Daniel Rios replaces Jesse De Leon, III as the new host of the “Day Break” Morning Show on KLUX 89.5 Radio. Rios was added to the 6-9 a.m. on-air lineup in September.
When he’s not behind the mic, he’s enjoying his favorite pastime, fishing and kayaking on the bay. Daniel has been entertaining audiences in The Coastal Bend for over 25 years.
His career in radio began in 1996, at the age of 19, at KNCN/C-101, while attending Del Mar College, where he studied Mass Communications in Radio/Television Broadcasting. “Dan” spent the next ten years at C-101, the last 5 of which were spent as Co-Host of “The 2 Guys In The Morning” with Rex & Rios.
Daniel ventured out on his own for the next few years, hosting morning shows with stints at KLTG/The Beach 96.5, KRYK 106.5 The Shark, and 106.5 Bandtango Radio. Daniel also returned briefly to C-101, the station that started it all, once again as Co-Host of “The Two Guys In The Morning” with Rex & Rios (ver 2.0).
Daniel is married to Elizabeth Rios, who is dedicated to enriching our country’s local veterans’ lives, health and wellness in her role as a Registered Dietitian with the Corpus Christi VA Clinic. The Rios family are parishioners of Most Precious Blood Catholic Church. They are blessed with three sons, Aidan, Nathaniel and Noah.
