Texas music is about, well, music. Not making money. I am willing to bet the music was initially behind the concept. Bruce was onboard during their recent rise to some prominence. Not only was Bruce there during the stations increase in popularity, he was the driving force behind it.

If they're targeting the male demographic then why did they put air headed hoes on the air?

If Bruce wasn't the right fit then "you can see the playlist for the past 24-hours and it looked similar to what ya'll have always played."

"The fact is, you know, we are still going to be the only radio station in town that plays Max Stalling and The Derailers and Chris Knight and Dale Watson and Ray Wylie Hubbard, etc."

Josh Jones has never heard of http://www.KNON.org or The Ranch for that matter??? KNON has been playing this music for 25 years.

Josh Jones is a liar. If you believe a word he says you're a fool. He sounds exactly like a politician, alot of fluff and zero substance. Much like a politician, I can't trust 'em.

Bruce wanted to pay Jack Ingram for playing the TMR gig and the powers that be said NO WAY. That's why Bruce left.

It's the musicians out there struggling, busting their butts doing what they love that make this music scene go 'round. Not some self important lackey like Jones.

I will not let Jones take any credit for what Texans have been doing for many years: making talented, heart-felt good music.

It seems to me Jones just wants to make a little living off of the output of others' souls.

Alot like the other Jones, Jerry.

When it comes to the new music, KNON will always be ahead of KHYI's plastic curve.

At the last TMR Bruce wanted to pay Jack Ingram for performing.

Well the smarmy old smart alecks said no, they weren't going to pay Jack for playing the gig. Bruce got red as hell, grabbed his family and walked out of the event, and that was the end of his employment at KBOX...err KHYI.
