Who will record the last 24 hours of the sounds existence?

Heard the segue into K-Love...are they breaking tradition with Charlie Van Dyke doing the IDs instead of their national guy?

Van Dyke was just hired this month to become the new imaging voice of Educational Media Foundation's "K-Love" contemporary Christian music network.
I opine - Darn. He's good. My fantasy would be to see 100.3 become devoid of any and all listeners and the station then desperately sold to local ownership. However Van Dyke's hiring, and EMF's overall slick approach to radio, makes that fable even more unlikely to happen.

EMF is a very prosperous organization, and they have a considerable amount of cash on hand for additional expansions, even in markets where their format will not do as well as others. They are trying to get as close to 100% of the US population coverage, even buying a very good FM and a group of translators in Puerto Rico this year.

Kinda like a year round NPR pledge drive, but not as annoying or repetitive. Evangelism on steroids....and it works!

Gotta agree. I didn't stick around for it, but playing the "Golden Slumbers" Medley was how KMET went out in 1987. We are thirty years beyond that and almost 50 years since the Beatles recorded it. Surely they could have come up with something a bit more creative and a bit less dated. They knew when they were going out, there were no rules, they could have really made it an event - something people will really remember them by. I offered a few ideas a week ago - probably not the best ones (I didn't spend a lot of time on the subject) but even my relatively weak ideas would have been a lot better than that.

It is essentially a microcosm of the station and my biggest complaint with it. Staffed by great people, did a good enough job playing the music, but not enough creativity to make it interesting.

Hey KF, too bad they didn't exit with this one, as WOXY (BAM!!) did in one of their farewells

Kind of says it all...quite the predictable ending.

That aside, here's a nice article from the OC Register summarizing the final broadcast day:

http://www.ocregister.com/2017/11/1...its-final-songs-and-left-the-air-on-thursday/
 
I still probably would have played "Stairway to Heaven" though...:)

As far as the new K-LOVE, I'll give them a try (I used to be a big fan of CCM back in the 80s, on KYMS 106.3(?) from the O.C....)

Wow! That’s a lot of “goodbye” tracks! I’m more surprised to see Johnny Paycheck show up. Now that’s what I call a “diss!”

Dang I didn't think Van Dyke is the voice of K-Love Radio. The last time I heard Van Dyke doing radio ID's was for K-Earth 101 under CBS Radio's ownership. I tend to think of Van Dyke as the person doing promos for Disney/ABC Owned stations specifically KABC7/WABC7 most notably in recent years.
 
I noticed in the format change tape that EMF is referring to the LA station as "Positive, Encouraging 100.3," steering away from their usual "Positive, Encouraging K-Love" branding they use in other markets. They do call themselves the "K-Love for Christian Music."

I'm thinking that KKLQ will not use the 100.3 K-Love branding in Los Angeles and is only adding the "K-Love for Christian Music" branding to make this clarification in case the station is referred to as K-Love in the national feed.
