Los Angeles is Greeted with the Return of KDAY
-----------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday (monday) Los Angeles residents were greeted with the return of the nation's first 24 hour a day Hip Hop staion the legendary KDAY... Thats right KDAY is back in LA except instead of its 1580 AM signal which could be heard at night up and down the entire west coast.. It is now found on 93.5 FM..
Urbaninsite Magazine ran this short blurb yesterday about the new KDAY..
"Styles Media revives KDAY in LA. Styles Media takes over KZAB in Los Angeles under an LMA, and flips the station to 93.5 K-DAY "Hip hop today and back in the day." The station is looking to evoke some of the flavor from the original KDAY 1580AM which played hip hop in the early 80s until it flipped in 1991."
So with KDAY back on the scene, there are lots of questions everyone is asking including; How will it do up against LA's larger stations including 100.3 The Beat and Power 106?
Over the years both stations have done things to pay tribute to KDAY.. From time to time Power 106 would bring back old KDAY mixers from the legendary Mixmasters Squad. Stations like the Beat had on staff KDAY jocks like Julio G. In fact when the Beat first signed on they tried to position themselves as the new KDAY.
Folks are going to have to wait and see if the new KDAY brings back the personalities who made KDAY this landmark entity. Will Greg Mack return? Will the Mixmasters be re-asembled with the likes of Tony G, M-Walk, and Joe Cooley? Will Julio G be back on the air?
The other question that everyone will be waiting to see answered is whether or not there is a market that wants to hear old school Hip Hop? Can the new station survive by playing old Egyptian Lover and LA Dream Team? A couple of years ago Clear Channel station 92.3FM attempted to flirt with that sort of old school flava... But they never went full throttle and eventually switch back to its current format of tradional R&B oldies but goodies.
We wish the new KDAY much luck. Lets hope the owners try to recapture the magic behind the old KDAY and that they simply aren't in LA trying to exploit the name.
