San Antonio Waves Goodbye to Joe Pags Show on 1200 WOAI
San Antonio is buzzing with chatter and emotions as the beloved Joe Pags Show hits a sudden stop on 1200 WOAI. After nearly two decades of serving up spicy conservative talk, host Joe Pagliarulo announced via a heartfelt social media video that the station decided to let him go, even though his show was enjoying some of the highest ratings seen in years. It’s indeed a rollercoaster moment for the San Antonio airwaves!
From Airwaves to Memories
For those who may not know, the “Joe Pags Show” launched on 1200 WOAI back in 2005 and quickly carved out a special place in the hearts of local listeners. Pagliarulo isn’t just known for his energetic style but also for his memorable interviews, including one with none other than President Donald Trump in November 2017 at the White House, which Joe proudly calls a crowning achievement.
In his farewell video, Pagliarulo reflected on his time at the station. “It’s been an amazing run,” he expressed. He was visibly grateful for the unwavering support from the city of San Antonio and his dedicated listeners. “I want to thank the city of San Antonio and the amazing listeners for all your support,” he passionately stated.
A Bright New Chapter
Just because “The Joe Pags Show” isn’t airing on 1200 WOAI anymore doesn’t mean it’s over for Joe! This popular program is nationally syndicated, and fans around the country can still tune in every weekday from 5 to 8 p.m. CT. Plus, for those looking for a more modern listening experience, Joe has been ramping up his presence online and can now be caught live streaming on his website, joepags.com.
“It is not a sad day. It is a positive day with an incredible outlook for the future,” Joe declared, looking forward to what’s next for him and his show. His supporters have been vocal on social media, with one fan stating, “WOAI……you just lost one of the most brilliant minds on talk radio.” It’s clear that his fans are not ready to say goodbye just yet!
A Changing Landscape in Local Radio
Pagliarulo’s exit from 1200 WOAI is just one chapter in a larger story of change sweeping across local radio. Recently, other local stations like Hits 105.3 also made headlines by letting go of some familiar faces, including morning show hosts Jenny Lee and Tony Cortez.
