Please tell me, which one is the hottest radio station in LA and which type of music do they play?
Best radio station in LAimpossible to answer. everyone has different tastes.
Best radio station in LAThe most influential radio station is KCRW (88.9) - their morning program, Morning Becomes Eclectic, along with the night time djs (Jason Bentley and Garth Trinidad) - are the best (kcrw.com has live streaming). Then there%26#39;s KROQ (106.7), which seems to have hit a peak in the mid-90s. And Jack (93.1) is new and great. But satellite radio is raplacing terrestrial radio more and more.
There are other stations that play top 40, but the stations that get #1 again and again are the spanish language stations.
Yeah, the ratings have been a bit volatile lately.
KIIS (102.7), which plays mostly pop music with reggaeton (sp?) and hip-hop added to the mix, just made a huge press release about how they just got back #1 rating from Power (KPWR, 105.9). They were only able to do it by more heavily rotating hip-hop and reggaeton than they had in the past. Power plays mostly hip-hop.
KROQ has its niche market of rock music (all kinds of rock - punk, hard, old school, alternative, with certain pop rock, etc), but like was said above, it peaked in the 90s. It still has a pretty solid following, though.
Depends on what type of music you%26#39;re into. I like hip hop, so the two top stations for that are: Power 106 (KPWR) and 100.3 The Beat (KKBT). If you%26#39;re into Jazz, it%26#39;s 94.7 The Wave(KTWV). Alternative it%26#39;s KROQ.
KIIS 102.7 is back to #1 in LA. But for a while, the top stations in LA were Spanish-speaking radio stations.
Thanks for your information!
When I was in California the last time six years ago I was listening to a station 91.x or something like that. Music was great.
I think I will try all your proposals in two weeks.
Indie 103.1 is FAR superior to KROQ now.
91X is out of San Diego. The signal usually doesn%26#39;t reach all the way up to L.A.
Sinbce virtually all of the music they are playing now is garbage, the best radio station in LA is KABC, 790 AM -- conservative talk radio!
Don%26#39;t worry Bigthomase. Most people in LA don%26#39;t consider KABC the best station. The right wing talk shows are losing a large fraction of their audience.
To hear another side altogether, try the Pacifica station, KPFK.org.
I like Jack 93.1 a lot.
mlf
Before 93.1 switched to the ';Jack'; crap, it played pretty good music -- wasn%26#39;t it KLSX, Classic Rock? Now, it is a mix of all sorts of stuff, sure to play stuff that offends all of the listeners. I like about 30% of the music, and the people who like the other 70% hate the 30% I like.
If you want good music, bring your i-pod or CDs, so you are not dependent on what some DJ is paid by the studios to push!
