Has anybody noticed the change in the music, less country and more classic rock? What's up with that? I also noticed this morning they added the following:
Manfred Mann's Earth Band
Kansas
Styx
Elton John
The Hollies
Foreigner
Boston
Phil Collins
The Beatles
Queen

They finally realized what they were trying to do, wasn't working, maybe?

Yep, it looks like all Country/Southern/Texas pretense has been dropped and 92.5 is back to being a traditional classic rock station since about 6 AM.

Looked over their playlist this morning and, talk about disjointed and, well, strange. Chris Rea? The guy who sang, "Fool, If You Think It's Over" in 1978? And there's Willie Nelson and plenty of other country scattered in there, but bookended by non-compatible songs like "More Than a Feeling" and "Take the Long Way Home."
With The Bone going 'old' classic rock, as rumored, why doesn't KZPS go MODERN classic rock?
As I said before, someone needs to wake up and realize that the "Lone Star" experiment is a failure. I'm sure Duane and company hoped it would be a new niche format that would explode like Young Country did, meaning it takes off immediately and is peddle-able to the world and CC gets the "patent" for it. Sorry, no go in this corporate-controlled, cookie-cutter industry. Nice thought, though.

Classic rock is good as long as it isn't a playlist which is restricted to the same tracks over and over. Clearly, I'm remembering a time that has come and gone, but I remember when DFW radio was interesting. I thought Lonestar had some potential but it seemed to quickly devolve into something choked out by corporate sensibilities and guidelines. Oh well.  |

This failed experiment was overdue for failure. However, I enjoyed it while it was around. I'm so sick of the same old music.

It was nice when it first started. Unfortunately the "new music" became old music rather quickly. It would be nice to see someone go a week without playing the same song twice.  |

It would be nice to see someone go a week without playing the same song twice. And, depending on what music format you had, that could be done easily enough. I just don't know if it could be done very easily with Classic Rock. With Classic Rock, you'd have to play some pretty deep and/or obscure cuts to go a whole week without repeats. |
