This was the station that would play Christmas songs during November and then December. I hate how they play the same songs over and over again. Like there's more to life than just the same old songs over and over. Play some nostalgic songs that a lot of people have forgotten about. I'm sorry but I'm going to be blunt here. This station even aired Kristi Noem's hateful commercials months ago. Disgusting and repetitive! read more

I've listened to 103.5 growing up in LA in the 80s and 90s. I've moved away from LA since then, but I visit frequently and this is one of the stations I still listen to when I'm home. Yesterday, I was shocked to hear an incredibly disturbing and threatening ad about deporting immigrants and how they will be deported and "never come back". What an unwelcoming message. My parents are immigrants and I am a first generation American, born and raised in LA. LA is a beautiful city of immigrants. I will no longer be listening to 103.5, unless they remove this offensive and hateful advertisement. read more

I am so enjoying the Christmas music, but if I hear Kristi Noem again, I will never listen to this station again. This shows really bad judgment on the part of your selection of advertisers. I hope the money was worth it.......what a bummer to hear her voice in the middle of the beautiful Christmas music.... read more

We were part of a House Christmas decorating contest. Tonight we were judged and we set up for 2 weeks with KOST playing. The judges were here off and on from 720pm to 746pm. The entire time talk and commercials. Needless to say we lost. No Christmas cheer for us, nor no moe KOST as part of our Christmas. read more

Two songs followed by 11 minutes of commercial? No thank you! It's so disappointing when all you hear are commercials and barely any songs. read more

I'm just responding to their Christmas music program that they run during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. It's kind of ironic that they play Christmas songs for marketing reasons, but Kost staffer's won't (or hardly say) say Merry Christmas to each other or to the callers while on the air. They just say happy holiday. They will say happy Thanksgiving, but not merry Christmas Which is sad. read more

Every year in the past I have enjoyed the Christmas music played on KOST FM. This year has been so repetivtive, hearing the same songs over and over. However, the most annoying part is the constant pharmacuetical company's ads. Name a vaccination and KOST is plugging it - done. read more

The Christmas songs keep getting cut earlier and earlier, this year immediately are the strike of midnight on christmas morning. Disappointing. read more

Why bother posting a phone number when your system is set up to automatically hang up on people? @$$#ole Ellen K did not announce "spoiler alert" before talking about the winner of The Masked Singer. Thousands of people work at night and do not adhere to YOUR schedule. You ruined the finale for me. read more

KOST 103.5 FM - This is me of my favorite actor Shawn Mendes so much. Thank you - Radio Stations Near Me - Burbank, California

Called and shared my happy spirit for Christmas, hoping I will be on air. Very disappointed. No one was answering the phone for 3 times. However the person that answered the phone was not in the mood. Anyhow. Didn't meet my expectations or he valid of my loyalty, listening everyday and every single time. #thankyouformakingmydaybetter# read more

I especially love that Christmas starts here so early. The station has a good general array of music without it being a snoozefest or blowing out my co-workers eardrums. It is always relaxing and pleasant to listen to KOST. It is music you can keep on with almost any company. I came to the station to pick up some tickets I won. A Broadway musical at the Pantages! I have won several contests here, which solidifies my role as a loyal listener! read more

KOST has done an outstanding job of creating "genuine feel good moments" in these pandemic times that are more valuable than ever to the city. Thank You. read more

5/17/17 Dear Kost 103.5 FM Radio Station, I need to share my viewpoint as a listener, I have truly enjoyed your radio station for many years now, that is until today. Today I was driving on the 405 freeway singing along to the songs that were being played on your radio station at the top of my lungs, happy as a bird flying full throttle into the high heavens!!! And then!!! I heard you advertise free tickets to SEA WORLD!!! I couldn't help but wonder if the people that produce Kost 103.5 FM have actually taken the time to watch the documentary "Blackfish"? Blackfish is a documentary about a Killer Whale that was kidnapped from the ocean and forced to live a life of incarceration at Sea World, the Killer Whale's name was Tilikum. In their natural habitat they swim hundreds of miles a day in the open ocean, at Sea World they live in small swimming pools, it's the equivalent of us living in our bathtubs until the day we die. It is morally wrong to support businesses that support the enslavement of living beings that share this planet with us. I would like to share a quote by Paul Watson: "If you want to know where you would have stood on slavery before the Civil War, don't look at where you stand on slavery today. Look at where you stand on Animal Rights." From where I'm standing it's plain to see that Kost 103.5 fully supports media blackouts on Animal Welfare issues, that is why I am boycotting Kost 103.5 from my radio dial. Animals have no voice, but we do, maybe someday you will join me by standing on the right side of history like the abolitionists did. Sincerely, Patty Jackson read more

