What happened to Star 98.7's morning show in LA? Why aren't there any DJ's?

Question

It used to be the "Valentine & Lisa Foxx show" - but I swear I heard Valentine on KOST 103.5 yesterday. As far as I can tell there aren't any DJ's on the air (morning or afternoon). Is it my imagination, or has something changed recently?

Answer 3

They are continuing to evolve. The following is from Wiki:

<<On September 20, 2007 KYSR repositioned itself as 'L.A. & Orange County's 98-7.' Despite the fact that the station has dropped the "Star" monkier from Star 98-7, as of September 2007 they are still using the star name on their website (star987.com) and for their live performance studio (Star Lounge). It has been speculated that the star name has been deemphasised as the station moves in a male friendly direction. It is unclear what the permanent branding of the station will be. While the format still favors Hot AC, its musical lean now favors Modern/Alternative hits with an updated grunge library and four new songs per hour including the previous hot currents. This repositioning came three days after sister station KBIG added more recent adult hits and dropped the dance/disco hits and became known as "104.3 My FM." Effective September 24, 2007, Valentine took over the KBIG morning show, replacing Charlie Tuna, whose last show was September 17. Lisa Foxx is now solo on the KYSR morning show.>>

Truthfully, radio is a divided medium.  Stations save money by eliminating jobs and going with a canned presentation for all of its stations.  They miss the local edge and find themselves alienating listeners.  

The new competition will be Internet radio, where you can listen to stations in the car that are uniquely yours.

To answer your question, I am not sure what happened to them, but even good people like Rick Dees are turning to the Internet to get back on the air.
