Blog Entry 11 of 31 Naz in L.A.

I am an L.A. bred and based writer. I grew up in Encino across from Balboa Park and in Tarzana in a seniors-only condominium. These are my stories - all of which revolve around the L.A. axis.

The unstable world of radio in Southern California

I'm sad that KMozart had a slow death, from when it was moved off 105.1 FM and placed at 1260AM. Radio in Southern California has gone through so many changes recently, KMozart being one of them, 93.9FM another which suddenly changed from country to the pop music format taking us listeners, and DJS, by surprise. That one was hard to take. But then 105.1FM became Go Country. So radio is constantly changing - like when longtime Arrow FM, 93.1, was taken off and replaced with Jack FM.

The AM replacement slot at 1260AM is now comprised of news and talk including longtime British talk show host Michael Jackson. If this isn't exactly your cup of tea, the weekends are unexpectedly good. The station features a stream of classics from the American songbook.

Since KMozart left FM radio (and sadly, AM radio), listen to 91.5FM for classical music. This is USC's public station and it's important to listen, and support if you can, to maintain classical music over the radio in the L.A. area. It's a great station, and some of the DJs have a wickedly dry sense of humour.
