Get to know Rico:

Rico is credited with starting Magic 92.5 as an "Old Skool" station. In 1998, Rico realized there was a huge void on the radio dial... “An entire generation of people were being ignored by San Diego radio… the Top 40 and Hip hop stations targeted at people under 18 yrs old and the other music stations on the dial, the soft rock stations… YIKES! Old and boring! Thus in November of 1998, Magic 92.5 was born and the Old Skool, R&B, Funk, Dance and Soul.. the party music we grew up on lived on”. Magic 92.5 had been one of the top rated radio station ever since.

Rico Currently is your midday (10a-2p) DJ on Magic 92.5. “On the air, one thing that always comes through is my love for the music and the listeners. I’m like the guy next door.. that regular neighborhood guy, except I have a zillion records in my garage. I love sharing the music and try to make it fun to listen at work”.
