Arrow 93.7 KKRW FM

Walton & Johnson is the funniest morning how in Houston. Their views are in line with normal educated American’s. They don’t favor the idiots from the Democrat/​Hippie/​Homosexual pervert group, they favor the Republican (normal people) group. If you like hearing about how Obama is screwing up this country, and how much of a piece of crap Quanel X is, then this is the morning how for you.
If you want to continue blaming the white man for everything, collecting welfare, and waiting in line for your food stamp, then turn the dial in your Toyota Prius to a different channel.
The music on 93.7 isn’t the best, same old same old, but Walton & Johnson are the best

I was reminded by another review how much I dislike the morning show. When I hit this station by accident on my way in to work, I immediately hit another button. Really disgusting, stupid, unfunny bigots. The station’s not too good during the day either, but that’s just because they seldom play anything I like.

I love the morning show. These guys are extremely talented! The show is the only one with INTELLIGENT humor that really get me going in the morning.

I love classic rock like the next guy, meaning you and the two guys who are on either side of you. I like to play air drums while driving, which endangers you and the other motorists. I especially enjoy playing air drums to «When the Levee Breaks» by Led Zeppelin. That song causes a pile-​up every time.
But the Arrow is just lame. As a barometer of their lameness, you’ll hear the Aerosmith version of «Come Together» more often than you’ll hear the original version.
I think two guys got together and went to a garage sale, where they bought ten albums apiece. On the way home, they decided to start a radio station. They lost three albums on the way home, but that didn’t stop them. Some twenty-​some years on, nobody’s bought more albums. Two of the original albums purchased are by the Alan Parsons’ Project.
Dean and Rog are pretty lame too, but they are total genius compared to the two halfwitted bigots who do the morning show now. Walton and Johnson sound like they’re broadcasting from the bait shop, drinking lousy coffee, spitting tobacco, and talking about how commies and coloreds are running their great country down, playing reliable warhorses like «Dust in the Wind» and «Bad to the Bone» between jeremiads. But if it’s trenchant political commentary you’re looking for, you can go to the left of the Arrow and listen to NPR; that is, if you have the tolerance for Balkan wedding music.
Who needs car accidents? When you listen to the Arrow, you can have one in your own car.

If I could have given 0 stars, I would have. My issue is not with the music, but with the morning radio show. Flipping to 93.7 on the way to work is like getting into a time machine and traveling back to Vidor, TX in 1950. How in the world is this acceptable in 2011? This show gives conservatives and Southerners a bad wrap. I knew that having our first African American president would incite some racism in the media, but this is a way over the top.

I have to agree with so many of the other reviews. The morning show is disgusting and doesn’t reflect Houston’s great demographic. Geez, I’ve lived away from Houston for about 9 years. I like classic rock. This morning show is some ass-​backwards B.S. Anyway, poor Houston. Our city deserves better than crap like this in the morning

I can not stand the morning show on this station, it is really sad considering I love the music the station plays. The morning show expresses so much hate and ignorance it really makes me sick, I have had to completely ban the station from my radio, why would I ever want my son to hear any of the garbage coming out of these racist mens mouths. I agree with the comment before mine, if I could give NO stars I would. I would hope the owners of this station would come to their sences and take these guys off the air.

If I could give this station minus stars I would. Although I like the music (I’m in my early 40’s), their morning show is beyond HORRIBLE! They are racist, chavanistic IDIOTS!!! As a woman, I found the show extremely degrading and the two dj’s are extremely uninformed and simplistic in their views of life. The last thing we need is more of these type of idiots on the airwaves spewing their brand of hate. They are what give the South a bad name!

eh…
Let’s just say it’s not on my top 6 on my radio presets.

The music they play is what my dad used to listen to, so sometimes I would tune in for reminiscing about some of my childhood. It was never my favorite station, but it was on my presets and I’d listen every once in a while. In the morning they had these two guys I think called Dean and Raj that would do pranks on people that were amusing, but the main point of the radio station seemed to be the music.
Unfortunately, at some point the station owners decided that rather than music, people wanted to listen to extremist anti-​American rhetoric, and replaced the morning show with a few racist, anti-​American weirdos who blame Obama for everything from their ingrown toenails to the eventual change of the sun to a red giant star which will expand and burn away the Earth and destroy our solar system.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve got plenty of my own complaints about the government and the current president, but that’s what water cooler talk or blogs are for. When I turn on the radio, I want music first, and maybe a little light-​hearted banter. The guys that have the morning show are too filled with hatred and have ruined this station. I took them off of my preset stations and won’t listen to them again, barring some major staff changes.

So Dante says the eighth level of Hell includes fraudulent rhetoric? Then I’ve found the eighth level of Hell… at 93.7FM. It’s called the Walton and Johnson Show.
I’ll admit, I don’t stick to any one station in the morning. I flit from one to the other, trying to find music or interesting topics of conversation, and failing that, I’ll listen to CD’s. But I did often settle on Dean and Rog because I really enjoyed The Birthday Scam and Dead Guy in the Envelope. When they weren’t talking about Susie’s underwear, they could be pretty funny. But Walton and Johnson? Gross overgeneralizations about current affairs, scapegoating illegal immigrants, and racist, homophobic «humor». I appreciate humor in all its forms: bawdy, inappropriate, straight, deadpan, slapstick, bizarre, British… but Walton and Johnson AREN’T EVEN FUNNY. They seem to pander to a certain far right demographic, and I don’t find fault with that, because I’m not one of those people who think you’re stupid or misinformed just because your political views don’t match mine. But honestly, most conservatives I know don’t even find W&J funny.
All I can say is thank God I still live in America (though W&J seem to think otherwise), where I am free to change the radio station whenever I choose. *waves American flag*

After co-​hosting a morning show at a smaller market classic rock radio station, The Arrow is a lot of the same old thing to me.
I am not sure how, over the years, the play list from market to market hasn’t expanded at least a little bit. When I tune in, I could probably tell you the run time on most of the songs they play because I spent years spinning the same tunes myself. I used to get tons of calls for things off the play list but it doesn’t seem any of the less mainstream stuff ever makes it to the air, even now. You’d think this same rotation would be getting stale by now.
And, the morning show — forget about it. I can’t even turn on this station if my daughter is in the car. There is no way I could get her to school without her hearing something a child at elementary age should never hear from Dean and Rog. Sometimes this kind of banter can be funny but it is the same old thing day after day and it is about as predictable as the song they’ll play after the station ID.
For one of the biggest markets in the United States, this is really disappointing radio. It is only a matter of time before the repetition gets to be too much and they change formats.
Let’s hope it doesn’t take too long.

The Arrow is Houston’s signature «Classic Rock» station. If you go to their website, you can immediately grasp who their targeted audience is. Front and center is a link to «The Arrow Babe Pages» which is filled with hundreds of pictures of bikinis stretched over silicon-​enhanced curves and guaranteed to get a rise out of the 35 to 50 year old male segment of our population who have nothing better to do than ogle ‘em while listening to ZZ Top.
Almost by definition, a classic rock station is going to have a limited play list. The Arrow takes this concept seriously which might explain their need to appeal to a market segment with an average IQ of 75 — after all, being bludgeoned by the same tunes daily over a period of decades could seriously threaten anyone’s mental health.
I love classic rock myself. It defines my generation. So I will listen to The Arrow if it’s playing a song that reminds me of my youth. But sit through a morning of Dean and Rog? Their potty talk and teenage T&A mentality is incredibly tiresome. I’d rather lobotomize myself! (Perhap I would start enjoying them then).
The other reason I’m doling out only two stars? They rarely play Springsteen. Sheeesh!
