Vince Richards is back in North Texas, taking on programming duties for KEGL-FM and KZPS-FM, a move that brings a longtime radio executive back to a market he knows well.
Richards is no stranger to Dallas radio, having previously worked in leadership roles in the market and across major stations nationwide. His return marks another chapter in a career that has included programming and operations roles in multiple large U.S. markets.
Both stations carry deep heritage in Dallas radio. KEGL, known for its rock identity as “The Eagle,” and KZPS, a longtime classic rock staple, remain two of the market’s most recognized signals.
The focus now turns to how Richards will shape the brands in a competitive audio landscape where streaming and digital platforms continue to challenge traditional radio listening.
His approach has long emphasized strong local identity and talent-driven programming, a strategy that station observers say fits the current moment in Dallas rock radio.
For listeners, the change signals a familiar name returning to familiar ground — and the start of a new phase for two of North Texas’ best-known rock stations.
