About: The season started with the continuation of the last episode from season one. Most of the season focused on Jeff & Renee's new found relationship, Mr. Caldwell's disappearance, Brent coping with Jeff & Renee finding love and then starting his own relationship with Molly, and a new rival radio station looking to take over KSNZ coming into town. Mandy Springer & Angelica Torres starred as the manager's of KEVL looking to monopolize the easy listening market, and E. Talmadge Hill played "Hank Flenniken" who replaced Brice Russell's "Guy" as Jeff's sidekick DJ, a character much better received by the audience. Mr. Caldwell returned for the last 4 episodes of the series, written out before only because of his unavailability to film. This season marks the show's end for the same reason, as head writers, Lindsay Corbin & Armand Schmidt, were tired of writing around his absence.

This is the first episode to build Jeff and Hank's relationship, replacing Brice Russell's character Guy Ladd from the first season. The character proved much more successful and accepted.
