J. Love Moves To Alice (Was: It's Official)
From today's All Access:
CBS RADIO Hot AC KLLC (ALICE @97.3)/SAN FRANCISCO has hired J. LOVE to do nights, starting TONIGHT (2/9).
Sidebar: At what point does CBS drop the "Alice" and give the station a different identity?

I should have pointed out my two favorite lines in the Alice press release regarding J. Love:
"I can't wait to feel his energy in the building," PD Charese Fruge said.
Wait a second. Wasn't he already in the building, just down the hallway?
"I feel honored and privileged to be working for a heritage station like [email protected]," J. Love noted.
Hold on a second. Alice is now a heritage station? Does that mean that Green 960 will qualify as a heritage station if it can just hang on another three or four years?

Re: J. Love Moves To Alice (Was: It's Official)
My suggestion - BORiN 97.3
Regarding their "heritage" status - I remember that when I returned to college in the mid 90s, Alice, and particularly the Sarah and Vinnie morning show - were the hottest thing on campus with the typical 20 something students. The other stations you'd hear on campus were 98.9 KSOL (when they were still classic soul, K-101 and K-Big 98.1.
So yeah, I guess if you're not an old fogey like me and DJ, you could consider Alice a "heritage" station.

Re: J. Love Moves To Alice (Was: It's Official)
Seems that if a music station lasts 20 years without change, it's considered
"old"...
Why am I suddenly thinking of that 1970 movie "Gas-s-s-s!"??:

Ummm, really? Did you get the news from earlier in this thread? ;D
Re: J. Love Moves To Alice (Was: It's Official)
Or if you're as old as me, Jay - you remember Wild in the Streets...which was actually meant to be a suspense drama. It took the term "never trust anybody over 30" to the absurd level. I was 16 when this movie came out...

Which station was that?

Re: J. Love Moves To Alice (Was: It's Official)
I assume andreajesus means WCBS-FM which (according to the internet) started with Oldies in 1972. But for a couple of years, they were Jack-FM, so if you're talking continuous time with the same format, K-Earth 101 beats it. The Tstation has been KRTH, playing Oldies since 1972 without interruption. In fact, if you count the year or so before that when 101.1 was running Bill Drake's automated "Solid Gold" format as KHJ-FM, that frequency is probably in their 38th year with the same general format.
The story I've heard is - RKO General was planning to flip the station to an album-rock format to compete with KMET and KLOS. That's why the hippie-dippy sounding "K-Earth" handle was chosen. You know, whole earth, the environment, mother earth, etc. But at the last minute, they switched to the Oldies format, which was the first station on the LA FM band to carry that format.

Re: J. Love Moves To Alice (Was: It's Official)
I was thinking the same thing. The switch to Jack can't be considered "without much change."

Oh, while a resident of the Wonderful Island Of Long ("The World's Largest Sand Bar!"), I had numerous occasions to enjoy the listening to lovable WLNG. Greatest friggin' station on the friggin' planet.

WLNG-FM 92.1 - What's The Format?
We're Oldies with Lots of Jingles; however, it's what is between the records that really counts.... At FULL SERVICE WLNG, it's mostly very, very local news, local weather and local information.
