The difference is remarkable; apparently KCLU is better funded, as KCBX tends to play too much Jazz for my taste. It's great to be able to switch from one to the other now that I have that option! The biggest problem I have now is- who do I send money to during the ubiquitous pledge drives?

Repeated denied offers of viewing official public records for correcting wildly inaccurate stories were denied, that were not even needed because a basic web search and background check would tell the truth, that would include warning the neighborhood about dangerous residents. These resident's names were coincidentally omitted from the article, indicating using shady sources with malicious intent. Lastly, community members commented in support of the article, with no knowledge of the falsified incident, encouraging guilt before innocence. Meanwhile, the comments of corrections were denied as posting, and ignored when submitted through the "report corrections" tab, making every single article reported questionable in nature.

Some really great topics with all the trimmings of jingles, bumpers and no in-stream ads, that I detected.

To compete against the huge giants that control LA Radioi. Good job, keep it up!

After my 3 year anniversary, as a host on LA TALK RADIO (Melissa Hill: RAWTALK) Sam (the owner) ,…read morestarted treating me like shit! I was loyal to his station, and brought great guests, including Grammy award winning artists, and Academy Award winning directors. The only thing that Sam cares about, is the $99 / WEEK he charges (even if you run a repeat, it still costs $99) If you pay with a $100 bill, good luck getting your $1 in change owed to you. If you show up with only $95, he'll hassle and threaten you, until you show up with the other $4. My show broadcasted live on Tuesday's, and Christmas 2018 & NY Day 2019, both landed on Tuesday's. Any radio station that I know, does not broadcast live on major holidays, they broadcast Pre recorded content or replays. Well, I didn't show up on those two holidays, believing that I didn't need to, and I didn't receive a call or text on those days, asking if I was showing up.... so I believed that all was okay. When I arrived on January 8, 2019 to do my broadcast, Sam walked into the studio, and demanded that he be paid for three weeks of broadcasting. We decided to table the discussion until we could set up a time and meeting with my show sponsor. A few days later, I went online to download my previous week's broadcast, and was shocked to discover that the website was down, as I was looking at a blank white page! I posted an update for my listeners on facebook, informing them that the site was down, and that I would have more information for them in the morning. The following morning, on January 15, I received text messages from Sam, stating that he would sue me for slander and that I was a liability to the station. I told him that his site was down and that he wasn't providing the service that we pay him for! I told him to stop harassing me, and that I'd see him later that night when I show up for my weekly broadcast. I also told him that I was going to bring a hard drive with me to download my entire archive. He told me that he would deny access of my archive to my listeners, unless I pay him for the 2 missed holidays! He also set up a meeting for us, that evening. Well, my sponsor and I showed up for the meeting, and Sam did not! My broadcast that night (which ended up being my final) was with Director Cameron Crowe, and Rock photographer, Neal Preston! It was an amazing show! Afterwards, we saw Sam in the parking garage. He looked at us, ran to his car, and backed out of the garage, nearly hitting us in the process!!!! Moral of this story is, that Sam (who is originally from Israel), will harass and treat women like shit, insult, demean, and lie! If you are black, he'll treat you even worse! To wrap it up.... Hosting on LA TALK RADIO is a good learning experience until you are able to move on to a much better station, where your rights of Free Speech are supported by the owner! Screw you, Sam!

What I don't really like, though, are the number of female artists that sound pretty much all alike. That bores me incredibly, and I'm a woman! I'm listening right now, and ever since I put it on about 20 minutes ago, every artist is a female with the same annoying types of voice. I wish they would vary it more. Maybe that's what the record companies are currently pushing. This could improve...