I spoke to ellen k on the air on Wednesday told her my feel good story It was my 72nd birthday im a decorated Vietnam veteran. I asked 4. 2 tickets anywhere They took my name. Phone # and city n promised to call me back NEVER DID. THANKS FOR UR SERVICE read more

This morning I did something I rarely do... I woke up at 7:36am. Not by choice, mind you, but my very good friend Aunny D had a big interview today and needed a ride to the airport and since I live in the Valley, ding ding ding, guess who got the AM honors of taking her, hehe. After frantically rushing to get her there, almost running over some school children, going to ATMs that didn't work and did I mention being awake at 7:36 in the AM, we finally got it all together and I dropped her slightly nervous and anxious butt off at the terminal and she was off to catch her flight. As I was driving back to my bed...oh sweet, sweet bed, I remembered that the morning has...morning shows. There's a concept I'm unfamiliar with since it's been years since I've had to commute with my car radio as my traveling partner, so I thought I would give a listen and see what this crazy pre-10am world had to offer. First was kevin & bean on KROQ. They were interviewing some guy about some film and it was kinda boring. Next. I then hit up Indie and listened for a bit, but I kinda wanted to hear some tunage, so, Next. I then stumbled upon KOST 103.5. How this got on my auto-program dial I have no idea, but Mark and Kim were on and talking about Delta airlines. They then started talking about how some genius at Delta forgot to latch the luggage hatch and as they took off and were in the air, all of the luggage spilled out and still hasn't been recovered. I laughed. Granted, if that was my luggage, I woulda been pissed, but at the now still really early time of 8:03am, it was damn funny. I then called Aunny to tell her this story. Her reaction, "Um, is that supposed to make me feel better?" I said, "Yeah, you didn't check luggage, see, it could be worse!" Look, I never admitted to being a morning person, so maybe my comforting words of wisdom were a little off, but hey, I blame Mark and Kim since they gave me the knowledge I simply spouted. Okay, can I go back to sleep now....thanks. read more

A Lovesong for Anna... I flew into LAX the other night (2/25) around 11pm from Dulles and when I climbed into my car to drive home after a long day of travel, my station was tuned to Lovesongs on the Coast on 103.5 KOST. I can be such a cynic and usually think that the show and the love dedications are completely saccharine and the songs totally cheesy, but I was too weary to change the station. Sometime shortly before midnight, a gal named Anna called into Karen Sharp, asking if she could play the ultimate cheesy love song: "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion. I lifted my arm to switch the station. But Karen asked Anna who the song was to be dedicated to and a flood of emotion came tumbling out of Anna, who had obviously been holding it in while making the request. "My fiance Jason," she said. "He died last week." Jason had an aneurysm and though the song didn't have any particular significance, she said that it felt appropriate because she wanted him to know that she would be ok without him. Karen asked what her favorite memory of him was and Anna said, "Probably a road trip we took together to San Francisco. It was the best week of my life." Sometimes I wonder if anyone still calls in to dedicate songs to others and yes, they do. And sometimes a dedication will reach through and touch others who are listening, as well. I send my best to Anna, who is somewhere out in this crazy city of LA. May your memories of Jason bring you comfort in this time of mourning. read more

Its that time of year again for CHRISTMAS on the KOST! The holiday season can't officially start without this So-Cal radio station doing its things every year. Their playlists are well-done, making for great listening throughout the day. As they they started playing a few weeks ago, I'm now ready for some AWESOME home-made Thanksgiving grub then onto Christmas and New Year's! For the rest of the year, I get my oldies fix as KOST is one of my favorite presets. So I'll be listening all throughout the year! LISTEN IN! Soak in that Christmas spirit or just kick back and relax to some Elvis, The Temptations and Frankie Sinatra himself! read more

I am officially old. I like KOST 103.5. They play some great songs from the 70's to today! Where else can you listen to Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, Beyonce, The Fray, and Coldplay? Nowhere. They play all your favorite pop songs. Yes, many of the songs are cheesy, ala Love is a Battlefield, but they are fun! And who doesn't love a good love song? Mark & Kristen are so funny to listen to in the morning. They are the right amount of lame. Sometimes Kristen tries to be fun and so Mark has to calm her down, but every once in a while he'll surprise you and be funny. And come on, Love Songs on the KOST? Who can't appreciate listening to how hilariously cheesy those dedications are before you sing along to I'll Be? read more

love the holiday music!!! wish they had it all year long! I listen to this station the entire month of December; at home, in the truck and at work! Just makes me smile listening to such happy music! read more

