Adam Carolla Show and Tom Leykis Show are cancelled. Head to 971freefm.com<\/a> for the final Live Webcast.<\/p>\n

\"3912120\"<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong>
\nTom Leykis starts Thursday show with “Leykis 101” and he is planning to talk about the future of the show at 5PM Pacific Time. Leykis has a “no-cut contract” until 2011.<\/p>\n

Starting Friday February 20th, 2009 at 05:00PM, KLSX as we know it will cease to exist<\/a>. CBS Radio, the parent company of KLSX is set to throw away the FM Talk Radio format and replace it with Top 40 Radio.<\/p>\n

Editorial:
\nWay to stand out from any other radio stations, CBS. Tag, end sarcasm.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This change of format left number of hosts losing their jobs, notably Adam Carolla<\/a> and Tom Leykis<\/a>. Along with Carolla and Leykis, the casualty list extends to Frosty Stilwell, Heidi Hamilton, Frank Kramer (all three from “Frosty, Heidi & Frank” show), Tim Conway Jr., and to some extent Danny Bonaduce.<\/p>\n

CBS Radio feels the urge to “amp-up” their bottom line by switching to AMP-Radio format, all Top 40 all the time.<\/p>\n

Editorial:
\nLet’s see how the FM Radio Market look like in Southern California. They are either playing the same “Top 40” junks or speaking something other than English. Congratulations CBS Radio, you’ve just blended in perfectly with everybody else. By the way, I can still listen to podcasts and there are great Internet Radio Station such as Pandora and Last FM. I’d like to mention that I have an extensive collection of music on my shelf, I’ll just listen to them instead of your “top” 40 radio.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adam Carolla has announced that he’d be going the Leo Laporte way<\/a> and producing his own podcast at www.adamcarolla.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tom Leykis is expected to make announcement on his plan after being booted of CBS Radio. The Tom Leykis Show is popular with 24-to-54-year-old-men demographic.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
