LA questions

[estepheia]

Is there anyone among my LJ friends who lives in LA?
What's the weather like right now? And most importantly: do you have a radio channel that plays oldies in the evenings? Mostly rock?
I like to get my facts right, you know....

Thank you very much, Elsa. :-)

Actually....
In the U.S. we have a *lot* more radio stations than you have in the UK.
UK? I'm German. But never mind. ;-)

Here we have private radio stations and gouvernment funded stations. The latter have the obligation to provide culture and discourse, they play classical music, review books and plays, and they even produce radio plays. It has its perks, because if you listen to a commerical station you're bound to hear Dido's White Flag at least once every hour.

One of the commercial stations I used to listen to had a program called Nightline, that played independent labels and progressive rock, but that's a big exception (and it was only 2 hours per week).

Anyway, thanks for your help. :-)

German... Geez... slap me around, will ya?

Sorry about that. I was assuming UK because there are so many UK fans, and your English is perfect. :-)

I have no first-hand knowledge of German radio, so obviously, I was talking nonsense. :-)

Thank you very much, Elsa.
I studied German literature in London for three years, so sometimes my English sounds British, that's what fooled you.

And, um, I have no intention of slapping you around. :-)
