I have listened to KRBE for years, but the segment involving the bakery and the comments made about…read morearthritis were disappointing and came across as insensitive. Humor is one thing, but making light of medical conditions that many people genuinely struggle with is not entertaining to everyone. The remarks joking about arthritis and the bakery employee crossed the line from humor into unnecessary ridicule. To their credit, Cumulus Media management did respond to complaints, removed the segment from social media and podcast platforms, and acknowledged that the content was not consistent with company policy. I do appreciate that action being taken. However, what still stands out to me is that the on-air personalities directly involved in the segment have not publicly apologized to the bakery employee, the bakery itself, or the listeners affected by the comments. A sincere acknowledgment on air and on the same social media platforms where the segment was published and discussed would have gone a long way toward showing accountability and respect. Broadcasters have a platform that reaches a large audience, and with that comes professionalism and awareness. Unfortunately, this situation changed my view of the station.

Thank you for the tickets KRBE!!! I can't believe I won!! It was super exciting to see where you…read moreguys work. I listen to you guys everyday that I work!! Special K, your prank calls actually makes me laugh out loud. Royal and Ryan's Roses.... my fav one so far was the girl calling about her ex husband. Only to find out That he was sending to her mom. Then we all found out that her mom is pregnant with her ex-husband's child. And that they were getting married. That was a shocker for all of us!

KXYZ-FM first signed on February 1, 1948. It would stay on the air for five and one-half years…read morebefore being silent for about eight years. As typical of FM radio stations in the mid-20th century, the FM station usually was a hi-fi simulcast of its AM parent. During the 1960s, it simulcasted its AM parent KXYZ which played beautiful music. In the late 1960's, the format changed to Love Radio formulated by then-owner ABC Radio with the calls changing to KAUM around 1970. From 1980 through late 1986, the 96.5 FM slot for the Houston-Galveston market operated as KSRR 97 Rock FM, featuring morning radio host Moby. The station competed against the album rock format of 101.1 KLOL (and from 1986, KZFX Z-107.5 FM). From October 15, 1986, the station changed call letters to KKHT, and the hard rock-oriented format was replaced by a contemporary hit radio format known as Hit 96.5. By mid-1987, heavy competition from top 40 powerhouses KKBQ and KRBE prompted the station to morph to Adult Contemporary. The station rebranded as 96.5 KKHT From 1989, the station changed call letters to KNRJ, modifying its format to feature a heavier variety of "high-energy" dance music. This format, branded Energy 96.5, was a competitive response to two other local stations, 93Q KKBQ and Power 104 KRBE, whose Top 40 formats reflected the increasing presence of dance club-oriented tracks (catering to a then-lucrative target audience drawn to the flourishing night club scenes along Richmond Ave., and inner Westheimer Road.). These competitors featured late-night, weekend live-to-air from local dance clubs (e.g., Club 6400, The Ocean Club), where in-house DJs drew heavily from libraries of imported and small-label, extended-length modern tracks (which otherwise were seldom, if ever, heard on most commercial stations); by early 1990, KNRJ had partnered with the Tower Theater's Decadance to host its own weekend, late-night live broadcast. In early June 1990, during a morning talk show segment, the host personalities announced that Energy 96.5 would switch to an Alternative Rock format. The Alternative 96.5 re-brand was a transitional format, lasting roughly six weeks, and was promoted while a forthcoming format -- under a strategic decision by the station's owner, Nationwide Communications, Inc. -- was under preparation. A weekly play list, under an Alternative 96.5 makeshift letterhead, was distributed to local retail and media outlets, culminating on July 17, 1990.

Music is more top 40 than adult or rock or alternative than it used to be. Either play more of…read morethat or just call yourselves top-40 and be done with it. The people who listened to you when you started out don't want to hear Bieber. And forget about listening online. After five minutes of ads I gave up on that
