CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A former 94.5 DJ says the days of Z-Rock are through.
Melissa Knight says she was told by Bristol Broadcasting that the station was not bringing in enough money for the company.
Knight was the only live DJ working for the station in Charleston. She tells WSAZ.com that after December 31st, she will be out of a job.
She is still recording shows for Z-Rock 93.3 in Bristol,Virginia.
Earlier this month, Z-Rock suddenly switched over to all Christmas music all the time.
There's still no word on what format the station will switch to after the holidays.
ORIGINAL STORY
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A radio station known for rocking out is now decking the halls with holiday music, and it's causing plenty of static.
Z-Rock 94.5 in Charleston made a very unexpected move on Monday, switching to all Christmas music all the time. And the deejays are off the clock, too.
Details on the switch are staying secret, and the new sound is getting mixed reviews.
We contacted the owners of the station, Bristol Broadcasting. All they would say is that Z-Rock is undergoing some changes.

The only other rock station is 106.3, and I live too far out to receive proper reception. I think this 24/7 X-mas music is a load of bull. Only old ppl listen to that stuff, and they have plenty of public radio/talk shows/am radio to entertain them. Why would anyone think it was a good idea to take away the only Rock station in our area, and then replace it with a Christmas station!!! I think its a bad move on the stations part, and I hope they cancel this X-mas trash. I can't imagine how infuriated the employees of Rock 94.5 are, I wish them all the best and sympathize with this obvious betrayal. As for me, I suppose I'll work up some playlists on my iPod.

ZRock was the best station around. I don't want to listen to Christmas music, I want rock! I hate morning talk shows on other stations and I can't pick up anything else that's worth listening to. They could have at least given warning to everyone...this sucks!
