KZEW 98FM Zoo Freak Dallas Fort Worth Texas Radio Vintage Bumper Sticker

Description: KZEW 98FM Zoo Freak Dallas Fort Worth Texas Radio Vintage Bumper Sticker The KZEW Story FOR ALMOST TWO DECADES IN Dallas, a strange, elephant-like creature adorned bumper stickers, billboards, and the T-shirts of young adults who called themselves "Zoo Freaks." The creature was the logo for radio station KZEW, the station that spoke for a generation of local baby boomers, blasting out rock 'n' roll, defining the lifestyle of the post-Woodstock generation, and hosting huge, free concerts that filled Fair Park and Reunion Arena. KZEW was a pioneer on the FM dial at a time when there were few FM stations and those that did exist drizzled out tranquilizing music for doctors' offices. After a meteoric rise to the top of the rock radio heap, The Zoo completely disappeared from the FM dial and does not exist today. To look at the history of KZEW is to look at the changing profile of Dallas and the evolution of "underground" radio into a more profitable, more cautious, less vital medium. KZEW-FM had its birth in 1973 when Ira Lipson and John Dew came to Dallas from WWW in Detroit, where they had worked in FM rock. The duo was hired to work at WFAA's AM station, but what they lusted after was a then little-used station, WFAA-FM, which played "beautiful music. " Dew somehow convinced the powers that be at the conservative Belo Corporation (The Dallas Morning News, Channel 8) to let him and Lipson try out a rock 'n' roll format on the company's FM signal. At the time, of course, almost all rock stations were on the AM band because cars came with AM radios. Belo's FM station was not doing much business with its beautiful music, so management was willing to let the "hippies" take a shot. For the price of a change in call letters, KZEW was born. One radio consultant has said that if you wanted to start an FM rock station in Dallas today, the cost would be $30 million.
