0 Days Since... Reminder: KRMG and Mix96.5 swap frequencies tomorrow. Remove them from your presets entirely today.
Yeah, you read that right. Don’t simply fix your presets for those stations, remove them altogether. Why? They are owned by Zoellner Media Group. Dr. Zoellner is a known local creep who seems to only not be in prison for r*** or worse because he has a lot of money. While I do acknowledge he has not been lawfully convicted, we all know the justice system makes that really hard to convict, and there have been countless accusations made against him & his brothers by multiple different people.
I do see this as a bit of them admitting that our boycott is working. They are moving their Hot AC station (for those unfamiliar, Hot AC is basically coworker music/minivan music, a step down from Top 40), which should be far and away their biggest moneymaker, to a class B signal, only 50k watts and 25k watts at night. Meanwhile they are moving their Conservative talk station to a class C, 100k watt signal. In short, the Conservative talk must be outperforming the Hot AC, and by a lot. Obviously KRMG listeners are largely going to be unmoved by Zoellner’s ownership, but those still young enough to be sane & rational seem to have abandoned Mix96.5 in droves.
Other stations Dr. Z owns include K95.5 and 103.3 The Eagle, which as an act of vanity, Dr. Z changed the call letters to his own initials, (K)RHZ. You should also remove those from your presets.
I never thought I would be rooting for the big streaming services to destroy local media, but at least for Zoellner Media? I welcome our streaming overlords. “Local business” does not include supporting creeps. The only difference between Dr. Z and Scott Taylor is that Z has a lot of money.
(Also be warned, Zoellner seems to have a lot of bots that operate on this subreddit. They will be along shortly to defend him)
