he handled nights a couple of years ago. It's great to have him back home where I know he will take afternoons to a whole new level here in Las Vegas." Big D also worked in the Vegas market at iHeartMedia's CHR KPLV "93.1 The Party" as APD/MD and afternoon host. He says, "Country radio is something I've grown to love over the last five years.

Travis Moon,
Bree Wagner,
