End Of An Alt Era For KITS

• Audacy surprised more than a few folks on Friday when the company decided to pull the plug on heritage Alternative KITS (ALT 105.3) — formerly known and loved for decades as LIVE 105 — and flipped it to Adult Hits as 105.3 Dave FM, “Totally Random Radio.”

According to the official release, Dave FM “will boast a vast music library of top hits from multiple genres and decades, including artists and groups like Prince, Pat Benatar, The Cure, Journey, Nirvana, Huey Lewisand more.”

“Dave FM is an opportunity for us to provide our audience a station that encompasses a wide array of music genres, full of recognizable hits across multiple decades,” said Stacey Kauffman, Regional VP/Market Manager, Audacy San Francisco. “We trust this station will be able to offer listener favorites each and every day, no matter their taste.”
