Houston Radio: Gerardo Sproet Exits Middays At KKBQ


Gerardo Sproet, the longtime voice on 93Q Country, has exited his role as midday host, leaving the popular Urban One-owned station searching for a replacement.

Station management has already posted a job listing seeking a new midday personality who is “fun, compelling, talented, professional” and skilled at creating great radio in a PPM-friendly environment.

A Houston native, Sproet spent his entire radio career at KKBQ (93Q Country). He started in the promotions department in 2019, moved on-air in 2022, was promoted to evening host in July 2023, and shifted to middays in January 2025. He took over the slot that had been without a permanent host since Corey Dillon departed in October 2024.

Sproet addressed his exit in a Facebook post, which quickly drew emotional reactions from listeners.

“What????? Nooooooo I liked listening to you — my radio stayed on 92.9 while you were on,” one commenter wrote.“This can’t be for real. He was the best on there. I’m gonna miss him,” another added.

“Will miss hearing you on the radio! But bigger things will be coming your way!” a third person commented.

KKBQ, branded as 93Q Country and “Houston’s Country Leader,” is one of the market’s most prominent country stations. Licensed to Pasadena and serving the Greater Houston area, the station broadcasts on 92.9 FM and has earned multiple Academy of Country Music (ACM) Radio Station of the Year awards.

Sproet’s departure marks the latest shakeup in Houston country radio this year. Earlier this month, the morning duo Frito & Katy was removed from 100.3 The Bull after roughly 15 months on air.
