Zakk United leaves 94.5 KTBZ The Buzz in Houston

It's no surprise that FMQB is reporting that night jock Zakk United is leaving 94.5 The Buzz KTBZ in Houston.

Why? Well I posted January 10th, 2008 that he was going on the air in Dallas at the resurrected 97.1 The Eagle KEGL. In fact last spring the wife and I drove to Dallas and heard Zakk United the entire time. We started in Houston at 7pm listening to Zakk on 94.5 The Buzz and when we ended in Dallas hours later he was also on the air on 97.1 The Eagle.

The question is, has he been live in Houston or Dallas this whole time while voice tracking the other?  Clear Channel has this technology down!

Zakk is probably better suited as a rock DJ so the move makes sense. He was overnights on Rock 101 KLOL for a while and was very good on that shift. I don't think he could truly be ZU on The Buzz.

Since his bio is still up on KEGL's web site, we must assume he is still there. If you want to still here Zakk United, go listen to 97.1 The Eagle online. Good thing he isn't going to work at this station.
