What happened? I turned on my radio today at the 100.3 button and found that the station is no longer the V.
Where did Dianna Steele go? I know she recently moved to 100.2 from 92.3
Thanks,
Sounds good so far. Keep mixing it up!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
Looks great. I would LOVE to listen to a station like that.
I've been looking for something new, I was so glad when I found you yesterday. I am not board listening to the radio. Thanks.
Its awful. How do you take and r&b station and just turn it into that. i liked the old r&b that they played. Where is Diana Steel?
No morning talk show?
I love the change! LA has had two great AAA stations, but none for a long time. I hope this one stays! It's GREAT so far... :) Keep up the good work!
This is what I imagine the old KMET might have evolved into if they would have stuck with rock. They always had a more AAA vibe compared to KLOS. I actually remember KMET playing "Driven to Tears" back in the day.
THANKS FOR NO MORNING CHATTER!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ONLY ONE ON THE L fN A DIAL! KEEP UP THE MUSIC ONLY WHATEVER IT IS!@#$%%^
oh my god how did they managed to do that now i am going to have to get the michael basdin show i just ask you if that show was syndicated over most of the east coast and the south with los angeles included dont the new owners think it might have been popular..... listened the first day bruce springstien all day cant even begin to say how bitter i am
Does anybody know what happened to the beat? i just loved it in the morning and now it is gone. again, what happened?
This is what LA has needed for years!!! Finally there is a station that plays well written music. Oh and speaking of well-written music, check out www.myspace.com/brysonvancleve. It's singer-songwriter based rock n' roll.
best station ever!!!! u guy are great
The perfect radio station.
Finally.
But what's up with the dorky name?
I wish you luck, but really what a leap from a R&B to....
Can't recall ever hearing "Don't Take Me Alive" by Steely Dan and Arctic Monkeys in the same hour, on the same station, in LOS ANGELES! the cd player in my car now has COMPETITION! PLEASE DON'T SELL OUT!
Y o u s a f e my l i f e tonight..
Happy Mom's Day Mom..
Love your Sound
Nice change, but I'm still mourning the loss of KSCA.
I couldn't agree more, MVN (Nicole Sandler anyone?)but so far this new station seems like the best thing L.A. radio has going. I just found it 3 days ago and am loving it a lot. Please
stay around for a while!! Lots of good music.
Solid, where have you been for the last 15 years???. Thanks and dont go anywhere
i've been looking for you. searching the dial. i'm a simple man without satelite radio. finally, the "b" side collection, the other good stuff, real variation. thanks for taking a shot at it. you've got a listener.

I agree with Mr. Butler- not just the traditonal hits, but those other songs of great albums. I'm fed up with these high gas prices, but found commerical free on your 100.3 dial- finally some relief to the consumer.
Thanks for the tribute to Santana music, Los Lonely Boys, Tower of Power and War.
How about other shades of brown like Ozomalti, Los Lobos, Juelita Venegas and Los Super Seven? Eastside listener in the house.
LOVE the station!!! Play Kerli..and pick some other cuts off Los Lonely Boys...stop playing their ONE hit from it...LOVE DRED SCOTT....a keeper...bring him on some more!!!!
Thank you! This almost (almost) makes up for LA losing KSCA those many years ago. Please do not suddenly go Spanish language on us. I couldn't take that a second time!
IJUST FOUND ABOUT "THE SOUND" IT'S WHAT RADIO SHOULD BE.ESPESSALLY IN LOS ANGELES.
The best rock station in LA. Reminds me of the old KSAN which didn't have a generic play list, but played the best album rock.
Couldn't agree more with all the positive comments about the sound LA radio station. What FM radio is meant to be. It's the ultimate I-pod music mix. I never turn off my radio. Hope you survive in the narrow-minded LA market. You have my support!
I love this station! Very refreshing, playing quite a variety and things you don't hear on other stations. I hope to listen to you for a loooooong time.
Thank you finally a radio station that plays all the good stuff! Its just like my I Pod. I haven't changed the dial since you've been on!! Just PLEASE DON'T GO AWAY!!!
I've been an avid KLOS listener since it's inception and now I can finally say so long to all the repeated music I kept hearing. I love The Sound, you guys mix it up with some old, some new. You guys ROCK! I listen all day long at work and am spreading the word.
I'm getting worried about you guys. Seems to be an increasing mix of K-EARTH type oldies. Watch it. Get back to the edge. Thanks. -Chris
So nice to hear a wide variety of rock. Love to hear the Grateful Dead and tunes from Elton Johns Tumbleweed Connection. Any chance we can hear Leon Russell's "Stranger in a Strange land"?
Keep up the good work
i love this ststion because it plays songs you dont hear that much i think other stations should do that but they dont, thanks
This is the best station in Los Angeles! I have been hoping for something like this for so long! I wish there were more advertising so I would have found out about it sooner and so that their listener base (which I'm sure would grow tremendously) could find out about it too! GREAT!!! Please hang in there till word can spread! I'm telling my friends.
Love the great mix of music. So much stuff that no other station plays. I am over 60 and love the old and some of the new. My favorite is album sides wed. Thanks for remembering the Ladies of rock yesterday. Have turned my son in law on to you also.
