Walton and Johnson to return February 15?
Matt Bramanti calls my attention to a note on the Walton and Johnson website, in which they promise a return to the Houston airwaves on February 15.
Walton and Johnson were left without a Houston station when KLOL-101 made its abrupt switch from album-oriented rock to Latino.
According to a commenter at the Houston Architecture Info Forum, a new adult-oriented rock station is in the works and will be W&J's new home:
Feb 15th is the date for Walton & Johnson to be back on the air in Houston. The station will be 97.5 till the new 103.7 tower is fully functional. The format for 97.5 will be Adult Oriented Rock. Alittle more upscale then the old Rock 101 KLOL format. Hope this clears things up. Looking forward towards the change.
My source is John Walton of the Walton & Johnson show.
If this truly comes to pass, it will be nice to have an adult-oriented rock station back on the air.
UPDATE (01-10-2005): DenimDoll notes the following in the comments:
While watching Fox26 News tonight, Jim Pruett confirmed that not only will Walton & Johnson end up on 97.5, Outlaw Dave will be the afternoon DJ and Mr. Pruett himself will be the midday jock. The new management of 97.5 did an on-camera interview but could not confirm any of these rumors due to non-compete agreements.
The rumors seem to be growing more substantive. Excellent.
