L.A. without KCRW

Le Show: Harry Shearer

Cafe L.A. hosted by Tom Schnabel

I can usually tune in to it when I get close to "Magic Mountains" on Highway 5. It's a low-powered FM channel (89.9) that I can't wait to listen to when I'm on my way to Los Angeles: KCRW, the Santa Monica College Public Radio, my best companion in the late evenings and on the weekends in my first 2 years in L.A when I was not watching any TV at all. I didn't miss a Harry Shearer's "Le Show" ,though, in those lonely days.
Last week, alas, they were having a one-week pledge-drive and Cafe L.A.'s Tom Schnabel was saying proudly: “You might not miss L.A. but you will definitely miss KCRW." Damn right, but it's too bad it can't be heard in the San Jose area! I must add too that L.A. streets without KCRW are not the best places in the world to drive around.
I guess I have to bitterly march out of step and listen to another drum for a little while.
