An online return of the original KNX-FM!

I hadn't heard about this film, and have no idea who the cast will be, but I'm imaging Samuel L. Jackson saying a lot of "M_____F______ers" while spilling a lot of fake blood, KHJ air checks in the sound track. Maybe Tarantino could bring back comedian Steven Wright to do some DJ bits. He couldn't do RDS...Humble Harve, maybe?

Tarantino I can only wait for the other shoe to drop on this dude. The metoo movement has overlooked this guy. The only reason he cast Sam Jackson all the time is so he can getaway with the liberal use of the "N Word".

Llew: Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio as a faded TV actor and his stunt double in a changing Hollywood is the one-sentence synopsis. Given the accuracy he's exhibiting in re-creating storefronts, advertising and other elements of 1960s L.A., I'd bet against his having someone play a KHJ jock. That's why he wanted as many unscoped 1969 KHJ airchecks as he could get his hands on.

Samuel L. Jackson is not in the cast. Kurt Russell, Al Pacino and Bruce Dern are.

Turns out it is on the TuneIn App. Drove home listening to it last night. The guys behind this are Dale Berg, Pat Veling and James Cole. Cole's dad was Vice President of CBS' FM group and oversaw KNX-FM. It appears the story Don Barrett told that ChannelFlipper referenced about keeping New York in the dark regarding what KNX-FM was doing was apocryphal. Cole's dad got regular airchecks from KNX-FM, which is how James came to know and love the station.

Great for them. Found them on TuneIn as well.
 
Segue cues tight vs loose

Gregg. said:
... The end cues are a bit too tight. One song hasn't faded much and the next song starts. Or a jingle begins. If a song ends with a mellow outcue, maybe a single piano note, we hear the next event very quickly. Again, I remember the cues being looser on WKTU and WYNY. Unless the producer thinks in today's world, we don't want a brief pause between events, even if that's the way Mellow Rock stations used to sound.

When a song ends and the next element begins is a matter of pacing to that song's tempo. An astute programmer uses today's software tools to mark the best point in a fade to indicate when the next song or jingle should start. It's a time-consuming effort for all tunes in the library. It's also an "attention to detail" thing that separates the "good enough" from the best and original. Plus, the music is often mixed in "key," which is another audible signature of a PD/Music Director and cleverly constructed music stream.
