INSITE EXCLUSIVE: 96.1 THA ZONE SHUT DOWN!

THE PLUG HAS BEEN PULLED IN ACRES HOMES!

The Insite was first to report that Acres Homes radio station 96.1 Tha Zone was visited by the Federal Communications Commission on Friday. The special agent gave the station, that has no license to operate, a verbal warning to shutdown or face the consequences. That meant the confiscation of their equipment and jail time for the owner. K.P. Hearns tells The Insite he will do everything possible to try and get a low power FM radio license. He says for the last year and 3 months he’s been unsuccessful. But Hearns says he has the support of Shelia Jackson Lee, Jarvis Johnson and Sylvest Turner. He’s hoping the political heavyweights will stand by him when the time comes. Until then 96.1 Tha Zone will remain silent to its estimated 14,000 Acres Homes listeners.

CITY COUNCIL MEMBER CAROL ALVARADO’S BIRTHDAY PARTY!

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY – IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY!









Houston city council member Carol Alavardo held her annual birthday party Friday night. It was held at The Rice in downtown Houston. Several familiar faces were at the party to help the 3 term council member to celebrate her day of birth. On hand for the event were Mark Campos, Pam Gardner, James Rodriguez, Wendy Montoya, Giovanni Garibay and Carol’s family. Here are some of the pictures I snapped at the event. According to the invitation the party also served as a fundraiser for Alvarado. I missed a lot of people because I got there very late after leaving Misty Stark’s skate party. The Insite had to stop back by FOX and use the showers there and change from my skating gear because I didn’t want to leave Misty’s smelling musty or like a banchee. What is a banchee? Anway, here are the photos – enjoy!

MISTY STARKS CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY ON ROLLER SKATES!

EVERYONE WAS ON 8 WHEELS WITH STARKS!






Houston Defender reporter Misty Starks proudly celebrated her 30th birthday by reverting back to childhood in phase 4 of her celebration week. The party was held at Skate Rink on Dairy Ashford Friday night. Several of Misty friends showed up for the event that included cake and nachos. Unfortunately, there was no smoking section or bar in a skating rink full of kids but it was unlimited fun. However, The Insite came to the realization that he can no longer skate like at the age of 15. He now skates like the 30+ crowd. But that’s better than Bernadette ‘Powerhouse’ brown. She skates like the 40+ club. Thanks for inviting me Misty. And happy birthday. I won’t be able to make your final phase. I will likely be in my hometown watching my alma matter – Southern University – stomp on TSU for homecoming!
