Mark Schectman
Readers' Choice: Kidd Kraddick KHKS-106.1 FM
He might take over your FM dial only once a week—and on Sunday nights, no less—but Mark Schectman deserves some serious praise for the way he's been running his Local Show on The Edge since taking over the hour-long slot earlier this year. Unlike some of his predecessors, Schectman actually seems to pay attention to the local scene, instead of just relying on the music that just-launched local acts toss the station's way. And his recent play lists have boasted songs from some of our favorites—like RTB2, Matthew and the Arrogant Sea, The Crash That Took Me, Dove Hunter and The Orbans, just to name a few. Secretly, we like to pretend that he's just mining our music section for his play lists each week, but that probably doesn't give Schectman enough credit for a job well done.

I listen to Mark's show every Sunday night. I'm glad that the Dallas Observer recognizes his unique talent. The local music scene in Dallas is very underrated, and by listening to his show, you become aware of how special and talented our music scene really is.
