AI DJ Coyotec moves into weekday drive time as radio unions warn about synthetic hosts

The Los Angeles Times reports that Coyotec, an AI co-host alongside Geraldine “GeeGee” Guzman on L.A.’s José FM, has moved from a weekly weekend slot to weekday drive time and expanded to other cities. The station says the show sparked a surge in Latino male listeners ages 25 to 54, though it’s unclear whether Guzman, Coyotec or both drove the increase. Radio unions warn synthetic hosts could threaten jobs and listeners’ trust.
