YEEHAWWW - I just can't begin to explain how excited, I was when my sister called to tell me that - I now have a country station back in the L.A. area. I live in the I.E. but work in L.A. and loosing that other station was shocking when you have nothing but RAP CRAP.. Thank you so much for thinking of us. Plus it's good to hear the same D.J's back - but I must admit I'm glad not to hear Peter's voice that was one we can do without..WELCOME BACK AGAIN Lil from Upland CA.

We've still got KUSC, but it's sad that LA -- and most likely, any radio market, considering the reasons cited by Levine for pulling out -- can no longer support a commercial classical radio station. I fear for the long-term health of the format.

Country Music was taken off the air on August 17th 2006... Just hours after that a battle was waged by country fans who came together on countryboards.com In October 2006, Saul Levine Flipped 540AM to Country music, Because many of the country music fans could not hear this station more work was done through letters, phone calls and e-mails... In December of 2006 Saul Levine gave the country music fans in Los Angeles and Orange County 1260AM, January 8th Shawn Parr was brought in to do the morning show with Robin Banks from 6-10AM... The country fans asked for more, because there were still SO many fans that could still not hear the station at home or at work or even in their cars so more letters, more phone calls and e-mails went out asking ANYONE to give us FM country music we could all hear... Saul Levine again came to our rescue... Friday February 23rd the announcement is made... Country Music is BACK the FM dial in Los Angeles and Orange County!!! Starting Monday February 26th 2007 at 6AM tune in to 105.1FM and hear the country music you love so much! Country will remain on 540AM as well. 1260AM will be K-Mozart Classical music. Join the celebration at www.countryboards.com and spread the word about the stations website at: www.gocountry105.com - Go Country 105.1FM Please help us to support Country music in LA and Los Angeles by using your resources at the paper to be able to spread the word about this station... about a fight country fans started 6 months ago and the history that will be made on February 26th at 6AM

So classical music moves to 1260 AM. We haven't been able to pick up 1260 in the San Gabriel Valley at night - ever! Saul levine tried all Beatles, all show tunes, ... he even tried all traffic. Perhaps it's time for him to try all silence as a format - except for an occasional commercial.

Doesn't he mean they're changing the call letters to KKGO?
