Should radio stations, including KOST 103 5 really go at it for the top radio station in LA?
After a four-month climb up the L.A. radio ratings, Top 40 music station KLSX-FM (97.1) may finally be running out of momentum. The CBS Corp.-owned station was tied with KRTH-FM (101.1) for fourth place in the market ratings released Wednesday by Arbitron Inc. Both stations claimed 3.9 percent listener share for the month. KIIS-FM (102.7), a Top 40 music station owned by Clear Channel Communications Inc., kept the No. 1 spot with 5 percent listener share, and news station KFI-AM (640) held steady at No. 2 with 4.6 percent. Soft rock station KOST-FM (103.5), which in May was locked in a three-way tie for fourth place with KLSX and Spanish language KLVE-FM (107.5), broke free to claim the No. 3 slot with 4.4 percent. KLVE, which is owned by Univision Communications Inc., slipped to No. 6. Since KLSX flipped formats from talk radio to music in February, it has shot up the ratings from around number 20. At one point it seemed poised to challenge KIIS, which has been the top-rated L.A. radi
KOST’s format features a variety of music from the 1960s to the 2000s, with artists like Elton John, LeAnn Rimes, Phil Collins, and Enrique Iglesias. It also plays many songs from Motown artists. KOST is also the largest adult contemporary station in the United States playing 1960s music on the playlist, since its WLTW sister station (which plays adult contemporary music from the 1970s-now) in New York City omits music from that decade, except during Christmas stunting in November & December. During the Christmas season, the station plays Christmas music exclusively, although a few regular “love” songs are played in the evening during “Love Songs on the Coast”. Also, KOST operates its “Christmas Wish” program to help those less fortunate. The station usually commences its holiday music the Friday before Thanksgiving on the Morning Show, with the opening song being Barry Manilow’s medley of the classics “Happy Holiday” and “White Christmas”.
