After nearly two decades of radio that brought multiple Austin Music Awards, Jason Dick – the ribald and irreverent host of various 101.5 KROX-FM morning shows – has left the airwaves.
of the long-running drive time program in 2015: “The word ‘personality; is key… Brit Deb O'Keefe is a tattooed jock with a soft spot for unwanted dogs. Jason Dick is a big man with a big love of gambling and sports. Together they clash, click, and make it sound easy. Deb's crank calls aimed at getting an"I love you" from a stranger are comedy gold.”
Their program ran until February of last year, when O’Keefe was fired from the station. At the time, she posted on social media: “Our owner has extreme dislike for me, and used a petty reason to get rid of me… He is a petty, Trump loving moron, who has decimated our staff and affected our company [morale] horribly since he took over, and who has more money than sense.”
O’Keefe’s termination led to a rebranding as Jason Dick & Friends, with Emily Svahn filling in beside Dick and co-host/producer Nick Hadja. Now free of their titular ringleader, his former friends will lead a program once again rechristened as The Morning X, assumably accommodating any future shuffling of personnel. Like O’Keefe before, Dick expressed support for his colleagues in the social media post on his firing.
“On the day you get fired, it’s easy to be angry, and I wouldn’t say I was pleased, but my overwhelming emotion was gratitude for all the opportunities that company afforded me,” Dick tells the. “As for my future, the problem with getting everything you ever wanted when you’re 23 is one day you might be 41 and not have it anymore – so I gotta figure out how to want again, or I’ll be homeless real quick.
“I have many interests, but I have to explore how to turn them into careers. So many people have said to me: ‘you’re such a huge talent, you can do anything you want.’ Maybe it’s my immense talent, but I perceive that as bullshit. If that’s the case, I’d like to play power forward for the Spurs.”Chroniclehas been Austin’s independent news source for over 40 years, expressing the community’s political and environmental concerns and supporting its active cultural scene.

Joseph Kittinger, Who Set Longtime Parachute Record, DiesThe U.S. Air Force pilot who held the record for the highest parachute jump for more than 50 years has died. Retired Col. Joseph Kittinger died Friday in Florida at age 94. Kittinger gained worldwide fame in 1960 when he jumped from a balloon-lifted gondola that took him nearly 20 miles above the New Mexico desert. Dressed in a pressure suit, he hit speeds of over 600 miles per hour before the thickening air and then his parachute slowed him down. Kittinger also served as a fighter pilot during the Vietnam War. He was shot down in 1972 and spent 11 months in a Hanoi prisoner of war camp.
