Jon Dillon, whose voice is synonymous with rock-and-roll
radio in Dallas, is no longer on the air at KZPS 92.5 FM.
According to The Dallas Morning News, KZPS has confirmed
what the radio boards whisper: Jon Dillon, the 2-7 p.m. voice of the
classic-rock station and a member of the Texas Radio Hall of Honor, is no longer
employed by Clear Channel.
Station program director Don Davis will only confirm Dillon’s departure, but says via email that’s the only comment he can offer.

Jon Dillon‘s career in Dallas radio dates back to 1969, when
he was, for a while, the sole voice of KFAD-FM, which briefly poked its head
out of the rock-and-roll underground from 94.9 on your FM dial. After that came
his stint at KRLD-AM and its FM counterpart, where he could be heard playing
“progressive rock” all the way down to Mexico. Then, in ’73, he began his
legendary stint at KZEW-FM — one of the first Zoo Freaks hired, and one of the
last to leave 14 years later. In 1989 he landed the midday spot at KZPS-FM
(92.5), where he’s been ever since.
Miss his soothing voice in the afternoons.........
