Wikipedia.com is saying that there is going to be a possible buy out or format change on Z90, is this true.
And if they do change you think the station might go back to a classic rock station just wondering.

If it is on the internets, it must be true; especially Wikipedia.

I don't see where it says that on the XHITZ Wikipedia listing.

I was there when Z90 made the change from a sort-of-classic rock format to urban and they've had a good 20 year run, but in recent years it's been run by old white guys who just do not have the street smarts that made Z90 thrive in its heyday. |

Way to stick it to "the man!" But... You ARE "the man," aren't you? -"Yes, I know..." So, you're sticking it to yourself? -"Maybe..." LOL  |

LOL OK Garrett I've been racking my brain trying to remember what movie that came from... Hilarious, please tell me . Thanks!! It's from a TV commercial. When Z-90 started Victor Diaz brought in various experienced PD's including Rick Thomas (who, to his credit, was very good at doing promotion with no promotion budget) but the station really did not take off until Victor stopped bringing in the same old radio veterans and instead basically turned over to some young folks who had very little radio experience, but knew music and knew what they and their friends wanted to hear. There was zero research, no ARBITRON ratings subscription, no big time morning show (one thing I did was to convince Victor to go "more music in the mornings" and stop trying to find a morning team to compete with Jeff and Jer). But, the station made big profits and for several years really had no competition. Victor always thought it did well because of the his "Street Blimp," the big Z-90 bus, but really it was a case of some kids gone wild on a radio station with no adult supervision. |

Here's the link, you have to do a search with the calls. Another Classic Rock station, puhleeze. Maybe Wille Morrow can pick it up again, oh, is he still around? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=XHITZ+90.3&go=GoClassic Rock? That doesn't make sense unless you read between the lines. Were you there when Steve Wall was PD? He wanted to turn it into a 91X beach folks thing and get some females side 'bennies." That was Victor's baby. He must be rolling over in his grave. He was one awesome employer, he would always bat for you. Unlike others. Maybe Rick will respond. Salud and Happy Labor Day! L |
