Withers Broadcasting Alternative “106.5 The Shark” KYRK Taft/Corpus Christi TX has relaunched as “Bandtango Radio” in partnership with Mike Quinn’s Bandtango Inc.
Quinn, a former radio programmer turned artist manager, has utilized the Bandtango brand previously for an artists rights management system and streaming audio platform. The groups are planning a future “Bandtango Media Festival” for the station in Corpus Christi.
With the rebranding, KYRK is now positioning as “New Alternative First” with a current/recurrent heavy presentation. Dan Rios, who joined KYRK as morning host last year and rose to Program Director in June, remains in both positions. The rest of the station’s lineup will feature Music Director Marcy Martino in middays, Rob Ferair in afternoons, ‘Boogie’ at night and ‘Lex’ overnights.
