A new oldies station has emerged in Playas de Rosarito, a suburb of Tijuana, Mexico, where XEPRS (1090 AM) is now playing oldies music for four hours a day. The station, known for its history as a “border blaster,” features new and classic hits, including recordings of legendary personalities like Wolfman Jack. The format is a mix of songs from the 1950s through the 1970s, with Fleetwood Mac and Heart representing the newer songs. In addition to oldies, the station broadcasts a Spanish religious format.
Meanwhile, KLOS is looking for replacements for its afternoon drive show, with Frazer Smith and Jim “Poorman” Trenton as potential candidates. The San Pedro Chamber of Commerce will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony for community radio station KCLA (100.7 FM) during the town’s “First Thursday” event on October 3rd. The station manager, Ziggy Mrkich, has done a great job connecting the station to community events since its soft launch.
Some readers expressed disappointment over the switch of 105.1 HD 4 to classic country, as they will no longer be able to listen to their favorite oldies on KSurf. Suggestions were made to potentially offer more HD stations or give up one of the classical streams to keep the oldies format.
The article, written by Richard Wagoner, a San Pedro freelance columnist, covers radio news in Southern California, including updates on oldies stations, potential new show hosts, and community events.
