KZOM, Zoom 104.5 - Orange

[ClassX]

Yes, I got it. I actually run (program & manage) 2 LPFM stations in Northern Ky right across the river from Cincinnati. I played a part in getting the rules changed to allow LPFM stations.

My Corporation, Spryex Communications, Inc. applied for a full power in Cincinnati back in 1999. It looks like it might be granted finally, in a couple of months. So I look forward to building it this Spring/Summer.

I also have 2 small networks where I program for a few other stations. They are ClassXRadio.com and ChoiceFMRadio.com

So it seems like all of the crew that I knew there (at KZOM) might still be infected with the Radio Virus like me! How is Bobbi? Has anyone talked to her. How about Mark and Dave? Dave was so extremely talented and so were you Larry! I miss those days! I got kinda bored doing airwork and became more interested in programming/management.

So what are you into these days Biglar? Shoot me your email address and everyone else's that you have from those days. I'd love to catch up with everyone.

BTW, I still have a copy of my TX drivers license with a picture on it. Man I did look scary! Gosh, what was I thinking? I looked like Sly Stone on drugs!

I was only there a few months (1979-1980), but I remember Larry, Bob, Dave and Bobbie. It was my last job in radio. Don't know how anyone could make it on those wages. I was so desperate, I got a job in advertising, and started making so much money I couldn't ever get out of it. Would much rather be spinning vinyl and breaking format... ;-)

Another ex KKMY personality from its oldies days was George Farris, who I heard on the radio in Denver several years later.
