KISS Content Director, Rebecca Frank said “Anton is the perfect person to take our signature weekend party vibes to the next level across the KISS Network. He knows how to read the radio crowd so well, and the KISS team are already huge fans and friends of his. We can’t wait to welcome him properly to the squad”.

Anton Powers said “I’m an obsessive listener of KISS & KISSTORY, always have been. I love what the station does & what it represents, so to now be part of the family is a long-standing dream coming to fruition. I’m very thankful & honoured to be joining the amazing team and I cannot wait to broadcast to the amazing KISS listeners every week playing the biggest & best new dance music as well as cramming in those current bangers & some sneaky KISSTORY gems too. To say I’m excited is an understatement, I am literally bursting to get going!”
