Morning Story: Former Talent Farm syndicated The Cliff & Sharon Show host Cliff Dumas is joining Buck Owens KUZZ/Bakersfield for mornings, succeeding Steve Gradowitz, who retired last December (CAT 11/15/19). Dumas will be joined by current KUZZ midday personality Tanya as incumbent morning host Geoff Emery moves to middays Sept. 8. "Cliff and Tanya will do a great job starting our day, and Geoff will continue entertaining listeners as they work," says PD Brent Michaels. It is a return to the California airwaves for Dumas, who hosted mornings for KSON/San Diego from 2002 through 2011. His career stops also include KRST/Albuquerque, CMT Canada and then-Country CISS/Toronto. Reach Dumas here.
