New Program Director Heads to KRTH, KTWV -
Something tells me that CBS Radio Los Angeles didn't hire
a guy who programmed Beyonce, Heavy D, Prince and Alicia
Keys in Hawaii just to leave things alone. My guess? While
KRTH is safe for now and may just evolve a bit, the days
of The Wave are numbered. Don't be too surprised if 94.7
becomes L.A.'s old-school station. Sooner than later.
