🚨 Z107 The Shark ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
Hey Shark Nation, I’ve got an important update for you.

Big Country Q103 is now off the air as I work behind the scenes on some major changes, upgrades, and a brand new direction. This isn’t goodbye. This is a reset, a rebuild, and the start of something bigger.

I also want to be upfront. Recent technical difficulties with the station over past couple weeks have pushed me to make this move sooner than planned. Instead of patching things together, I'm taking this moment to rebuild the right way with a stronger, cleaner sound and a clear path forward.

As part of this transition, I’ll be launching our new brand, Big Country Q103. It’s a fresh identity, a fresh sound, and a format built for growth. More information about the new format and the full launch will be coming soon, so keep your eyes right here.

Before anything else, I want to give a huge shoutout to the entire Z107 team. Thank you for your dedication, your passion, your creativity, and everything you’ve brought to this station. From on air to behind the scenes, you kept The Shark swimming with personality, heart, and a true love for radio. This team has been the backbone of the station, and none of this would have been possible without you. I am grateful for every single one of you.

To our listeners, thank you for riding with us, supporting us, and being part of this journey. Your messages, your requests, and your energy are what fuel everything we do.

Big changes. Big news. Big Country Q103 is on the horizon. Stick around, stay connected, and keep watching for the next chapter. Thank you again, and stay tuned.

Hey friends… I hate to break it to you, but tonight’s Throwback Thursday Jams is officially canceled thanks to some stubborn technical issues that really need a time-out.

I’ll be off next week and the week of Thanksgiving, so try not to miss me too much. 😉🖤

Wishing you all a safe, happy holiday—eat well, rest up, and behave… or don’t.

I’ve got a killer show lined up for my return on December 4th, so stay tuned and keep those eyes on my socials. You’re not gonna want to miss what I’ve got up my sleeve. 😘🔥
