A Facebook post by Ramírez may confirm the parting of a true San Antonio treasure and one of the city’s most beloved celebrities.
“In the late Dandy Don Meredith’s singing voice, “Turn out the lights, the party is over” Best run of my life! Thank you mi gente, love ya forever and a moon!”
Ramirez has been a part of KXTN for over 22 years, since joining the station in 1993.
This story is still developing, Tejano Nation will have more as it becomes available.

I am from Milwaukee wi and we don’t have a radio station with Tejano music.I could not find a station with Tejano music until I heard about a radio station in San Antonio and was very happy to hear the music i grew up with, music my dad and grandfather listen to and all my family as well. And when i heard Jonny Ramirez well that top it of he is a real tejano and knows what people like to listen to. He and Javi make the station, it will not be the same with out Jonny. I have not hear any other station with musci thant KXTN plays.
Sorry to hear about Jonny Ramirez

My husband is from Texas and I am from New Jersey. He is Latino and I am caucasion. We met and married in Mississippi. My husband introduced me to tejano music and to KXTN. We have listened to Jonny (and all of the other personalities) for many years – KXTN is streaming into our home most of the day and much of the night. Whereas we may not always agree with everything that is said on KXTN, we agree with much – this is what makes the world go round and makes for interesting, fun and sometimes thought provoking conversation. We love the traditional tejano music and the format of the station. Jonny will be sorely missed – we loved his craziness in the mornings! Welcome back Bigg Boyeee – we hope that you, Baby J, Jammin’ J and the rest will continue to stay at KXTN, take our requests, entertain, and play all of those wonderful tejano tunes.

Sorry t hear Jonny has been. Let go . He is a great radio personality and will be missed by listeners .there is a weird change going on in the music business and it’s trickling down to the radio stations . Instead of coming up with new ideas to keep the stations new and fresh , they want to get rid of the one good thing they have .

I think a bunch of us should get together start our own radio station.Have Jonny Ramirez DJ it along with other tejano DJs.Because Tejano music has been around for a very long time.Because when i would get up in the morning to go to school my parents would be listening to tejano music it was a familia thing.Now I’m 59yrs. old and children and my grandchildren know what Tejano music is all about. Tejano music is about our culture our race our way of life. Not about money or politics.This is the only thing that tells us that we have our own music and now other powers that be want to take that away from us. To silence us. To silence our music.

I for one am glad that he’s gone. The format he incorporated was not keeping with traditional Tejano music. All that hip hop, old school tunes and country music made me stop listening to 107.5 and use Pandora more often and also started listening to other stations.

I feel there is not that much `Tejano’ music anymore, that is why the format changed, instead of listening to the same songs over and over. That is why i stopped listening and alot of my friends too. We are part of the ‘Old original tejano BabyBoomers’ groupies. I ‘m also angry that 1350 am, kcor station changed to Christian music now! So i guess we older Hispanics don’t exist! We are not dead yet! Why doesnt a huge city like San Antonio doesnt have a good musica romantica station? Instead of that BANDA (CIRCUS) music.. UNIVISION NEEDS TO LOOK AT san antonio age group too, we have the most spending power !
