Kobe

SummitMedia today tapped Anthony “Kobe” Fargo for mornings on Hot AC WURV ( 103.7 Your Variety)/Richmond. Kobe will air weekday mornings from 6 to 10am.

Fargo joins SummitMedia from Stephens Media in Rochester, New York, where he served as PD/Digital Content at WZNE (94.1 The Zone).

“My family and I are thrilled for this next chapter in my career. I’m a firm believer in content being the ultimate currency in our industry, and I can’t wait to have the opportunity to wake up RVA ever morning,” said Fargo.

Fargo spent five years with iHeartMedia in Syracuse, where he hosted the number one-rated afternoon drive show and was syndicated on weekends on over 25 iHeart stations nationwide. He also had a stint with Cox Media Group in Jacksonville, Fla., as afternoon personality and program director. Off the air, Fargo has broadcasted from the Grammys, hosted NFL Superbowl parties, started a clothing company and DJ’d events for NBC’s “The Voice.”

“Kobe has a rich and diverse radio background, perfectly matched with our core demo,” said Dave Symonds, OM of SummitMedia Richmond. “Our entire team is already excited to welcome Kobe and all of Richmond is next!”

Fargo leads the weekday lineup followed by “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” and “Afternoons with Jason Paige.”
