Time for a Radio Wake
RECEIVED Tue., Jan. 3, 2006
Dear Editor,
Re: The demise of Z102 (aka 102.3, KPEZ): My radio used to gravitate here, force of habit, and the familiarity of good tunes from the Allman Brothers, the Who, Styx, and others.
I took a sabbatical from this station when the Morning Zoo got replaced with The Big Show.
Then they finally left and I returned to this good ole classic rock station.
Then there was a channel shuffle and it became world-class rock, which started out sort of OK then improved with some playlists and DJ interaction, at least announcing titles and artists.
Now it is ... 102.3 the River, “Positive Music, Safe for the Entire Family."
Somebody needs to hold a wake for this old station. I only hope that KLBJ FM can provide a reasonable alternative to what KPEZ used to be.
