Jason Bentley To Become KCRW Music Director

One of the features of living in Los Angeles is having access to KCRW 89.9 FM, one of the largest NPR affiliates in the country and an amazing source of cutting-edge music. I have been listening to the station constantly since 1994 and usually will stream it live online when travelling, even when in other countries!

It has just been announced that the new KCRW Music Director will be Jason Bentley, following in the footsteps of Nic Harcourt, Chris Douridas and Tom Schnabel. Bentley has been the host of the program "Metropolis" which airs every weeknight from 7:30 to 10:00pm. He starts hosting the flagship program, "Morning Becomes Eclectic" (9am to 12noon weekdays) on December 1. I hope they give Garth Trinidad ("Chocolate City") or Raul Campos ("Nocturna") Jason's old early evening slot!
