KLSX Flipped it's format at the first of the year to Amped 97.5, this is significant for a few reasons, first, it puts Tom Leykis, Adam Carolla, and John & Jeff all out of radio, for it being the flagships and all 3 of them being syndicated, and second, it cuts the last thread of the dead FM-Talk format that went straight down and crashed after the FCC deal and the Janet Jackson incident, Tom Leykis and John & Jeff were really the last men standing on terrestrial radio, from the Hot Talk format, Don And Mike are gone, Sterns on Sirius, Phil Hendrie does a more political show, Mancow also lost his flagship in Chicago, but TRN had him syndicated and had like 17 stations ready to start taking his show, so they moved him to New York where he does it exclusively for TRN! I was a huge fan of FM-Talk and Hot Talk, I thought it was really railroaded in it's short year here in Utah, as it wasn't marketed, was all over the road as far as the talk format went, I hope this format of radio doesn't disappear all together! I noticed Opie And Anthony and Bubba The Love Sponge had been cleared to go back on Terrestrial radio, but I don't know what markets they are in. If anybody knows anything else please post.
