The press release:
1960s RADIO POWERHOUSE KFJZ – FORT WORTH, TX
WILL BE REBORN FOR THE DAY ON XM SATELLITE RADIO
If you grew up in Fort Worth in the 1960s, you probably remember listening to the Beatles and the Supremes on KFJZ Radio.
The 60s sound of KFJZ will be reborn on Friday, February 29, on XM Satellite Radio, if only for the day.
XM has a 60’s radio channel that plays the popular hits from the decade. Every Friday, the channel pays tribute to a great radio station from the era on a show called “Sonic Sound Salutes.”
You can hear the radio station jingles from the 60’s, recordings of the DJs and announcers, and chatter about Fort Worth area high schools, restaurants, concerts, and hangouts. And of course, you can hear the classic songs that the station played during the 60’s.
XM will celebrate Fort Worth’s KFJZ as a group of successful and influential radio stations of the period on the 60’s channel from 3 pm to 8 pm CT.
The weekly tributes are hosted by XM disc jockey Terry “Motormouth” Young, whose research includes his own audiotapes, Web sites, and phone calls to local chambers of commerce to find people who grew up with that station.
“For five hours, we are going to turn our channel into KFJZ from the 1960’s,” said Young. “You’ll hear the songs and the jingles and DJs you remember. This is one of our most popular shows. We get calls from people all over the country who have lived in that week’s city and remember that station. At XM, we’re passionate about good music and good radio, and this show pays tribute to both.”
The 60’s channel is one of 172 channels available on XM Satellite Radio, which is broadcast from coast to coast. XM is the nation’s leading satellite radio company with more than 8.5 million subscribers. Listeners tune into XM on satellite radios for the car, home, and portable use. A free, three-day trial of XM Satellite Radio is available online at http://listen.xmradio.com
