Okay, this is a five-year-old thread and of course we know that KLSX changed call letters to KAMP, but since Don Barrett's LARAdio.com will be on hiatus for the coming week, I'm sharing the June 30 Rewind here. Lucky you!
LARadio Rewind: June 30, 2009. KLSX changes call letters to KAMP. The 97.1 frequency was home to KKLA, 1947-51. In 1954 the frequency was reactivated as KFMU. In 1968, the station was purchased by George B. Storer, owner of dawn-to-dusk KGBS-1020, and became KGBS/fm. The fm became KHTZ in 1979 and KBZT "K-Best 97" in 1985. A year later, with the slogan "Our name spells Classics," the station switched to classic rock as KLSX. Beginning in 1995, KLSX aired a talk format on weekdays and music on Saturday and Sunday. In February of 2008, KROQ program director Kevin Weatherly had created the CHR "AMP" format for KCBS-FM's HD2 channel. The format moved to 97.1 on February 20, 2009, when the new "AMP Radio" launched with 10,000 songs in a row, commercial-free. The airstaff includes Carson Daly, Michelle Boros, Chris Booker and Casey McCabe.
