Alt 105.3 Elvis + DK

L

Len Bias

Elvis Duran announced a new co-host, DK. https://twitter.com/ElvisandDK

On her twitter, she talked about her love for Justin Timberlake. Elvis is pleasant enough, but with his corny dad jokes and daily tidbits, seems more fitting for a Hot AC station than an Alternative one. However, I don't know Alt 105.3's target demographics or how they are doing in those fields. I am generally liking their mix of music so far.

Name confusion aside, Elvis was probably the most popular when he was on Wild 107, then Wild 94.9 - IIRC, it was the JV and Elvis Morning Show - earlier in his career
 
They need to get new first names. The Elvis shtick is getting ancient now.

I remember this era well.

But you're forgetting both Elvis and JV got their start on Hot 97.7 (KHQT) in San Jose. I may have been lurking in the hallways of 97.7 back in the day. :)
 
Entercom should just dump this low rated loser of a format / station. I hope they are happy with perennial 1.8 share ratings surveys, because that's exactly what they're going to get with "Alt."
 
FWIW, I enjoy Alt 105 (Live 105). I also listen to KFOG. It's nice having two Alternative stations in the bay area again. February ratings show Alt 105 with a 1.7 share and KFOG with 1.3.
Alt 105 has always had low rating for so many years now. Apparently the station still pulls in enough revenue to justify the format.
 
Might as well call it "Dead 105" now. Seems like it's automated most of the time now also- was listening during prime-time hours a few weeks ago and they were broadcasting SILENCE for more than 15 minutes! I'd heard it while driving and parking, when I got back someone had fixed it but of course the music was still boring.
