No website yet, but their contact information is here. I tried the 260-9750 studio line, and it's not up yet.

"Trumper Returns To Radio With New Star Format In Phoenix

After an absence of four years, Jeff Trumper, CEO of Trumper Communications, is back in the radio business with the debut of Star 97.5 (KRZS-FM) Phoenix.

Trumper previously owned and operated station groups in Minneapolis; Portland, OR; Albuquerque; Charlotte; Salt Lake City; Decatur, IL; and Lexington, KY. The last Trumper group in Salt Lake City was sold to Clear Channel in 2001.

With Star 97.5, Trumper will be venturing into a new format featuring a contemporary blend of pop, jazz, swing, blues, and standards. “We are very excited about this venture,” said Trumper. “We have been looking for an opportunity, and I believe this is the right station, the right format and the right market.”

Star 97.5's playlist will include the latest from Carly Simon, Rod Stewart and Michael Buble mixed in with artists like Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Charles and new standards from Diana Krall, Harry Connick, Jr., Steve Tyrell, Peter Cincotti, Norah Jones, and others.

According to Trumper, who will also be serving as GM, the station is filling a void on the Phoenix radio dial. “No one else in Phoenix is playing this music, yet the demand is clearly there. When you have new releases from Carly Simon and Rod Stewart debuting in the top 10, Tony Bennett appearing on MTV and selling out concert venues coast to coast, and artists like Queen Latifah and Sting recording standards, you have a musical genre with broad appeal and a large audience.”
 
What, no Bossa Nova? No Reggae? No World Crap, uh, I mean Beat?

Too bad they didn't do any market research, or they would have seen that Phoenicians want, no no no, we NEED to just CHILL! Yeah, that's the ticket! As if we aren't annoyed with the number of Mexican stations on the air already, we need more, uh, cultural diversity... whatever.

This will be an interesting blend for sure, but not my cup of tea. We'll see how it fares in this town.

When, oh when, will we get our own FM Hot Talk? Our very own WJFK, without the O'Reily crap.<P ID="signature">______________

Uh, er, I thought "Mexican stations" were in Mexico.

There actually is. They started the promos last week some time. It is http://www.star975fm.com but there is nothing there right now but email links to the PD & GM. It appears to be under construction.

I am not sold on the claims for any market clamoring to hear this music, but i like it personally, and wish them well.

YEP I agree with Mr. Eduardo (cant believe Im saying this)...It does annoy me, that MOST PEOPLE, refer to all Latinos-Hispanics as MEXICAN. Thats like saying that all WHITE People are Americans.

They already started advertising on television. Saw a commerical for Star 97.5 this evening.

As it turns out, from a genealogy standpoint, all people with Spanish surnames are Caucasians. Some even come from Scottish roots - Maldonado = MacDonald, for instance.

The French Skier, Jean Claude Killi (I don't remember the spelling, sorry) came from the Irish Kellys, BTW.
