San Antonio– April 5, 2010 – The New “X106-7 World Class Rock” makes its debut today in San Antonio, Texas and will feature the best rock music from the past 40 years and today. The new Rock format replaces the previous News/Talk format. Superstar artists such as U2, The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Eric Clapton, Kings of Leon, Bruce Springsteen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Police, Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, Bob Seger, REM, Boston, Talking Heads, and Bob Marley will be featured among many others.
The station kicks-off with 10,000 songs COMMERCIAL FREE.
“In San Antonio we now have a home for these great artists that our own 99.5 KISS Radio made famous,” Cox Media Group Market Manager/VP Programming Virgil Thompson said. “KISS originally played these superstars and made them familiar. The New X106-7 is for the discriminating rock fan that appreciates quality music, loves the great classics, but also has a passion for the music of today. World Class Rock means quality rock music presented in an intelligent manner without silly pop songs or rock that’s too heavy. We think a lot of people will discover a new favorite radio station when they hear X106-7.”
The station will also have a strong presence with social media via its own Website (www. x1067fm.com), Facebook, and Twitter. “This will be a station that listens to, and interacts with, its audience. X-106-7 will play what the audience wants to hear,” Thompson added.
