Did you catch Saturday night’s one-off performance of Hip-Hop Broadway at the Winspear Opera House? If you did, it’s a safe bet your still humming along to Jennifer Holliday’s rendition of her signature song, “And I’m Telling You,” from Dreamgirls.

KXT welcomes Paul Slavens for his first show on the new station. Listen in tonight – the first hour is all local music – and feel free to leave your comments on tonight’s show. Paul may comment later as he settles into his new digs.

FWO VIDEOS: On Thursday, I got an e-mail with a link to a special video message from Fort Worth Opera General Director Darren K. Woods. It’s a nice enough video of Woods thanking fans of the opera for making this season a special one and letting us know that the organization finished the year with [...]

Trailer for Tattooed Under Fire
Back in March, the AFI Film Festival screened the documentary, Tattooed Under Fire, about the River City Tattoo Parlor in Killeen, Texas, home of Fort Hood. Filmmaker Nancy Schiesari became fascinated by the fact that American Army soldiers deploying to Iraq were getting “meat tag” tattoos — essentially, their ID [...]

Party atmosphere – well, as party as you can get at 7 a.m. -  upstairs in the KXT studio.   Mary Anne Alhadeff, KERA’s CEO, spoke the first words on the new station, and then turned things over to Gini Mascorro, who, as Stephen already told you, played Santana’s “She’s Not There.” Jeff Ramirez, VP [...]

If you’ve missed those recent stories, you can check out [...]

Well, this is it ! My last show on 90.1@Night, in fact, the last night of 90.1@Night. After more than a decade, it is with some sadness that I lay the show to rest.
However, next week just twist that dial a bit to the right, 91.7, and tune in at the same time for The [...]

Maybe you’ve heard that KERA is launching KXT 91.7 on Monday. Ahem.
Well, today some fine members of the media  are here visiting KXT’s shiny sparkly studio, and listening to Gini Mascorro and Joe Kozera punch up a few tunes and get comfy behind their new board.   And we have special guests  making beautiful music upstairs [...]

Set those DVRs for 10 p.m. tonight on KERA (Channel 13). That’s when St. Vincent and Andrew Bird perform on Austin City Limits. Each of them had sold-out shows at the Granada this year, so you obviously like ‘em. Drop a comment to this post tomorrow to let us know how the ACL performance was.

Now it can be told. When you tune into the new KXT,  Gini Mascorro and Joe Kozera will be your hosts.

Gini is the station’s music coordinator. She’ll also host the weekday KXT Morning Show and KXT Texas Mix on Fridays. If you’re an Art&Seek fan, you’ll recognize Gini’s voice, and her editorial guidance,  on the [...]
