The 'Party' has ended at 103.1

As clueless as their djs were, we will still miss our daily dose of cheese.  It is pretty weak that Los Angeles will be without a dance station once again.  Ohh goody... more 'active rock'.  Clear Channel and Infinity = corp crap.


The following comes from http://www.rronline.com/Subscribers/TodaysNews/homepage.htm on the Dec. 15 summary ---

Clear Channel In JSA With Southern California's 'KDL'

Although no official announcement from either CC or Entravision had been issued at press time, sources tell R&R that Clear Channel will soon be selling advertising for Entravision's Los Angeles-area Dance simulcast, KDLD/Santa Monica, CA and KDLE/Newport Beach, CA, via a joint sales agreement. KDLD & KDLE, known on-air as "103.1 KDL," on Friday dismissed their entire airstaff and are now running via automation. That will last until Dec. 21, when the stations will begin airing continuous Christmas music. On Dec. 26, KDLD & KDLE will flip to Active Rock in an attempt to lure listeners and revenue from Infinity's crosstown Alternative KROQ. Look for a new PD for KDLD & KDLE to be announced tomorrow. With the arrangement, Clear Channel will be handling sales for 11 radio stations serving the L.A. market: In addition to its own KBIG, KFI, KHHT, KIIS, KLAC, KOST & KXTA/Los Angeles, CC earlier this year agreed to handle the underwriting needs of the University of Southern California's noncommercial Classical KUSC/L.A. Additionally, Clear Channel's KVVS/Lancaster-Palmdale, CA is a simulcast of KIIS but airs separate commercials.

so that's why it became even worse than before... i couldnt tell for a while whether it was still  a Dance Station on a binge for X-Mas carols or a new station...oh well XM radio here I come

OK, so that was what was going on.  I had friends laughing at me when I had them switch over to 103.1 with all that crappy Christmas music going on.  Though a lot of cheese was played, I still enjoyed the variety it offered compared to all the other crap SoCal stations.  Oh well, guess I gotta burn more CDs.  Thanks for the info jdubb.

Not sure why they had to fire the djs because it isn't like they knew anything about the music they were playing.  They would probably do better with the schlock jock rock format they are switching to.

Is there anything else similar that I can listen to instead?  I listen to KCRW sometimes.  Are there any other stations d3 people listen to

The new 103.1 is pretty good if you like true alternative music.  They play a lot of older stuff from the early 90s. IMHO it is a lot better than the  [smiley=cheesie.gif] they were playing.

What is with the old alternative crap? LA needs a dance station.
Some  [smiley=cheesie.gif] is better than no  [smiley=cheesie.gif].

The old posts just aren't the same without the cheesie smiley.  I actually like the new 103.1, the music is a lot better.  I do agree that LA needs a dance station though, but not one filled with the garbage they used to play.  They still play a few dance tracks now;  I've heard a few different faithless tracks and some chemical brothers. Plus, it is good to hear a station play some pearl jam!