I remember listening to this station as a kid hunch over my radio and waiting for Barbara's Streisand's "Woman in Love" to come on so I could tape record it. Barbara describes my feelings best with: "Mmm. Mmm. Memories, light the corners of my mind Misty watercolor memories of the way we were. Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind smiles we give to one another for the way we were. Can it be that it was all so simple then or has time rewritten every line? If we had the chance to do it all again tell me would we? Could we?" Sweet nostalgia. With some things in life, consistency is comfort. This station is great with blending new hits with classics--all the while keeping it's soft rock tone. It's nice to have this station in the background of so many memories in the past and in the present. Hopefully, also the future. read more

Dear 103.5 kost dj... How much do you know about Christmas music?? Every year, you play the same songs, over and over again! I seem to have memorize which song will play after the other .Come on! !There's lots of Christmas songs from all genres!! I'm so tired of hearing the ones you only know!! So lame!! Repetitious!! Maybe you shouldn't do it next year!!! read more

This is the radio station you listen to when you don't want to offend everyone around you (who inconveniently all have varying tastes in music). Did I mention this radio station makes me fall asleep? It's better than Lunesta..way cheaper! It's not that the songs are bad, but that the songs are so well known and so overplayed that it starts boring you to death. This really sucks most when you're the one driving around parents+aunt+cousin+cousin's preteen kids and the old folks want to listen to jazz, cousin wants pop, and the kids want to listen to hannah montana. So someone decides this is the best station to listen to, and then I start dozing off after 10-20 minutes listening to the same 20 songs perpetually on repeat and quickly change to indie 103.1 so I don't start falling asleep at the wheel, but a pissed off aunt changes back to this station cause she doesn't want to hear Radiohead or anything to do with Jonesy, repeat indefinitely. And this station ruins songs for me. I end up deleting songs played by this radio station off my iPhone more quickly than usual. Like A Fine Frenzy's Almost Lover. Thanks for ruining that song by playing it so often! I will stick with my kcrw and indie 103.1 thanks very much. read more

I don't really like Mark and-whoever-they-replaced-Kim-with. I hate LoveThoughts because when people mention serious relationship problems, the DJ's tone does not change as she segues into a requested song. I'd never have this as one of my presets. My father loves saying the station identification along with the announcer. This is my parents' favorite station and a reason to avoid being in a car with them. read more

BEST radio station EVER. MY #1 Preset... :p a station I listen to 24/7... trust me, people HATE getting in the car with me because I always have this kind of music (if you are asian, it can go from Jay Chou, SOLID, David Tao, LA Boyz, to country music (Tim Mcgraw, Leanne Rimes, Faith Hill, Shania Twain) to love songs, like Richard Marx, Boyz II Men, Enya, Peter Cetera, Celine Dion, etc) playing whether we are on our way to a HIP HOP (coughs) club, or whether we cruise our way to school.. lol. So WHAT? I'm a diehard, sappy, hopeless romantic... so you wanna know what kind of music KOST plays? LOVE SONGS. I HAVE to represent. Love songs on the Kost... I will SO miss this station when I move to SF... *sniffs* no station can even come AS CLOSE! www.kost1035.com (at least I can listen to it online...) click and listen for yourself, and stream online~* Okay, now, I feel that I'm being quite redundant with my reviews. HAHA. I initially joined YELP to write reviews on places that wouldn't be totally obvious, like Trader Joe's, Costco, but to write reviews that would really be "useful" for the many others who dig the same things I do (such as eating, interior design, exploring different places), and/or for people who want to get "useful" insights from REAL people, I mean, yelp IS a place for REAL REVIEWS, from REAL PEOPLE, raight? Oh wells, I guess it doesn't hurt to get off tangent ONCE in awhile. read more

KOST 103.5 FM - CHECK IT OUT! jammin my KOST in the car~* - Radio Stations Near Me - Burbank, California

I miss the old KOST where they would play quality music such as Chicago, Hall & Oates, Bee Gees all the time... Now all they play is pop music .. For instance the last song played before I switched stations to 98.1 and to write this review was Stay by Rihanna. Are you serious? I guess in a world where money means everything, it isn't "profitable" to play older music where the audience is less. Very very sad to see this station go down in flames. read more

