Did he talk about model's information getting posted on Craigslist too, or did he skip over that topic like you did in the other thread?

PICTURES

I won't listen I just want to see goddamned pictures!!!

Basically he's a douche.

97.1 free fm is now a Top 40, because of the format change they lost all their talk radio.. ex. Tom leykis , adam carolla, heidi frank etc.

That would be a welcome return

I know I am soooo bummed :( I loved Frosty Heidi and Frank :( :(

How about an article? "LA Radio Heading Towards The Shitter", Says Adam Carolla

He was like morning coffee for me. Damn shame. He was/is great.

Haaha :1orglaugh

ty - good read

that sounds nice and juicy

I was glad to see that Frosty, Heidi & Frank would no longer be on the radio in LA, their show was terrible. I will miss listening to Leykis though, Frank said that all the talent at KLSX agreed to take a pay cut to stay on the air but Leykis was the only host who would not take a pay cut. Tom's decision to not take a pay cut is what caused the format change according to Frank. However, Tom said Frank is a liar, he was never approached to take a pay cut and Tom challenged Frank to provide evidence that Tom was approached to take a pay cut.

I remember when Adam Carolla started at KROQ back in the day

I can not comment on accusations regarding some 3rd party talent some studio allegedly screwed over. What do you want from me? I am not in the broadcast department. I suggest you email them if you have a problem with talent. I am in the business of making affiliates money, not dealing with models.

If you have a personal problem with me lets get it out in the open right now, otherwise quit talking out the side of your neck.

I would LOVE to hear more about this.....

Adam Carolla sound like a cool dude.

LA radio was already in the shitter. By getting rid of 97.1 and 103.1 becoming a much-needed spanish language station we've now officially flushed.

Also curious about the above, though I don't much care for Carolla.

I loved his morning show. one of the few people that actually make me laugh out loud

It's not just LA radio this is happening to. Opie and Anthony lost a lot of their Citadel markets despite high ratings, because it was cheaper for Citadel to pay a low wage disc jockey to push buttons and play songs than it was to pay O+A's syndication fees. The bottom line is the ad market for radio stations is in the shitter, and if they can't sell ads it doesn't matter what your ratings are. I listen to Opie and Anthony on XM Sirius, but if XM Sirius goes bankrupt I don't know what I'll listen to...

Not a chance.

I would hope like hell stern NEVER comes back. in fact I wish he would just go away period. his retard and fart jokes got old after 1 season.

I miss tom lyekiz

who listens to LA radio?

The reason was simple. Due to the bad economy, KLSX switched from talk radio to Top 40.

The ratings were good, Leykis was # 1 on dive time and they still have to pay them all for 10 months. Bad move IMO.

ahh yes.. the same problem with CEO's being criminals, and oprah being a God

Carolla should have stayed on Loveline with Dr. Drew. Him and Drew became too Hollywood. I can't even watch the celebrity rehab shit anymore...lost so much respect for Drew.

i might check out adam's podcast but i am not crazy about most of his rants though i believe he is a gifted with words.
listened to tom for a few years, but finally couldnt stand listening to the same shit over and over again, nothing new..

that can't possibly be true. they didn't decide to change the format of a radio station based on tom lykis. thats a massive change and those shows all made piles of money, were syndicated across the nation etc. the format change had nothing to do with the hosts or the affiliates that got fucked.

How dare you insult MY Dr Drew! I've had a crush on him since I used to be in highschool and I would smoke pot and listen to loveline every night.. Dr Drew is dreammmmy.. I want him to put me in rehab and bend me over his knee and spank me for being a bad little girl!!:)

The music they play on 97.1 is fn horrible. I've tuned in 3 diff times since the change and it was the same fn song all 3 times.. It was tradition for me to get a smoothie from Robeks and listen to Frosty Heidi n Frank on my long drive home from KB's 2x a week, now I have to listen to my IPOD, ugh :(

You are in luck then Aaliyah, here is the new podcast, w/ Dr. Drew as the guest: http://cioffi.cachefly.net/2009.02.24ACP.mp3

wow, i just got aroused...

Yes, from what I hear, the ratings were good. However, KLSX was paying Tom Leykis, Adam Carolla, and all their other radio jockeys so much money, that is was not a profitable business in this economic environment.

they are still paying them

Right, from what I've heard, all of the main disc jockeys are having their contracts honored through 2008, but only because KLSX has to honor those contracts or face lawsuits. All of the co-hosts only get two week severance packages.

ooooh thanx Tim!:) I'm gna go listen to it now and masturbate to Dr Drew's voice hehe
