on the legendary KIIS FM is a dream come true. I’ve listened to KIIS since I was a kid, and having the chance to host daily live shows in two amazing cities at these two remarkable iHeartRadio brands seems unreal. I could not be more humbled or excited. Thank you iHeartMedia for this incredible opportunity.”
“Gabby fits KIIS like a glove,” said John Ivey, President of CHR Programming Strategies for iHeartMedia and Program Director for KIIS FM. “She is from L.A. and loves and understands what KIIS is all about. We are extremely lucky to have Gabby join our stellar KIIS family.”
