Owned by iHeartMedia, Inc., KYSR is the Los Angeles affiliate for ''Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx'' and the home of morning drive program The Woody Show. The KYSR studios are located in Burbank, while the station transmitter resides in Beverly Hills. In addition to a standard analog transmission, KYSR broadcasts over two HD Radio channels,〔http://www.hdradio.com/station_guides/widget.php?id=36〕 and is available online via iHeartRadio. KYSR also extends its signal by using a single full-power repeater: KSRY (103.1 FM) in Tehachapi.〔(From Mediabase 24/7 )〕〔http://www.sixxsense.com/pages/radiostations.html?state=california〕〔http://ibiquity.com/hd_radio/hdradio_find_a_station?state=SA&thisBeColorOver=ff920f&thisBeColorOut=11839d&theCity=14#stationlist〕 ==History== On May 27, 1948, the Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer motion picture studio put KMGM on the air at 98.7 FM. KMGM went off the air in 1953. On June 30, 1954, after purchasing the KMGM studio and transmitter, Art and Jean Crawford, owners of Crawford's of Beverly Hills Record & Hi-Fi Store, launched a new station at 98.7 FM with the call letters KCBH.〔http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-YB-IDX/60s-OCR-YB/1964-YB/1964-BC-YB-OCR-Page-0190.pdf〕 In October 1970, the station became KJOI "K-Joy."〔http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-YB/1977/C-1%20Radio%20Broadcasting%20Yearbook%201977.pdf〕 The station would air a beautiful music format until 1989. KJOI then began playing fewer instrumentals and adding more vocalists to the playlist. The traditional middle-of-the-road vocalists were replaced with more adult contemporary artists. The instrumentals were dropped altogether in 1990. The station became known as "Touch 98.7", placing itself between smooth jazz KTWV and adult contemporary KOST. The format was now soft adult contemporary. On February 12, 1990, the call letters were changed to KXEZ, "Easy Oldies." On September 4, 1992, KXEZ became "Star 98.7" KYSR. In the beginning, KYSR aired an adult contemporary music format which evolved into a hot adult contemporary music format by 1993. In 1995, most of the rhythmic Top 40 and soft rock tunes were dropped from the playlist and replaced with a lighter modern rock sound, minus the harder approach embraced by KROQ-FM. Viacom sold the station to Chancellor Media in 1997. AMFM Inc. was formed after Chancellor Media merged with Capstar in 1999, and in 2000, AMFM Inc. merged with current owner, Clear Channel Communications. Coincidentally, around this time Viacom became the owners of KROQ-FM when that station's parent company, CBS, merged with Viacom. In 2002, KYSR began to experience a decreased market share noted in its declining ratings, which was also likely contributed to by a decrease in the amount of hit music product in the modern adult contemporary genre at the time. The debut of KCBS-FM in 2005 may also be a factor as KCBS-FM airs an adult hits music format that shared a large proportion of music on the KYSR playlist. KYSR adjusted their playlist in September 2005 to focus on 1980s and 1990s hot adult contemporary music. The playlist adjustment was directed by KHHT program director Mike Marino. By April 2006, KYSR readopted the modern adult contemporary music format with the tag line of "Today's Music Alternative", playing more alternative rock hits. Marino has since relinquished his duties at KYSR to solely focus on KHHT. All on air personalities including the notable morning show - Jamie, Jack, and Stench - were temporarily pulled off the station. Fans of the Jamie, Jack and Stench show protested this move which included a public protest at the studio. Shortly afterwards, a poll was established on the website asking if they wanted Jamie, Jack and Stench to return. Ninety-seven percent said yes, and a week later, they returned. However, not soon after the return, JJ&S got replaced by the morning team of "Valentine and Lisa Foxx" in 2007. On September 20, 2007, KYSR repositioned itself as '98-7.' The Star name was deemphasised as the station moved in a male friendly direction. While the format claimed itself as Modern AC, its musical lean favored Modern Rock/Alternative hits with an updated library of alternative hits from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s such as Nirvana, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Third Eye Blind and R.E.M.. In addition, KYSR played more new modern rock hits from bands such as The Killers, Foo Fighters, Incubus and Linkin Park. 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 MyFM." Effective September 24, 2007, Valentine took over the KBIG morning show, replacing Charlie Tuna, whose last show was September 17. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KYSR」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
