KZSC Charts for the week of June 2nd
By Music Director | Published June 2nd, 2009Here are this week’s charts. Some stalwarts around the top.

By Music Director | Published April 28th, 2009This week’s charts were wonderful as well, but I am super psyched on this week’s adds in the radio 200 world. Akron/Family’s newest album, Set ‘Em Wild, Set ‘Em Free has been tearing up KZSC since their show at the Brookdale in March, and now it’s officially tearing up the airwaves. Somewhere between psychedelia, rock,…
