Roland Campos

Talent booker Roland Campos is NOT a typical radio host. Roland did not grow up a radio guy. Roland had no aspirations to be a host. Yet, what started off as a one-off experiment propelled Roland to hosting 'Roland's Food Court' since 2013, and he's been loving every minute of it. The audience has as well. Roland's vast knowledge of the fine dining, food tasting, and the food industry is what makes his 'food court' an unique treat.

Steve Covino

Rockin’ out with a sweet pomp and earrings since the 90s, this self-centered man baby spends his time scratching his inner hairy man thighs, making penis jokes, rooting for the New York Yankees, and sliding into Instagram girl’s DMs (No creepo).  He’s done everything in radio from cleaning shit off the KROCK station van to hosting some of the biggest events in the world.  In addition to hearing Covino on Covino & Rich, you can hear him shamelessly promoting himself every night on SiriusXM Octane.

Rich Davis

Don’t let his handsome looks fool you, he’s the cheesiest doofus out there. Rich is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, spending his days trying the latest workout trends that 22 year old girls are into, and satisfying his ADD with gambling and trashy TV. Rich also claims to discover things that everyone knows about and his deep thoughts are as shallow as a teaspoon.  Rich can also be heard sweating Taylor Swift on Hits 1 and as the voice of a little millennial boy on Pop2k.
