KZEP-FM (104.5 FM) is a classic rock radio station broadcasting in and around San Antonio, Texas, USA. The station is owned by Clear Channel Communications.

Programming

KZEP plays two songs from the same artist every Tuesday calling it "Two For Tuesday" (2X 4 Tuesday). KZEP also airs a classic disc at midnight, playing an album's worth of music from the same artist. The album usually ties in with an event that occurred on said day (for instance, a Rolling Stones album on Mick Jagger's birthday).

History

KZEP signed on as KITE-FM with a beautiful music format. Toward the end of the 1960's, KITE-FM began experimenting with a multi-formatted station, i.e., beautiful music during the day and album rock after 11 PM. The underground rock segment was known as "Now Sounds." The Album Underground Rock format began after the classical music segment. Disc jockey Alan Grimm broadcast a different length show every night, sometimes until 6 AM. Underground rock artists included: It's A Beautiful Day, Bubble Puppy, The 13th Floor Elevators, Procol Harem, Ten Years After, Jefferson Airplane, Savoy Brown, The Who, The Grateful Dead, Love, Pink Floyd, Josefus, etc. KITE-FM evolved into a full time rocker as KEXL in the 1970s.
