Radio Shake Up

Remember 92.3 “The Beat”? Remember when 100.3 and 92.3  switched? Remember what 100.3 was before it was “The Beat”? Remember 93.5 KDAY, the first time in came out way back in the day? Neither can we anymore.

 

With so many changes on local radio over the years, we’re happy to see that some of the biggest urban radio stations in Los Angeles are about to do what we’ve wanted them to do for years- merge.

 

Now we don’t have to ignore 100.3, because it stop playing rap last year and we don’t have to be annoyed by KDAY for it’s weak, staticky frequency. Plus we’ll get to enjoy comedian Mo’Nique as she will be getting her own daily show (3 to 7 p.m.) that starts on July 23. We’ll also join the rest of the free world in getting to know radio personality and diva Wendy Williams whose show is already airing on afternoons in New York, Los Angeles, and a million points on the map in between.

 

It’s kind of like we’re getting the best of the urban radio world with this new station to be called “The Beat of the L.A.- No Color Lines.”

 

Watch out Power 106.
