4/10.6/03 - FYI - NYC - "77 WABC Personality - The Larry Elder Show." More at www.wabcradio.com/showdj.asp?DJID=15295. Larry's tip. I did listen when Larry was a local (L.A.) show but not much since he went national. Could be KABC lost some of their L.A. listeners. Now, John & Ken (L.A. and local) get most of my afternoon attention. P.S. - The term "South Central Los Angeles" was replaces yesterday with "South Los Angeles" by our city council. That'll fix all their problems!

4/10.5/03 - Did San Diego's David Tanny leave radio coverage? At the radio site it says "Editor: David Tanny Wayne Lewis...," with David Tanny name crossed out.

4/8.8/03 - Is the BBC anti-war? I remember one source mentioning that the BBC seemed to be rather anti-gulf-war, but I haven't heard enough BBC to know. Does anyone have an opinion? At one time the BBC was thought of as the most even-handed news service.

4/8.7/03 - "Kim Komando Computer Show 7-8A" on Saturday says the KLSX 97.1 FM site. She does a three-hour show but one hour is better than nothing. At 7a this should be the first live hour of her show. She's been gone from L.A. radio for years?, so welcome back Kim.

4/7.4/03 - Larry King (or Dodgers), Mon-Fri, 8-9p, KFWB 980 AM. I'm going to stop reporting on Larry's shows during the baseball season since he's so often bumped by the Dodgers. Keep an eye on www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/larry.king.live/ (and in Reminders), but even that gets bumped. And/or check the Dodger's schedule at losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/la/schedule/la_schedule_calendar.jsp. The Dodgers seem to be off mostly on Monday.

4/5.5/03 - When will KFWB carry Larry King, rather than the Dodgers? I'm not sure, but the Dodger schedule at losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/la/schedule/la_schedule_calendar.jsp may help.

However, they will add a War Show perhaps noonish, perhaps two hours on Sat and Sun. Ex-captain Dale Dye with a page at www.kfi640.com/daledye.html will host the show, but it doesn't say when. KABC has been doing a weekend war zoo show, but who knows if that will continue? NPR?

4/4.14/03 - Correction to the 4/3.12/03 Flash. Dumb 'Hot Talk' KPLS 830 AM now plays Neal Boortz in their Mo-Fr 7-9p slot. Neal, who I believe has not been on in the L.A. area recently, wins awards from someone, but I found his show somewhat boring. His site is www.bortz.com/. I'll try listening to KPLS enough to fill in their evening schedule, since they can't do it.
