KDAY back in day mixes

This latest incarnation is my favorite thing to happen to LA radio in the past 10 years. Their weekend mixes are outstanding, and their playlist is focused, yet I still find myself saying "I haven't heard this in years". They do an outstanding job of adding a song, giving it decent rotation, then moving on to another hit. Their mix shows, though, are especially adept at playing a terrific mixture of hip hop "standards" like "California Love" while still adding the element of surprise.

Oddly, even without playing current music, they still sound more fresh and original than KPWR.
 
Same here its like old days remeber when 100.3 The Beat had weekend mixes. I wish they had a stronger signal its sucks here in Pasadena.

Challenge is - their numbers are all Men 18-34 and that's a very hard demo to sell.

18-34 buys are disappearing and most of the 18-49 buys are adult or female.
 
That's me. Male, 25.

I was in L.A. last weekend and kept hitting up KDAY. There's something about flying down the San Bernardino Freeway past El Monte graffiti listening to Old Skool Rap that makes L.A. fun.

Well I am a 29 year old male- so that makes sense. It certainly is the music of my generation, along with Roq of the 90s weekends on KROQ and similar programming on KYSR. Of course, KYSR leans more female and probably a little older, so they can still attract the buys. Plus, neither alternative station is saddled with as weak of a signal as KDAY.

Isn't the use of all caps considered poor posting etiquette?  Also, some punctuation would make your posts easier to read.  :)
