Christmas music launches on ‘Star 102.1’
After Christmas, iHeartMedia announced in a press release, Star 102.1 will switch to a mainstream adult-contemporary format, playing “hits from major artists like Madonna, Maroon 5, Michael Jackson and Kelly Clarkson.”
Thank you everyone. No one is more disappointed than me. I will say more this weekend. Need to disconnect and try to make sense of my life.

ORIGINAL POST PRE EDGE FORMAT CHANGE
Atom Smasher issues public apology to 102.1 The Edge listeners
When longtime Houston radio dude Atom Smasher worked mornings at Mix 96.5 KHMX Houston, his tenure was controversy free from what I remember, but now he is apparently shaking up the Dallas-Fort Worth radio dial.
The recently hired 102.1 The Edge KDGE morning show host took to the radio apparently and social media to apologize for something he said:
"On behalf of the show, I'd like to apologize for anyone who was offended by comments made during this morning's Atom Smasher Show. Although I may not be able to publicly address the situation, I take full responsibility and hope to move past this and continue being a part of your morning commute on 102.1 The Edge."
Sincerely,
Atom
Now, just what was said, I have no idea. And neither do the listeners writing in to him on social media. In fact, I have even more DFW folks coming to my blog than usual because they are trying to figure out what Smasher said!
I'm guessing since this seemed to have happened yesterday, maybe it is election related. If so, what could he have possibly said that hasn't been said already?!
