BOGEY BROADCASTING KYRK/CORPUS CHRISTI, TX debuted at 5p CST as Classic Hits "The New 106-5 The Shark," playing "Killer Hits from '70s, '80s and '90s." After launching with BLACK CROWES' "Jealous Again," "THE SHARK" features hits by RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, AEROSMITH, R.E.M., EAGLES, DEF LEPPARD, PEARL JAM, TOM PETTY, PRINCE, DAVE MATTHEWS BAND, U2, COLLECTIVE SOUL and LED ZEPPELIN.
The station targets 25-49 adults (50/50 male-female split) and uses DUDE WALKER and ROBERTA SOLOMON as station voices. You can hear the station live at 1065theshark.com
"After considering several different formats, this 'Next Generation of Classic Hits' clearly is the right choice at this time for the CORPUS CHRISTI market," BOGEY BROADCASTING Owner/GM SCOTT HOLT said. "CLEAR CHANNEL Oldies stations KMXR has retreated back into the '60s/'70s and our research told us CONVERGENT BROADCASTING Classic Hits KAJE is vulnerable in several different areas. In addition, TEJAS BROADCASTING Hot AC KLTG has recently dropped all '80s/'90s and gone to a very current format."
