Houston Waves Goodbye to “The Bo Corona Show”
In a surprising turn of events, radio enthusiasts in Houston and across Texas are saying their goodbyes to _The Bo Corona Show_, which has been a cherished program on Tejano 95.7-103.3 for the past two years. The show has filled the airwaves in major cities like Dallas, Midland-Odessa, Victoria, and the Rio Grande Valley, making it a beloved staple for Tejano music lovers.
Budget Cuts Force Changes
The parent company of Tejano 95.7-103.3, Alpha Media, has made the tough decision to cut the show as part of broader corporate budget adjustments. Unfortunately, this means that Bo Corona, a name synonymous with Tejano music in Texas and recognized as the _Most Listened to Tejano Radio DJ in Texas_, will no longer be hosting his weekday program from 3 to 7 p.m.
Reflecting on the Journey
Bo Corona, who was one of the first DJs on the station when it launched in 2022 alongside fellow San Antonio legend Jonny Ramirez, has shared his love for both Tejano music and the vibrant community of San Antonio. Though he hails from El Paso, Bo has spent considerable time in San Antonio and has a soft spot for the city’s rich culture and its residents.
His departure from Tejano 95.7-103.3 marks the end of a significant chapter, especially considering how the station initially focused on Mexican music as “La Ley” before evolving its format to cater to fans of Tejano music based on listener feedback.
Looking Ahead
While the cancellation of _The Bo Corona Show_ has left many of his listeners heartbroken, the good news is that the show is still set to be broadcast across Texas statewide. This gives fans outside of San Antonio a chance to continue enjoying Bo’s unique take on Tejano culture and music.
Bo’s Connection with Fans
One of the things that Bo Corona cherished the most was his interaction with listeners. He has frequently been involved in local events, celebrating significant cultural occasions like Cinco de Mayo and Fiesta Oyster Bake, and enjoying meals at the local Mexican restaurants that San Antonio is famous for. His vibrant personality and engaging content have definitely made a mark on many.
Trends in Broadcasting
The cancellation of Bo’s show is not an isolated incident. It appears there’s a growing trend affecting multiple popular radio shows in the San Antonio area. Shows like _The Joe Pags Show_ and _Jenny & Tony in the Morning_ have also recently come to an abrupt end, further highlighting the challenges that broadcasters are facing due to tightening budgets.
A Cultural Impact
The impact of Bo’s departure, combined with the cancellation of other well-loved shows, raises questions about the future of radio programming in Texas. Tejano music continues to thrive in San Antonio, and many hope that there will be viable alternatives to keep this cherished genre alive in the community.
The Final Curtain
As Bo’s last day on-air approaches, fans are taking to social media to express their gratitude for the joy he brought into their lives and the music scenes they cherish. The airwaves might be a little quieter without _The Bo Corona Show_, but the memories and the music will live on in the hearts of those who tuned in.
As San Antonio bids farewell to a radio icon, listeners will continue rallying around the power of community, music, and the connections they’ve built through their shared love for Tejano culture.
