S.A. Radio: John Lisle Gets KZEP-FM Morning Show

John Lisle

San Antonio radio legend John Lisle  will return to morning radio as a rock jock again…but without longtime partner Steve Hahn.

“The John Lisle Show” will debut on classic rock’s KZEP-FM (104.5) on Monday; his show will run from 6 to 10 a.m.

“We’re extremely pleased to welcome John Lisle to the KZEP family,” said Paula Newell, operations manager at Clear Channel Media and Entertainment San Antonio. “John has a great ability to connect with listeners and has a rich history here in San Antonio. He will definitely give KZEP listeners the jump-start they need to get the day rolling.”

Jeanne Jakle at mysanantonio.com writes Lisle’s stints of subbing for Charlie Parker on another Clear Channel station – WOAI-1200 AM –  paid off for the ousted radio star.

Lisle with former KISS radio partner Hahn and former female sidekick Kelley Kendall reached local legend status after hosting mornings for rock station KISS-FM for 20 years.

It broke many a fan’s heart when the “Lisle and Hahn” show was given the boot  more than a year ago. The station cited lagging ratings as the reason.

Eventually, the morning KISS gig went to a syndicated radio show led by fun-and-games personality Billy Madison.
