Meruelo Media has announced rock music expert Matt Pinfield will be joining the KLOS/Los Angeles staff as host of "KLOS New & Approved." Starting on 1/17/21, the show will air each Sunday night from 8pm to 10pm on Southern California's Rock Station, 95/5 KLOS-FM, and be streamed at 955klos.com and on the KLOS and third party apps.

The two-hour weekly show will feature a countdown of the Top 10 new Rock songs in the country, selected new "songs to watch," artist interviews, local band salutes, and historical looks back at what life was like when some of Rock's greatest songs were new.

Prior to this Matt Pinfield had done shows on KFOG-FM during its final years in San Francisco and a show in New York.
 
Sounds promising.

KLOS in recent days has been outstanding from a music standpoint by FM radio standards. Perhaps Mr. Pinfield has played a role in that.
 
"Joining the staff" is an odd way for a station to introduce someone who is going to do a two-hour show on Sunday nights. Will Pinfield be doing anything else at KLOS? Is he now on salary there?

I would hope they're handling him with kid gloves. He's been in and out of rehab for years, most recently last May:

Woah I remember hearing Matt Pinfield was in Rehab during the time Cumulus was getting revamping KFOG San Francisco before they decided to sell KFFG San Jose to EMF and convert KFOG to KNBR-FM as a sports talk station. He was part of the final years of KFOG-FM prior to its flip.

When it was just a shadow of its former glory. It was sad to watch the demise of KFOG.
