KLOS needs to target our purchasing power and the way to do that is with metal, not with hippie rock for people still driving Volkswagens and painting daisies with their fingers.
You're kidding right? Most of us old hippies haven't owned a Bulova watch since high school. I've had the large magnafication over the date on all my watches since college. Still like the original KLOS format!

A fair number of working class white and Hispanic people like this music also.

I heard Neon Knights this afternoon. BTW, is that the same key as Crazy Train?

Sweet! Still going to mainly listen to Sirius channels like Octane, Boneyard, and Hair Nation but it's good to know they are doing this!

Keep in mind there are 2 parts to that equation.


Median income * total population.

I used to love KNAC back in the day, I think we're dating ourselves a bit here, but man, I remember it being a great radio station.


Ozzy's Boneyard on Sirius is pretty close to what KNAC was back then.

Liking his music choices, but he must be one of the slowest, practically lethargic-speaking dj's I've ever heard, light years away from the usual manic hyperverbal types. Xanax, anyone?
