KSYR

KSYR was an alternative rock music radio station in Benton, Louisiana and was known as "The Buzz." The Buzz was created as an alternative rock addition to Shreveport, and competed mainly with local hard rock station, 99x. The Buzz brought a refreshing new style of music to the area, featuring many bands that were not played on 99x or any other station. On Saturday nights, The Buzz was transformed into "Club Buzz," where all the songs played were techno-influenced remixes of the normal alternative songs that they played The Buzz also featured a variety of interaction with listeners as well as original contests. Weekly contests featured were The Free Buzz at 4:20, Thumbs Up or the Finger, The Buzz Rewind, and the short lived Buzz Bits, where listeners could call in and say whatever they wanted, within reason. Their Too Cool for Tool contest was also original, with each contestant sitting on a large tub of ice, and whoever lasted the longest received a pair of Tool tickets, along with a "Tool"-box full of Tool SWAG. The Buzz came to an abrupt end in 2004, where they were literally there one minute and gone the next. No reason was ever stated for the cancellation of the station, and the format was quickly switched to Christmas music until the start of the new year. Since The Buzz, the station has been a light rock station and its current format is Spanish radio.
