Time to start clearing through the backlog of IDs I’ve accumulated. Finally figured out a way to expedite the editing process, which should help considerably on my end.
Tonight’s update is from my visit to SoCal last weekend, flying into LAX in Los Angeles and staying down in Long Beach as I attended New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Strong Style Evolved show. It was a great trip, and luckily I was able to record a wide variety of IDs during my visit.
The uploads includes the first K-Love era 100.3 KKLQ ID to appear on here since the station was purchased by the Educational Media Foundation (possibly the savviest major group station owner in the radio biz today), along with regular and HD2 IDs for 92.3 KRLL and 101.1 KRTH. You might know of KRTH-HD2 as the last remaining terrestrial outlet for Radio Disney, which has shifted almost exclusively to digital/online distribution.
More soon as I begin to work through the backlog. And I should be able to record plenty of stations during my forthcoming trip to New Orleans, which will be my first visit there since 2010.
Also, a friendly reminder that you can follow tophour.com on Twitter: @tophour.
KRTH HD-2 is one of about 35 HD subs carrying Radio Disney. The former CBS (Now Entercom) stations tend to cut in with their own locally produced Legal ID.
Others, like WMYX HD-2 in Milwaukee simply ducks the audio for a quick station ID.
Like before when it was all AM, the network sends out triggers for the IDs and local breaks to fire locally. The network also provides a 30min Public Affairs program early Sunday mornings.
