Talk:Z Rock

message: Okay, this one's gonna take some time. First off, I got rid of the modern rock redirect. The two have nothing in common.
So, anyone remember the old Z Rock radio network? Add your info to the article. --Fightingirish 01:49, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

message: As I remember it, Mandatory Metallica wasn't a "program" on z-rock, it was a promise they made to their listeners that they would play at least one Metallica song every hour, and the prefaced such songs with the declaration, "Mandatory Metallica!"  Anyone else remember it that way?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.250.69.218 (talk) 15:31, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't remember it being every hour, I just remember hearing "and now, here's your Mandatory Metallica" nearly every time i listened to old 94.5 Z-Rock. :) Eaglizard (talk) 18:51, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Moved from article space to talk for discussion: is this material useful or does it just pad the article and make it long? RJFJR (talk) 17:32, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I recommend putting this back into the article as it goes with Z-Rock being a national network, unheard of at the time, and a precursor to current satellite radio, and also shows the reach that the network had through the dozens and dozens of affiliate stations that carried the programming.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Radioist (talk • contribs) 11:25, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  wait a second... 

message: I gotta say, this article is REALLY sad. I mean, as I remember (as mentioned above), Z-Rock was an astonishing new idea at the time, and the fact that it featured the brand of hard Heavy Metal that it did had a LOT to do with the increasing prominence of that genre. I don't think Pantera would have gone anywhere without their local support at Z-Rock, but somebody would probably argue that. Anyway, I remember Z-Rock being incredibly influential and that everybody talked about it. I remember talking to friends in other cities in the late '80s and thinking "wow, they're listening the same radio station I am!" (although that wasn't strictly true, it was as close as it would come until the big wave of satellite radio and the internets.
But this article doesn't reflect any of that. I mean, don't get me wrong: I'm not even a fan! (I was very much into alt-rock and what passed for 'punk' at that time, Husker Du and REM and shit.) I rarely actually listened to zrock. But even I remember it as being a pioneer in a big way. However, I am prevented from fixing this article, because I am too lazy to find cites for any such stuff. Maybe an actual zrock fan will do that. :) Eaglizard (talk) 19:00, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll take a look at it later.  I came to Z-Rock late after I moved to Houston (KKZR I think) in ~1991.  I remember Dave Bolt and the "Z-Rock 50" countdown of the top 50 songs.  I forget though--was that every week?  Anyway I still have some clips and images somewhere.  If I dig them up I'll post a link.  Angelo  20:06, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Disappointing article

message: No big deal, but in 1989 WWZR was 90 (something...98.9?) in Port St Joe/Panama City (FL)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BeachCrawler (talk • contribs) 15:34, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