103.5 and 104.3 seem like the only two radio stations that are acceptable to play in the workplace. Both radio stations play relaxing music which you can tune in or tune out of. And, everyoen seems to like it. I listen to these radio stations occasionally... but I have a few other favorites. Oh, K-Earth 101.1 is also a good station to play in the workplace.. but I would prefer the first two. read more

This sation sucks so much its beyond repair. I hate this stations with a passion worst DJ's and crappy playlist on a daily basis. first of all do they have anyone buying new music from the current decade whats wrong with playing more current artist. I have no problem listening to older artist but they have had the same playlist for what seems like since 1995. artists have more than one songs press the next track button once in a while for variety. second issue is why do offices across LA play this staion for the office soundtack IF i hear its 72 degrees on the KOOST again im going to kill someone.and lovesongs at night show if they play that selena song one more time god help me. third why do you want to listen to 10 minutes of ads that have nothing to do with anything you are interested in . fourth why does the HD signal go down so much I like the HD2 station but its always going down for weeks sometimes FIXthis as this is the only reason i tune to KOST its the only hope you got to keep me as a listener and fifth CLEAR CHANNEL STATIONS SUCK .Thats why I have SAT RADIO when LA radio stations suck I tune to that. oh yeah did i mention how KOST sucks. read more

"Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you" ... "Hi, Kristin, how are you doing today?" "My husband is stationed in Iraq and he'll be leaving tomorrow. He's only been back for three weeks, but now he'll be leaving again. I just want to tell him how much I love him and that we'll be missing him. He came back for our new baby that was just born a week ago" "What's his name?" "Mark" "Well, I'm sure Kristin that you love him very much. I want to say congratulations to your new baby. I'm sure that Mark misses you so very much, and that he'll miss bei-" DAMN IT SHUT UP. read more

Songs are so overplayed!!!! It's not that the songs are bad, but that the songs are so well known and so overplayed ... The same 20 songs every night after 11:00 pm. I forget to mention that I work grave shift almost 10 years . B-O-R-I-N-G to death! read more

Listen to this station at work because its good music that doesn't scare customers away, while they're on hold. Love the music that they play on this station. Though sometimes i'm like wtf when do they play this artist. I would have ever thought "The Fray' would be playing on KOST. read more

This is an amazing radio station! Really love the holiday music every year, Love Songs makes the station even better!

I used to like this station, but in the past year they've been playing the same songs over and over again throughout the day. So many great songs out there, this station is stuck on Pink and Adele all day long Uggggch. Also two months of non stop Christmas songs is sickening. read more

I love how they do more and more songs every year!. Last year was olny like 3 songs but this year it's like 20! It would be way better thought if you keept the money and just donated it to canser homes. read more

I enjoy listening to Kost 103.5 every night for love songs on the coast with Karen Sharp.

Pls bring back Kim & Mark!! Helen K doesn't have a voice for a radio station. I like the station a lot but not when she spoke on the air. Sorry. read more

So monotonous! How many times a day do they play "Africa" by Toto, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," and "Take On Me"? It's as if they are on an island with a small box of old CDs and no access to a wider selection of music. Listening to this radio station is about as refreshing as a glass of flat, tepid diet Pepsi. read more

Looks like KOST has caved into political correctness and purged it's Christmas playlist of any overtly Christian themed Carols. Been listening for a week now and haven't heard one. All we get now is just the "generic" stuff about Frosty the Snowman and Santa Claus. My guess is some sniveling, whining, overgrown baby called in and manufactured some controversy, and the the evidently cowardly KOST obliged. Of course, if they have to explain it, they'll cloak their cowardice in nobility and start spouting off the usual politically correct drivel responses like "we're proud to offer a diverse range of music for our listeners", or "at KOST we strive to be inclusive". Same ol' political correctness methodology... 1.) I don't like the reality I'm living in (Christmas is a Christian-derived season) 2.) I'm going to make up my own reality (Christmas is not a Christian-derived season) 3.) I'm going to force everyone else to accept and adhere to my reality (I'll fall on the floor, and throw a tantrum and not stop until everyone caves in to shut me up) Oh well, one more reason to switch to internet radio. read more

I think is is completely fabulous that you are playing Christmas music after Christmas. I think you should play it until New Year's Eve. It's really sad that stations cancel music right after Christmas, because most of us take time off and this is the time we really connect with the season, and the music keep the spirit alive. Thank you very much, and I hope you keep on playing the music through New Year's. Lisa H read more
