RIP 100.3 The Sound

[Slegnaac 2,071]

It was announce that Classic Rock Station 100.3 The Sound has been sold.  In the next 45 days they will change their music format to contemporary Christian.

The Sound started up in 2008 and brought back some of the talent from the heydays of the Might MET - KMET, and KLOS.

Hopefully the veterans like Uncle Joe Benson, Cynthia Fox, Rita Wilde, Mary Price and Mimi Chen (Peace, Love and Sunday mornings) will find a new home where they can continue to bring listeners Classic Rock 'n Roll.

people still listen to the radio?

On the drive to Flagstaff I happened to find this channel leaving rancho and heading up the 15 to Victorville. Pretty good mix but as I got out into the desert it went away and I switched over to Pandora streaming.

Certainly less each year as older cars are replaced with network / satellite enabled cars.

Not even that. I know some people with real buckets that simply add an input jack cable to stream from their phone.

Unless you straight up have a cassette player that requires the tape player input so your Sony CDMAN plays.

I listen to this station at work on my computer.  It's not just about the music (which I love, being an hippie chick), but listening to the stories that Uncle Joe Benson tells about the artists and songs is cool.  Oh well, back to pandora or amazon.

My employer has a fit about stuff like this. Most of our facilities are in rural areas, and we don't have the greatest internet service to begin with. Streaming eats up so much bandwidth that if many people do it, it slows everything down for everyone else.

Ugh. The Sound has long been my favorite radio station. That sucks

[arch stanton 9,825]

That's how I felt when KMET got sold

[Tank 25,267]

Didn't this station also go by Pirate Radio for awhile?

[Tank 25,267]

They've been the FM home of the Rams this season.

Yep. Pirate Radio was awesome but KNAC was the best.

Who was that idiot morning DJ on Pirate Radio?  He was supposed to revolutionize LA radio in the morning.

And the shirt is really tight and I've got a AW body so my gut and moobs are proudly on display.

Damn, that seems like so long ago.

The Sound was the best "rock" station out there. The radio now is either country, shitty rap, or Jack FM type that spans multiple decades of the same crap.

They've been broadcasting Rams games on there this season.
