All right kids, here are the stories that made us cry, laugh, curse, la la la la la la.

Infinity dumps Arrow for Jack

KXOL dumps Spanish AC for Hurban(Latino 96.3). Emmis files a lawsuit because of a clause that in exchange for KXOL being on KPWR's backup tower, KXOL can't directly compete in format. Suit settled, KXOL moves to KROQ's tower.

Joe Grande joins KLAC 570

Doug Steckler fired from KLSX

Steve Harvey leaves, John Salley joins KKBT

Uncle Joe Benson returns to KLOS

Johnie Kaye moves from KOST/KBIG to KRTH

Mancow joins KLAC

Russ Oasis briefly invests in KDAY 93.5, then changes his mind.

Roy Laughlin leaves Clear Channel

Dr Gene Scott passes on

570/690/1150 all make changes, Liberal Talk comes to 1150, sports goes to 570 and standards is on 690.

Dick and Justice let go X103.9

830 loses Radiovisa

KLSX becomes Free FM, Loses Stern, gains sister KROQ Loveline Host Adam Carolla

Joe Mcdonell leaves KSPN

China Smith passes

Jennifer York and John Tesh join KFSH, Lauren Kitchens exits.

Lite FM 92.7 becomes Jill FM

Clear Channel tweaks KBIG, KYSR, both go Recurrent/Gold

KBIG briefly tries Angels in Waiting 5 nights a week, but dumps it altogether
in favor of more Boogie Nights.

Danny Bonoduce, Jason Pullman and Lisa Fox fired from KYSR

KNX and KCBS 2 leave Hollywood Square

The KKGO calls return to 1260, Saul Levine gives us a 25th variant of Adult Standards

KRTH hires Hollywood Hamilton, watches ratings sink, adds 70s, watches more ratings sink

KOST got two christmas competitors. KZLA and KFSH decided to be all Christmas too.

I seem to recall Joshua Escondo (sp?) departing KBIG.

that Khani Kaye is moving to KRTH...

No. Mainly because we know that whatever we say, you will want to somehow twist our words into "proof" that you are "right".<P ID="signature">______________

Re: Looking back at 2005 - Revisit predictions?

Wow,

I'm just looking for a fun-hearted look back at last years predictions.
Why else do we make them?

Anybody, am I picking this fight?

Re: Looking back at 2005 - Revisit predictions?

There easily could be an agenda behind your suggestion. But so what? It's part of the fun.

I just looked. No one seemed to take it too seriously. Oh, well. I could find a ton of predictions made by everyone that were wrong, but I'm trying to have a life.
