Born Free: 106.9 Free FM Launching Today
FLASH! The Doghouse made its debut on 106.9 Free FM at 9 o'clock this morning. The station's lineup is expected to include Darian O'Toole (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) and John London (3 p.m. to 7 p.m.).
The up again, down again 106.9 Free FM (KIFR)website is back up again today, and is showing Tom Leykis on the schedule from 3 PM to 8 PM and
John & Jeff from 11 PM to 3 AM (along with their Southern California phone-in numbers), with Adam Carolla and Penn Jillette coming in January.
Does this mean that we'll hear Leykis as early as today? Perhaps, according to a CBS/Infinity press release issued bright and early this morning:
Beginning today, KIFR, WYSP and KPLN will convert to FREE FM programming offering listeners a combination of powerhouse local and national personalities (see separate releases for complete lineups). WXRK, the flagship station for the David Lee Roth Show, will debut FREE FM on the station in conjunction with Roth's premiere in January 2006. Current Infinity stations in Los Angeles (KLSX-FM), Chicago (WCKG-FM), Dallas (KLLI-FM), Washington, D.C. (WJFK-FM), Detroit (WKRK-FM) and Baltimore (WHFS-FM) have all been rebranded FREE FM as of today.
And why, if she's already signed, isn't Darian O'Toole listed on the site?
I also wonder how they plan to fill the gaps in programming until January — Don Imus in the morning? Bill O'Reilly's "Radio Factor"? (Wow! Didn't know my gag reflex would kick in so easily.)
Note that if you click on the "Coming Jan.: Adam Carolla - Penn Jillette" logo, you go directly to CBS/Infinity's website, which includes a map that shows what stations will be "Free" and who will be on them. For example, "New York - WXRK FM 92.3 - David Lee Roth, Penn Jillette."
Jillette's show, according to CBS/Infinity, will be only one hour long.
With the post-Howard Era almost upon it, Live 105 (KITS/105.3) has announced that it will go back to music in the morning with live, local host(s) beginning January 3, 2006, meaning no Roth or other syndicated talent, according to the CBS/Infinity press release:
KITS-FM in San Francisco will launch the MORNING MUSIC CO-OP, an entertainment-based program featuring alternative music with unprecedented listener involvement/interaction and minimal commercial interruption. The station's on-air programming attributes will include music-oriented town halls, sponsorship of "locals-only" concerts, monthly music and movie listener correspondents, frequent auditions for permanent positions on the show, listener advisory reports, and Q&A sessions with station executives.
One rampant rumor: Sarah & No Name, currently at co-owned Alice@97.3 (KLLC), will be shuffled over to Live 105 come the new year.

I'm reporting you Friday 3:15 comments to the FCC

Okay, genius, I give up. What did I say at 3:15 on Friday? As far as I know, I looked over at my dog (the legendary Beau Jackson) and asked him if he needed to go out to water the lawn. Go ahead, report that to the FCC!
