LA’s KLSX 97.1 has officially dropped Tom Leykis, Adam Corolla, and Frosty, Heidi, and Frank as the station switches to a Top-40 format dubbed “Amp Radio” that “plays all the hits”.Another casualty of the crappy economy as ad revenue continues to decline and stations can afford to keep top paid radio personalities.

Adam Corolla
Rumors started swirling earlier this week, then it was confirmed today that as of tomorrow afternoon, KLSX is going to move to their new format.
According to radio gossip site RadioInsight, the domain names AmpRadioLA.com, Amp971.com, and Amp971fm.com were all registered anonymously on February 9. Amp Radio is a format geared at youth, such as middle to high schoolers. Sounds like this decision was made relatively quickly and comes as a surprise to many considering Corolla had signed a multi-year agreement in 2007, due to incredibly popularity among listeners.
Personally, I’d rather listen to LA’s Kevin & Bean on KROQ, but would switch over occasionally during commercials and songs to hear what Adam Corolla was complaining about. He was a definite 2nd, but I am sure this B radio star will pop up somewhere considering his connections in the biz. As per Leykis, (NSFW)
I think the guy is a douche, catering to the white trash crowed consistently talking about single poor mothers in Seattle. It got very old and fast. My prediction is Tom Leykis will be a local Seattle DJ by 2010. I am eager to see where Frosty, Heidi and Frank land as they were the only talk show with this format on durring the day.
