Hi guys,
I haven’t been on in a long time, but in June I was let go from my gig at KOMP 92.3 in Vegas. I was a line item cut. I made too much money and the station was bleeding money, so Covid tried kill the Radio Star. A 30 year career...
And it almost did.
Until 3 weeks ago. I launched my own radio station.
Kilpop Radio.
It’s not a format
It’s an attitude
We play everything from Metallica, Slipknot, Tool, Korn, NIN, Beastie Boys, new artist like a ring Me the Horizon and Asking Alexandria with nuggets from artists like
The Clash, Sex Pistols, Prodigy and evening some Eminem and Tech Nine.
It’s a music App, free to download and commercial free.
Also 3 weeks ago, the day I launched the app, I suffered from the long haul effects from Covid ( I had in Nov) and almost died from Pnuemonia, Sepsis and a blot clot in my lung.
So Covid tried to kill my career and me as well...
But FUCK YOU RONA!
So if you like music with some teeth to
It, please download my app and listen up.
Support me in telling Rona to
fuck off ??? 😎🤘
I hope everyone is well. This year has been insane!!!
KILPOP RADIO APP is now available in the app stores.
KDHX in St. Louis had a show called "Bob's Scratchy Records" where a guy named Bob Reuter played old 45s and 33s he had collected over the years of old R&B and 50's and 60's rock. He passed away a few years ago. There was another good show called "Fishin With Dynamite" with a dude named Fred Friction. Totally eclectic show.
I'm glad you survived your brush with Covid. People who poo-poo it as a hoax piss me off. I've had friends lose family members in the last year. Really glad you're back on your feet. Podcasting and apps are a tough gig. Hang in there. [Reply]
The guy on the big rock station in my city was fired back in November. He'd been there for years. Lynn Hernandez from 97.5 KMOD. I assume it was for the same reason as your deal.
The station went to shit anyway. They used to play stuff like Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Molly Hatchet, Jimi Hendrix. Stuff like that. A few years ago they had a format change of sorts. They cut out a huge amount of the classic rock and started playing more 90s rock and grunge and stuff. [Reply]

A lot of current rock stations had to
Get more current and cut the classic rock out bc it doesn’t work for the younger demos
You have to let your audience grow old thru you not grow old with your audience 😇 [Reply]
