A Fond Farewell to The Lisle and Hahn Morning Show

99.5 KISS Rocks San Antonio

First let me say that I think Lisle and Hahn delivered a MUCH NEEDED radio program in the mornings, and I truly am confused.

I don't understand why two radio personalities are now gone, and would like to know...

You guys will be missed not only on the radio, but at the awesome events you made SO much fun.

The very best to you both xo

An open letter from San Antonio Cox Media Group VP of Programming Virgil Thompson:

I want to let our loyal listeners know that John Lisle and Steve Hahn will no longer be heard on KISS. The other key member of The Lisle & Hahn Show, Kelley Kendall will remain with Cox Radio in a position to be announced at a later date.

First, I want to thank John and Steve for their years of service to 99.5 KISS and the San Antonio community. Lisle & Hahn’s current stint with 99.5 KISS started in January 1992 and enjoyed many great moments in the last 19 plus years. Lisle & Hahn were also key members of the KISS air staff with various stints in the 1980s and have been one of the longest running morning shows in San Antonio and in the radio industry; that accomplishment is truly rare in the hyper-competitive radio business.

99.5 KISS appreciates you, our loyal listeners. We would like you to look at this as an opportunity to help us build a radio station that truly meets your needs. We want your opinion on what you would like to hear in a morning show on 99.5 KISS, what style or type of rock music you want to hear and how much of it we should play! We know you are passionate listeners and trust you will give us great feedback to use as we build an even better 99.5 KISS. No station is perfect…but we’d like to get as close as we can…and we think we can with your input. Stay tuned and listen for the ways you can make your voice heard.

99.5 KISS listeners have attended and participated in hundreds of concerts we have presented over the years and events such as The Margarita Pouroff, blood drives, food drives, and other charitable and community endeavors. We appreciate you and hope you will keep listening and offer your input on what you hear in the future on 99.5 KISS.

For advertisers, 99.5 KISS and kissrocks.com, offer one of San Antonio’s most enduring radio brands, with passionate, active listeners that respond to the various methods of advertising via on-air, on-line or lifestyle events. 99.5 KISS delivers results!
