MarketInk: Magic 92.5-FM promotes free concert by Frankie J at December Nights

San Diego radio station XHRM-FM Magic 92.5, one of three local radio stations operated by Local Media San Diego, has announced that Platinum-selling artist, actor and San Diego native Frankie J will perform a free concert as the music headliner at 7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 6, at December Nights.

Magic 92.5 is the exclusive radio media partner of December Nights, San Diego’s largest free annual holiday festival held in Balboa Park.

Frankie J attended Southwest High School and developed his talents into a bilingual musical career spanning multiple decades, the radio station said. Highlights include singles “Suga Suga,” “Don’t Wanna Try” and “Obsession (No Es Amor),” a Grammy-Award nomination. He also has collaborated with several English and Spanish artists, including Pitbull, Baby Bash, Cristian Castro and Dulce María.

“Frankie J could not be more a perfect fit for a family event like December Nights,” said Randy “R Dub” Williams, program director and afternoon host at Magic 92.5.

“His multi-cultural San Diego roots and talents are loved by locals and fans of all ages, and he has recorded a holiday album with classics like Jingle Bells, White Christmas and Silent Night. This will be a treat for the December Nights audience and a memorable evening for all.”

December Nights, scheduled for Dec. 5 and 6, will feature holiday lights and décor, international food and drinks and an appearance by Santa Claus. Selected museums in Balboa Park will offer free admission during the event. Information about activities and parking is available here.

LMSD operates three Mexican-licensed FM radio stations in San Diego, including XTRA-FM 91X, XHRM-FM Magic 92.5 and XHTZ-FM Z-90.3.
