Major changes are afoot at Emmis Corporation, but fear not, the KGSR Morning Show is returning once more to the Four Seasons for South by Southwest. Brian Beck and Andy Langer will host the program live, with six performances each day. Early birds can attend for $5, which benefits Seton-Shivers cancer services and comes with complimentary breakfast tacos and coffee.
