I think theres a place for a similar format in LA.

It is definitely time to get over this obsession. The Beat is no longer with us and just like everybody else's favorite radio station, it isn't coming back. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's just the way it is. My recommendations for you - satelite and internet.
Please don't feel like your being picked on, I have my own missing stations that will never come back as well. And the recommendations I give to you are the same ones I had to take a long time ago. But believe me, life does go on.
You're right! After all we do have KDAY. Someone told me that KDAY is going after Power 106's old listeners.
I do listen to KMEL on iheart radio app.kilamanjero said:BJordan, KMEL fills that void for you and it streams online at kmel.com. If you have a mobile phone with a browser listen to KMEL via the iHeartRadio app. They give major love to SoCal and NorCal based hip-hop and R&B artists especially during their nearly 8 hour weekend mix shows. You would be impressed and given what you need.
LA urban-oriented radio will get it together. One thing I've realized is that radio companies seem to always notice urban music listeners and consumers since it's one genre that seems always bounce back (in one shape or form) throughout time.
