In addition, Slaton will also act as 95.7’s music director…
Here’s a 1½ minute video of Steve with Bob Rivers re the announcement:
(There may be a short ad beforehand)
I listened through about 4 songs and a commercial and never did hear him say anything. typical Clear Channel station, when they do hire talent they don’t let them say anything.
Steve’s first show ended with a minute talk – calling it his ‘virgin voyage’ on the station,
sounding ‘tracked’ over the intro to Eagles ‘Hotel California’
The volume on this was also ‘low’; makes one wonder…
Rumor has it that Program Director Becky Brenner is out at KMPS in Seattle. Has anyone seen any information on this? Supposedly all went down this afternoon.

KSGX Becomes ‘Freddy 104.9’ For Halloween — But Are More Changes Coming?
Something is brewing in THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST as CLEAR CHANNEL Gen X KSGX/SEATTLE has been replaced by “FREDDY 104.9″ — a ghoulishly good HALLOWEEN format. OM JOHN”PEAKE-a-boo!” is staying mummy… for now.
However, ALL ACCESS hears a rumor that a new format will debut at midnight MONDAY.
Follow the fun at http://www.genx1049.com.
Given all the ghoulish ax-cutting that’s been going on at Clear Channel lately, this kind of stunting, I’m gonna guess, means a format change at KSGX tonight…and some personnel changes too. Best, M. 8)
PS: Drive carefully tonight, BTW…sunset in Portland is at 6pm.
“LARS LARSON has a larger than life persona in SEATTLE and we are already getting positive listener response to the move.”
Then why don’t they carry him live?
WOW, look at this kids! Recently posted on All Access. Don’t know the details, but WHAT a gig!!!
Cheers!
