Get Well Soon, Buzz Adams!
Thanks to a Friday update from KLAQ PD Kevin Vargas, there is some good news: contrary to previous reports, Adams’ jaw and arm were not broken — just badly bruised, although his facial injuries remain the focus. Adams will need some extensive reconstructive dental surgery before he’s able to get back in the KLAQ morning saddle, where he has reigned for the past 25 years. As Vargas told RAMP, “We’re meeting today to make a long-term plan because by then we should have an accurate timetable for his processes and recovery.”
In the meantime, the show’s remaining cast — Lisa Sanchez, Brandon Coates and Joanna Barba — will continue to roll on at flagship KLAQ and the Buzz Adams Radio Network — KEYJ (Rock 108)/Abilene, KBAT/Midland-Odessa and KNRX/San Angelo. Sanchez wished her co-host well, commenting, “I was afraid Buzz was in a mid-life crisis until I heard it was a motorized bicycle.”
