Dial Global & KZLA Staffers Drive SoCal Country Flip ExpandingonthestorywehighlightedinMondayafternoon’sCountry Aircheck Today,Mt. Wilson Broadcasting will flip XSUR-AM/San Diego to Country on Oct. 28. XSUR – 540 AM and licensed to Tijuana, Mexico – currently simulcasts Adult Standards with the company’s KKGO-AM//Los Angeles. The station will also be streaming on the web at www.540Country.com and will soon be available on HD radio. Programming will be a mix of live & local and the Mainstream Country format of Dial Global, which already features a number of personalities who were on KZLA including Brian Douglas, Whitney AllenandPaul Freeman. They’ll do mornings, afternoons andevenings,respectively,andwillalsooffercustomized local segments for XSUR. Mt. Wilson’s GSM Kane BiscayatoldCountry Aircheck that plans are for the station to be live & localontheweekends,withotherdaypartsgoingliveasadvertiserandlistenersupportwarrants. Biscaya described XSUR’s coverage as serving much of LA, saying it puts “a phenomenal signal” up the California coast and into Orange and Los Angeles counties. He added that Arbitron diary research of KZLA listeners showed large amounts of listening

came from southern LA County and Orange County. Emmis dropped Country from KZLA in mid-August for Rhythmic AC. Mt. Wilson’s KKGO – 1260 AM ƒ will not be joining XSUR in a Country simulcast – at least not right away. Biscaya notes the company has about six months of client and talent commitments that preclude its immediate conversion to Country. While it’sHot Air at this point, don’t be too surprised if KKGO – which covers the north part of LA including the Valley – joins XSUR in Country at some point in thefuture. Calling all stars: XSUR is looking for artists to go on the air welcoming Country back to LA. Dial Global’s Country MD Bob Blackburniscoordinatingthese efforts.
