KIX-KLASH RE-HASH
March 24, 2026
Tuesday 24th March 2026
Pack the Backpack, presented by Central Office Supply, a division of Minuteman and Kix 101.1! Each month during the school year, we will be awarding $101 to a Kix Country classroom to help out with supplies. We will award the prize on the last Wednesday of the month. You can listen to each new winner at 8:30a on the Morning Kix Start.
Our January winner is 5th Grade Math/Science Teacher, Mrs. Karen Roseland at East Marshall Middle School. She was nominated by a grandparent and student that is in Mrs. Roseland’s class. Here is what Tracy and Sophia wrote to Kix 101.1.:
Sophia Raye Juarez would like to nominate, Mrs. Karen Roseland, her 5th grade teacher at East Marshall middle school. Sophia has been out of school with a brain tumor since October 5, 2021. Mrs. Roseland has been in touch with Sophia and I, her grandma every week. When we sold bracelets for Sophia, Mrs. Roseland and her family purchased them for Sophia’s whole grade.
We want to help Mrs. Roseland out by having her get what she needs to teach her class. So Sophia hopes you chose Mrs. Roseland for this special contest.

Welcome to The List,
Keith Urban is officially boarding the yacht rock cruise. The country star says a full covers album is coming. It will feature classic yacht rock songs and only one original track. He even teased fans with a smooth cover of Stephen Bishop’s “On and On.” No release date yet. But apparently Keith brought boat shoes.

ABC may be ready to dump The Bachelorette for good. Insiders claim executives now call the franchise “toxic.” Critics say the show stopped being about love and started chasing messy drama. Ratings have been sliding for years. The big question inside ABC now is simple. Is it finally time to pull the plug.
-----
Travis Kelce is apparently running an investigation. Someone has been leaking details about his wedding plans with Taylor Swift. Sources say Travis is trying to figure out who is talking. He is also trying to keep Taylor calm about the chaos. Because nothing says romance like a celebrity leak hunt.
-----
Luke Combs just turned Las Vegas into a country concert record book. His show at Allegiant Stadium pulled in 70,921 fans. That breaks the stadium record previously set by a massive boxing match. Country music just beat prize fighting in Vegas. Luke Combs basically threw the knockout punch.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
What weather event happens when warm air and cold air meet?
