KDFC Coming to Monterey Bay

Excited--KDFC coming to the Monterey Bay:

Predicted Coverage Area for 103.9 FM, Seaside, CA

USC Radio Group, which operates KDFC, gets the 95.9FM and 103.9FM frequency spectrum, which they will get new call numbers for.

Saul Levine represents the current owner of the two stations, via Mt. Wilson Broadcasters, Inc., of Los Angeles. It seems he supports classical music and this may represent his way of passing the torch. Saul will retain the existing call numbers and convert them to non-commercial status.

Predicted Coverage Area for KMZT 95.9 FM, Big Sur, CA

We occasionally listen to KMZT 95.9FM, at our Santa Cruz apartment, which comes through, but a bit fuzzily. This may give us a clearer signal. : )

Listened to KPFA 94.1 FM, out of Berkeley, California, who featured University of Wisconsin, Madison professor Ramzi Fawaz:

"How has the figure of the comic book superhero played into left-wing political projects and aspirations? In his new book, Ramzi Fawaz argues that the reinvention of the American superhero was a response to, and a factor in, the rise of radical political sensibilities and movements in the 1960s and beyond."

Listened to the first part while driving through the Bay Area, then switched to online streaming, for the remainder.

Radio Songs - Instrumental Surf Music

Kevin has identified Surf Music, specifically, instrumental surf. So good!

Heard on KDVS 90.3 FM out of Davis, CA on Friday, April 15:

• Show Sub Zero, "Exploring classic and modern instrumental surf music and other styles. The music is so cool it's sub zero."

Note: this answers a question, for me, about what style of music this represents, first recognized while watching The Red Elvises, which Wikipedia repots as performing, "funk rock, surf, rockabilly, reggae, folk rock, disco and traditional Russian styles of music...Their music filled the soundtrack of Lance Mungia's independent film released in 1998, Six-String Samurai, a film in which they also had small roles and screen credits."

Can't wait to learn more/listen more.
