Uncle Joe Benson has left his spot in afternoons at Classic Rock 95.5 KLOS Los Angeles and his heading to mornings at “100.3 The Sound‘ KSWD.
Benson, who has been working in the Los Angeles market for 26 years, had been with KLOS since the demise of the Classic Rock “Arrow 93.1” format on KCBS-FM in 2005. At the Sound he replaces the team of Larry Morgan and Sheri Donovan.
“Uncle Joe’s Rock & Roll Morning Show” will debut on Monday, February 4.
Joe Benson is one of the best Classic Rock air personalities in the country, and The Sound will be a better fit for him, given the tight format constraints at KLOS. I expect he’s going to sound the way he did at Arrow, where he was able to relate to the music in his talk breaks. A good move on Bonneville’s part to steal him away from Cumulus.
