10/2000 Radio Flashes (to save space, for example, 6a means 6 a.m., 8p means 8 p.m., & midn means midnight)

11/1/00 - Sounds like Michael Jackson on KRLA may have the next job lined up, but he won't discuss details yet.

-------------------------------

10/31/00 - I may not even try a full verification or update to my Radio Favorite pages in November or December 2000 due to pending changes. Like, KRLA goes sports (all or mostly??) 12/1/00, changes at KABC in November, Dennis Prager at KABC moves to KIEV 11/13 for a while, and more. Do keep checking Columns & Columnists and the station web sites for the newest info. They can change faster than I can update my lists.

10/27/00 - KNX Drama Hour - "War of the Worlds" the original 10/31/00, 10 p.m. with Orson Wells. Also, suggest your favorite shows for next year at www.knx1070.com/dramasurvey. Get vote in by Friday 12/8/00.

10/26.2/00 - Heard second hand: Michael Jackson will do something on KABC tomarrow about 1:30 p.m. (try 1-2 p.m.). You may recall he did 30+ years on KABC, was let go, went to KRLA, KRLA goes all sports next month, and his agent said he doesn't want a late-night spot on KABC. Hope they can work it out. Jackson deserves a spot somewhere even if I don't agree on some issues. This came from several sources. Looks like it's connected with 10/26.1/00 Flash below.

10/26.1/00 - Museum of Television & Radio does live radio 10/27 through 11/3/00. See today's LAT Calendar page 36. Check www.mtr.org for the exact schedule. Looks like several shows will be live from there. KABC is tomarrow. Also see Gary Lycan at www.ocregister.com/entertainment/radio.shtml

10/26/00 - For a description of a new satellite radio system and some links see LAT, Tech Times section, page T1. Two links are www.xmradio.com and www.sirius.com.

10/21.1/00 - Check today's www.garyfranklin.com. Gary says there will be format and programs changes at KABC by 11/13/00.

10/21/00 - The www.ronfineman.com site is mostly TV, but the Links page refers to Radio and media sites. One link is www.radio411.com which then links to other radio sites.

10/19/00 - Another science show on the radio is "StarDate" with a site at www.stardate.utexas.edu. I didn't record the details, but the site says it's on KPCC and KNX.

10/16/00 - Sam Rubin's 'entertainment'?? show on KLSX got deleted from my M-F listing cause the last few I've heard sounded more like bad porno. Even worse than the guy before him.

10/15.3/00 - See today's Gary Lycan column at www.ocregister.com/entertainment/radio.shtml . Among other things he confirms KRLA will be sold to ABC and could carry ESPN Radio www.espn.go.com/liveradiotv/?qt=radio as early as 12/1/00. Who needs more sports?? Sure hope the good KRLA hosts find a home on the new schedule or on another local station.

10/15.2/00 - Earth & Sky Radio Series - Heard it in L.A. last night(?), maybe on an FM PBS station but just recorded the web site - earthsky.com. Said they have a free lunar calendar, but didn't see it. Site seems to have lots of science info and links, etc.

10/15.1/00 - Arbitron has a site at www.arbitron.com, but I don't see the numbers on their site. You may have to pay for that.

10/15/00 - Yesterday's LAT, page F10 had the newest spring Arbitron ratings for the top 25 stations. I can't view today , but I'm sure I link to Arbitron somewhere. For talkers, KFI-AM is #9, KLSX-FM is #17, and KABC-AM is #21. For mostly news, KNX-AM beat KFWB-AM, but they don't give the numbers. Tripod's editor appears to let me enter but not view.

10/14/00 - KCSN's schedule for the BBC World Service is variable. Not on Sunday?, other days start at 11p or midn, and some days end at 5 or 6a. Check their site for exact details.

10/11/00 - Be sure to check this week's column by Gary Lycan for news about Clear Channel, KXTA, KLAC, KFI, etc. Also, KRLA and KLAC could change formats.

10/8/00 - Remember, for old-time radio info try www.old-time.com. Almost too much. SPERDVAC is at www.pe.net/~rnovak/sperdvacx.htm.

10/7/00 - From an email - Richard Wagoner's Waggy Awards (Sept. 15, 2000) only mentioned a few radio programs. Here's a sample of intelligent talk programs from my web site at https://members.tripod.com/~chinesecookery. See the Radio Favorites section for schedules, web sites, reviews, etc.
