There is no room for both KDAY and KJLH as Urban AC's. For that matter, there is no room for BOTH stations in this market as neither can survive even if one jumps out of the Urban AC format. I don't expect Stevie to blink and he has no debt, so KDAY, The Beat, whatever it is, must go.
Somebody needs to do Sports and/or KFI-style Talk on FM in Los Angeles. News would be too expensive in this economy to do except for CBS.

KFI is the only AM station in the top 20 18-49... It's time for News and/or a traditional Talk format on FM in L.A. I still think a News/Talk hybrid with News blocks in drive time and some Talk programming in the other dayparts might work well. Bonneville has sure perfected it in other markets.

Bonneville's format, of which ALL were established AM stations that moved to FM, would never work in Los Angeles. Los Angeles needs to be "entertained". I hope you don't mean "traditional" as in the KABC of say 15 years ago. Bonneville would be taking a serious money losing chance as a start up news heavy station by going up against the news resources of CBS at this time. KLSX would be a good candidate to "morph" into a KFI like station on FM, if not as KNX on FM. I can only see Bonneville doing talk without a heavy news presence. ESPN needs to acquire an FM in this market, too. Movin would be the perfect candidate since Emmis won't survive another year without starting to sell assets.Radioresearcher said:4UH8SIMBKAGN said:There is no room for both KDAY and KJLH as Urban AC's.

Stations that must die in 2009: Movin, KDAY and The Sound. KLSX is a runner-up.

It already was.LA_Guy said:KDAY should go Korean. From the Baldwin Hills, it has one of the better FM signals in Koreatown. There are no Korean formatted FM stations (two AMs-1230 and 1540).
There's no Persian FM for West Los Angeles, Vietnamese FM for Orange County and the San Gabriel Valley or Japenese FM for Downtown L.A. and parts of West L.A.. So what is your point? None of these will ever work or happen in this economy.
I believe the 93.5's were Korean at some point in the early 90s. I used to live in the IE and got 93.5 KRZE "The Breeze" which I would listen to a lot. Then one day, it combined signals with KFOX in Redondo Beach and went all Korean. So I guess it's been tried already.
Similarly, 96.7 in OC was either Korean or Vietnamese in the early 90s right after AC KWIZ-FM signed off and before it went Spanish.
106.3, I believe is still all Vietnamese.
Anyways, why would you want an FM station to go some foreign language unless you speak and listen to programming in that language? It just reduces our listening choices more in LA Radio.

Does Roy Laughlin still own this station? And if so, how come its not number one?
Not sure where I heard that, but thanks for clearing it up.
