Radio without binders or blinders

HazzardAyre Radio TymezPappys Journal, HazzardAyre

Radio without binders or blinders is purtty much the way all radio is done here at Confederate Star Media, more over HazzardAyre Radio.

The way we are is without fear.

Used to be in these parts, most media owners here feared the repercussions of the Mormon church. If there was a song that spoke certain words or tended to have a spicy bit to it, or was a bit wyld , you’d be hard pressd to hear it on this areas radio.

Even TV was spooked about running such shows as Adam 12 or Emergency here, fearing some scene of busting some drug perp.

I remember one night I was purtty tuckered coming in to do my paid for by the club radio show on KMTW 96.5 here. Kelly Carlson the manager and owner now engineer of KCTF CH 45 here, was really tweaked, when I just played without a break, Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon, all the way through.

Thing was people loved what I did, and it opened up the door, that said good risky music COULD be played without protests. Shortly thereafter I caught the gig from midnight to 06:00 on KLIX, thing was CEO Charley Tuma thought I was less volatile at that hour.

So I started combining Rock A Billy with hard southern rock, and people loved it. My show was aimed at the over the road truckers pulling out there on I-84, just outside the station.

Then conglomerate Clear Channel bought KLIX and the rest of that was history.

But I was not finished. There had to be someone that kept the original ideas of performance radio alive here. So when all other media outlets both TV as well as radio shut us out, the club bought some used gear, and in 1974 KDSL FM 89.1 signed on the air. At first a pirate station for 5 months then we finally got our ticket and new call letters, KTOW yes we were the first to run those. Up until August 2012 when we sold em to a station in Colorado, KTOW lit the fuse of every high ballin gear splitter in Idaho.

In late 2012 KDOH (Dukes-of-Hazzard) AM 1090, became what KTOW was, but the FM needed bringing back up. As stereo isn’t yet a technology found on AM, not that it couldn’t be, as it was tried in the late 80’s, but there wasn’t a general acceptance on the broadcast standard so it kinda was kaput.

So with our move to becoming more aggressive on preservation of southern history and heritage along with southern education, KDXB was chosen and so goes it.

But there’s more, HazzardAyre started on KDOH, that said there was a need to get some more horsepower to the new show. So KDXB at FM 105.7 becomes the big gun in Idaho as the source for southern fried radio in the mountain west.

Across Idaho, you’ll hear HazzardAyre, from our sister station KDXC FM 93.3 Rigby Idaho.

More locals are being looked at but enough of us.

The idea is simply, give people both those like us who love Jesus and a few just plain old rebel rednecks the kind of radio that few dare.

Doing that means playing artists that are not on that Billboard computer driven hot 100. Like Emma Leigh, and a few others. Thing is this is progressive good wholesome music all can enjoy, without thinking is there something nasty in the lyrics.

This is HazzardAyre .

HazzardAyre is simply radio without binders or blinders.

Stay Tuned.
