It was an odd homecoming, Ryder advised Selection, which sat in with the DJ throughout his debut shift with the station that had employed him for 30 years earlier than summarily dismissing him and his crew simply weeks into the pandemic.

“[I]t feels like home and it also feels like the craziest, weirdest outer space thing in my life,” he advised the outlet Tuesday. “What a strange situation, pulling up to the building and looking at it in the parking lot and remembering where the ticket thing is and where I need to get it punched and all of that.”

And he didn’t maintain in his emotions in regards to the individuals who have been then operating the radio station.

“The new people in charge now, they weren’t here for the building of the World Famous KROQ,” Ryder stated throughout his 2020 farewell broadcast. “I don’t think it means anything to them. It’s a numbers business, and there’s no family aspect to it anymore. It’s only numbers.”

Megan Vacation, who beforehand coated the afternoon drive shift, will now host the night present, station proprietor Audacy stated within the Tuesday launch. And based on Selection, Ryder is nearly completed with a guide about his first 30 years with KROQ. Nearly.
