Meruelo Media, owner of KLOS and other LA stations, now has a TV & performance space where it can present live music performances, much like KCRW.

Lights, Camera Action: Meruelo Studios Bridges Gap Between Artists, Listeners And Advertisers.

The Black Crowes, who have sold 30 million albums, performed an early afternoon private Rock Room show for contest winners of Meruelo’s heritage rocker KLOS last Thursday in Studio B, preceded by an interview with the station’s Matt Pinfield and Marci Wiser. KLOS has a 34-year history with the band.

At one time this was a popular feature at many iHeart stations. Fans could attend acoustic performances by artists. They use the facility for audience outreach and advertiser placement.
