Houston Earns A Kiss

iHeartMedia Houston yesterday launched a new Urban AC outlet — say hello to 104.5 Kiss FM, “Houston’s Best R&B.” The new station, which is made possible via translator K283CH and an orange extension cord plugged into the HD2 channel of sister KTBZ, features hits from such awesome artists as Mary J. Blige, Luther Vandross, Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Earth Wind and Fire, Anita Baker and Usher.

Beginning October 9, the syndicated The Steve Harvey Morning Show will air weekdays from 5-9am, while weeknights and Sunday nights be the new home of The Sweat Hotel, hosted by Keith Sweat.

Urban Brand Coordinator Michael Saunders commented, “We have a great opportunity to deliver some of the hottest names and music in the R&B industry to the diverse Houston audience combined with spoken word entertainment from some of the biggest names in show business with Steve Harvey and Keith Sweat.”
