The following is from San Antonio Cox Media Group VP of Programming Virgil Thompson. "I want to let our loyal listeners know that John Lisle and Steve Hahn will no longer be heard on KISS. The other key member of The Lisle & Hahn Show, Kelley Kendall will remain with Cox Radio in a position to be announced at a later date." Thompson tells Radio Ink the contract of the morning show was not renewed and Hahn was contemplating retirement anyway. The show has been on since 1992.
"First, I want to thank John and Steve for their years of service to 99.5 KISS and the San Antonio community. Lisle & Hahn?s current stint with 99.5 KISS started in January 1992 and enjoyed many great moments in the last 19 plus years. Lisle & Hahn were also key members of the KISS air staff with various stints in the 1980s and have been one of the longest running morning shows in San Antonio and in the radio industry; that accomplishment is truly rare in the hyper-competitive radio business."
"99.5 KISS appreciates you, our loyal listeners. We would like you to look at this as an opportunity to help us build a radio station that truly meets your needs. We want your opinion on what you would like to hear in a morning show on 99.5 KISS, what style or type of rock music you want to hear and how much of it we should play! We know you are passionate listeners and trust you will give us great feedback to use as we build an even better 99.5 KISS. No station is perfect?but we?d like to get as close as we can?and we think we can with your input. Stay tuned and listen for the ways you can make your voice heard."
