The Nicole Sandler Show is broadcast live weekdays 5-6pm Eastern at nicolesandler.com, featuring interviews with newsmakers and commentary about the news of the day.

On June 30, 1994, Gene Autry's Golden West Broadcasters changed the format of its last remaining radio station. From Easy Listening K-Lite KLIT (seriously, those were the call letters) to Southern California's Album Alternative fm 101.9. The new call letters, KSCA, didn't come for a few weeks yet...

This is the transition, starting with a few words from our General Manager Bill Ward, and the first on-air shit, hosted by consultant Dennis Constantine.

I don't know the exact date, but it was in the second half of 1994. Bob Coburn and Joe Benson were both fired from KLOS on the same day. Jim Ladd, then doing nights on KLSX, invited them on his show. I put in a tape and let it roll... I edited out the music and commercials. So enjoy this slice of LA Radio history..
