Title: A new 10@10 -- in LA
Post by: RGMike on February 25, 2009, 03:12:18 PM
100.3 (The Sound) just started doing their own version of 10@10 earlier this month:

I can't get their player to work but I'll keep trying; could be an alternative until Dave starts doing new shows.  Interestingly, The Sound called itself "World Class Rock" until recently; they're trying to re-invent themselves.And their Music Director is Haley Jones, formerly of KFOG! And Mike Powers is there too  -- Gaz, he has a link on his blog to "Phillies Fever", a disco salute to the team from 1976.

They're a Bonneville station--didn't they own KFOG before Susquehanna? In any case, not tough to theorize that they're trying to recreate the KFOG vibe in LA. They got Powers--wonder if they're gonna cherry-pick any other KFOG talent?

They seem to be struggling a bit, based on what I read on some radio message boards -- they used the "World Class Rock" meme when they signed on last year and were a KFOG-style Triple-A format (making them the 3rd Triple-A in LA). But now they're apparently trying to lean more towards Classic Rock.

Sadly, I can't get the player to work -- you need to download Microsoft's new "Silverlight" media player and I'm unable to install unauthorized software on my work PC.

yes -- that page crashes my browser!  And I've found several other pages with direct links to their "old" stream on WMP and they don't work anymore. Bummer.

I don't remember back that far, but Bonneville does own The Drive.

Quite sure that's true Urth.

I just noticed that they did 1991 the other day, and in the middle of a fairly Moreyesque set (Crowded House, Crash Test Dummies) they played Michael Jackson's "Black & White", an ATBB and one I've been lobbying for, for ages. Most impressive -- I wish I could listen to them.
