‘Sheroes’ To Debut On 88.5-FM
• Sheroes, a new syndicated radio show that celebrates and spotlights women in the music industry, will be joining the weekend line-up on Southern California’s public, member-supported Triple A station, 88.5-FM, starting Sunday, Nov. 15, from 9-10pm. Hosted by format veteran Carmel Holt (pictured), most recently with WFUV/New York, Sheroes will also shine a light on gender inequality in the music and radio industry.
“Carmel Holt is a highly respected broadcast professional, and the Sheroes concept is a breath of fresh air,” said 88.5-FM PD Marc “Mookie” Kaczor. “This is a music-intensive show, with interviews, discussions and great music. We are very excited to feature this new and exciting program every Sunday night.” Sheroes will also present a fresh and eclectic mix of music by newcomers and familiar names, combined in a carefully curated playlist, as well as an in-depth conversation with one of the artists as part of a “Shero in the Spotlight” segment. Holt said the creation of Sheroes reflects “a labor of love and a fierce commitment to bringing attention to gender inequality on the airwaves and in the music industry at large.” Early episodes of the show feature Rhiannon Giddens, Sharon Van Etten, Rosanne Cash and Yola.
88.5-FM is a combined effort of KCSN at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) and KSBR at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, which began simulcasting in 2017, linking the Los Angeles County and Orange County-based signals.
