U Section |
In the Daily News. Sandy's "One the Radio" column is every other Friday from 11/15/02. Fred and Sandy also do other misc radio columns. May have to search for names? | |
Daily (in print) | Los Angeles Times (LAT) paper
10/20/02 - Even more changes as of 10/13/02 - the names of columns that could contain radio info have been changed. 8/17/02 - File names or whatever were changes this week, so my old links and searches may not work. |
'radio station'. 'radio'. "Around the Dial". "TV & Radio". Do click on "more TV & Radio." "Quick Takes". "In the Know". "Radio Station Guide". Newspaper. Calendar. |
'_' is a search, "_" is a column. Note 2. Web site is poorly organized for finding radio info, but try these. Old stuff deleted 10/02: Fri's "Around the Dial" was their occasional radio column and Tue-Sat's "Morning Report" (replaced by Quick Takes) could mention radio. Mon's "In the Know" seldom has radio. Some radio items from the paper never appear on the site, like Tips, some items may be delayed for days, and some won't be found with a search. |

Also, see old pages at Misc. and Mags. Notes: 11/27/00 - Can't suggest Tomm Looney's?? own site - seems to be going porno. 1: The URL's filled the whole table and were replaced by 'Here,' etc. Hold the arrow on them or do a view source to see URL. 2: The Los Angeles Times (LAT) newspaper also has some radio info. (A) - Most days there's a short "Radio Tips" list and some days a list of radio stations. Every few months the "Radio Highlights" in the Sunday paper are more comprehensive but usually as uninteresting and out-of-date. All in paper only. (B) - The "Morning Report" column, around page F2 most days or in the "Calender Weekend" magazine on Thursday, may mention radio. A site search may find a few. (C) - The Radio column in the "Calender Weekend" magazine on Thursday by several different writers was so bad it's been gone for months. (D) - A search of the paper and site may find other radio items, but it's mostly a waste of your time. (E) - After (C) ended, there may be a radio column in Friday's Calendar maybe once a month. |
P.S. - Jeff Levy (www.jefflevy.com) some Thursdays in the LAT
does a short Question and Answer (Q&A) computer column. Paper only?
3: The Long Beach Press-Telegram newspaper lists a few shows and some days lists radio stations in their daily radio-tips area. The Sunday paper does list a few shows for Sunday and also a few during the week. Haven't seen this on their web site. Gone?? Chuck Rowe was at www.la-radio.com, but starting 1/2000 or earlier, the site said "Out of Business." 6/00 - now it goes to another type of radio site. 7/2/00 - Now it's a junk site, don't go, it sticks to your shoe - too bad. Radio Gossip at radiogossip.com/ - On 1/26/00 Tomm Looney mentioned another web column in his web column. 6/10/00 - Gone - It did reference other sites, but some content remained. www.radiodigest.com ended about the end of 2000, but site still works. early 01? - Tomm Looney is employed by CCC and halts radio talk. 11/28/01 - www.laradio.com goes from free to $36/year, again. about 5/02 - Bill Mann in San Francisco with a site at www.mannaboutsf.com/. Had sections like "Latest Radio & Television News," "Bill's Other Columns - Hills Newspaper Group," "Web Links," and more. Don't know why he quit. |
