"Chuey’s energy and natural charisma make him the perfect choice to host this time slot on KIIS FM," said John Ivey, CCME VP of CHR Programming & PD of KIIS FM. "His genuine love for music and the station is really infectious, and we know he will build a distinct, passionate and loyal audience right away. We are happy to have him as part of our full-time line up."

"I’m so grateful and excited to have people like John Ivey and Julie Pilat support me in my radio career," said Martinez.  "It’s a true honor to be a part of the station that I grew up listening to and I’m excited to take over the late night slot as a full timer."
