Radio: That’s the sound of a brand-new radio station starting up in Southern California. Readers respond to Doug McIntyre's retirement announcement. Share this: Long Beach and surrounding communities received an early Christmas gift at 3 p.m. on December 18th, the day that Long Beach Public Radio signed on as KLBP (99.1 FM). If you’re outside of (portions of) Long Beach, San Pedro and Wilmington, you probably won’t pick it up – KLBP is a low-powered FM station that competes with the Inland Empire’s flamethrower signal known as KGGI, which broadcasts on the same frequency. But I was surprised how clearly the station could be heard in South San Pedro as I traveled West on 25th Street and then North on Western; the signal was solid until I approached the Northern end of town when KGGI took over. Interestingly, KLBP was able to break through once more as I got higher in elevation, though this may have been due to the terrain blocking KGGI more than KLBP’s signal strength. Currently, the station is broadcasting a 36-hour loop of programming samples directly from its transmitter site inside the Port of Long Beach. The loop will be updated periodically but it is needed as studios are still under construction. The loop was put on the air in order to meet an FCC requirement for the station to commence broadcasts by December 23rd or lose the license. The group beat the deadline by a week. According to Long Beach Public Media Board (LBPM) member David Alpern, this is going to be a real community station, and the programming samples bear that out. “If you look at the website (klbp.org), you can see some of the current shows. From the American Songbook to local musicians, we hope to have it all,” he explained. LBPM is the umbrella organization holding the license to KLBP. “When I first heard our broadcast coming through my car stereo, it was an emotional moment filled with immense gratitude,” said LBPM President Ashley Aguirre. “We faced so much uncertainty and have been running a race against the clock for so long that it feels like nothing short of magic to finally hear so many familiar voices carried across the air.” Or on the net: You can hear the programming online as well at the website. Interested in hosting a show? Go to the website and apply. The organization has lots of programming time to fill and knows that in a community station such as this, turnover is common. In other words, they need to have programming ready not only now, but in the future as well. This will be a fun station to watch grow. Related Articles. Is radio still enjoyable?

Lots of email came in regarding the retirement of longtime KABC (790 AM) personality Doug McIntyre, as well as a few other subjects. “I was so sad to hear Doug’s retirement announcement last week, I have been listening to him since he came on the air and he is truly an American treasure. His wit, recall, candor and debate skills are as good as it gets! “Thank you so much for including Doug in your column today. He is brilliant at what he does and will be sorely missed. He always made us aware of what the politicians are up to and always had great, informed, guests. Who could possibly replace him. I already told him I could settle for John Phillips or Bryan Suits” — Pat Dunlap. “I really enjoyed your article on “Doug” this morning. If there was ever a more knowledgeable host on AM radio on a wide variety of subjects, I have no idea of who that could be. With his incredible knowledge of music and history he stands alone from all other hosts combined. The guy is just damned brilliant, and I will miss him deeply. I learned a heck of a lot from him and I will forever be indebted.” — Chuck Collins, Yorba Linda. Numerous readers wrote in to recommend “Radio Waves, Life and Revolution on the FM Dial” by Jim Ladd, currently heard on SiriusXM’s Deep Tracks but for many meany years one of LA’s most popular evening DJs as heard on KMET (now KTWV, 94.7 FM), KLOS (95.5 FM) and others. His book, released a while ago, is an excellent choice for anyone who grew up with KMET. Here’s wishing you the best for the new year! That you for being a part of this column! FM Radio History with Veteran Freeform DJs Jim Ladd & Frazer Smith on WTF. I’m a sucker for stories from FM radio’s freeform heyday, a time perhaps a little more hazy in memory because of its coincidence with 70s drug culture. Which goes to say that I enjoyed the Thanksgiving episode of WTF with Marc Maron featuring a breezy live interview with Los Angeles FM radio veterans Jim Ladd and Frazer Smith, recorded live at the LA Podcast Festival this past September. Ladd’s 1991 book Radio Waves: Life and Revolution on the FM Dial was a definite touchstone in my personal education on this pivotal time in radio history. Though he drops no grand revelations, on WTF Ladd gives a capsule history of the development of freeform rock radio in LA, up to its eventual complete strangulation at the hands of consolidation wrought in the post-Reagan era. Still on air with SiriusXM, he also shares some fun anecdotes about receiving listener complaint letters, breaking news about the defoliant Paraquat used by the government on illicit marijuana fields, and forgetting to bring a mic stand when interviewing John Lennon, punctuated by lines of coke and clouds of pot smoke. When Smith comes on to take his turn he, unfortunately, comes off like one of the forced Top 40 DJs that Ladd recalls were what freeform DJs were in opposition to. In fact, he tries to work the audience with the kind of hacky stand-up comedy that Maron and his generation of comedians were rebelling against. Nevertheless, he settles down some over the course of the hour-long interview. Though many recollections of his antics that mostly resulted in getting fired are just a little too exaggerated to ring true, I did appreciate the story behind how he introduced Van Halen to the airwaves, and his good natured banter with both Ladd and Maron keep the episode enjoyable. If you’re less interested in Maron’s opening monologue, advice for listeners struggling to keep it together while visiting family for the holidays, and some quite thoughtful and revealing Q&A from the Podfest audience, you can skip forward to the 21-minute mark to start the interview. In case you’re not otherwise familiar with WTF, I’ll note that it’s probably NSFW unless you’re listening with headphones. Both Ladd and Smith appeared on an episode of Maron’s IFC series, along with radio improv legend Phil Hendrie who appears as a lonely, down-on-his-luck radio DJ in the old school model. That’s also worth checking out.
