KEGL Dallas is raiding KTBZ Houston

I keep predicting that Vince Richards, the new programmer for Dallas/Fort Worth's 97.1 The Eagle KEGL and 102.1 The Edge KDGE will take Rod Ryan of 94.5 The Buzz KTBZ to the Metroplex for The Edge Morning slot. That's because Richards just left Houston and went to Big D.

While I predicted the wrong jock, I wasn't totally off. He's taking KTBZ's night guy, Zakk United with him says FMQB:

Zakk United is tapped for nights at Rock KEGL/Dallas. United is inbound from a similar shift at Modern Rock KTBZ/Houston.

Zakk United used to be on Rock 101 KLOL, which Richards programmed in it's latter days. I think Zakk was much better on KLOL because he was able to be looser on overnights. He seemed pretty restricted doing nights on The Buzz. I think 97.1 The Eagle could be a good fit.

So no more Sunday night's at Scout Bar with Zakk United for the Texas Buzz. The party is over in Houston.
