This is an important message for the Indie 103.1 Radio Audience -
Indie 103.1 will cease broadcasting over this frequency effective immediately. Because of changes in the radio industry and the way radio audiences are measured, stations in this market are being forced to play too much Britney, Puffy and alternative music that is neither new nor cutting edge. Due to these challenges, Indie 103.1 was recently faced with only one option —- to play the corporate radio game.
We have decided not to play that game any longer. Rather than changing the sound, spirit, and soul of what has made Indie 103.1 great Indie 103.1 will bid farewell to the terrestrial airwaves and take an alternative course.
This could only be done on the Internet, a place where rules do not apply and where new music thrives; be it grunge, punk, or alternative - simply put, only the best music.
For those of you with a computer at home or at work, log on to www.indie1031.com and listen to the new Indie 103.1 - which is really the old Indie 103.1, not the version of Indie 103.1 we are removing from the broadcast airwaves.
We thank our listeners and advertisers for their support of the greatest radio station ever conceived, and look forward to continuing to deliver the famed Indie 103.1 music and spirit over the Internet to passionate music listeners around the world.Their server is so jammed. I bet I won’t be able to get on until tomorrow morning.
From Radio & Records:
After five years, Entravision is pulling the plug on alternative KDLD & KDLE (Indie 103.1)/Los Angeles. The airstaff and programming staffs were let go this morning in a meeting, and the station is currently running a loop of a few songs with the message that “Indie can no longer compete with the corporate radio game.”
From LA Weekly:
No Jonesy on the Internet, either. Apparently there will be no DJs on the online version of Indie 103.1. Indie’s groundbreaking format is, in effect, dead.
Fuck that, this new Indie is not remotely a fascimile.
