Our long, weird, and occasionally frustrating battle with Instagram is finally over \u2014 and honestly, we landed somewhere pretty cool.<\/p>\n
Somewhere along the way, we were effectively locked out of our old FMX Instagram account, the one you knew as FMXRocks. Now, before you say, \u201cWait\u2026 you were still posting there?\u201d \u2014 yes, technically. But only in the most awkward way possible. We could only cross-post from Facebook. That meant if we grabbed a quick concert photo, a backstage moment, or something we just had to share in real time, Instagram said, \u201cNope.\u201d That\u2019s not how a rock station should live.<\/p>\n
So we took a breath, rolled up our sleeves, and decided it was time to fix it properly.<\/p>\n
Why Changing Handles Wasn\u2019t Easy For FMX<\/p>\n
Finding a new Instagram handle isn\u2019t as simple as you\u2019d think. First, there are people who squat on usernames and never use them. Second, \u201cFMX\u201d turns out to be extremely popular in the racing world. That narrowed the field fast.<\/p>\n
At the same time, we wanted something that actually meant something \u2014 not a random workaround, not a compromise that didn\u2019t feel like us.<\/p>\n
FMX Is Rooted In Lubbock, Always<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the thing: The RockShow reaches five radio markets. Renee Raven absolutely dominates weekends in over a dozen national markets. We do well elsewhere, and we\u2019re proud of that.<\/p>\n
But we\u2019ve always known where we come from.<\/p>\n
