• RAMP has learned from several sources that legendary radio and television personality Matt Pinfield has been hospitalized after suffering a medical event on Monday evening. We are awaiting further details about his condition.
On Tuesday afternoon, Triple A KCSN (88.5 The SoCal Sound)/Los Angeles, where Pinfield does afternoon drive, issued this statement: “The SoCal Sound’s legendary DJ Matt Pinfield will be taking a temporary leave of absence. We are fully supportive of Matt and hope to have his energetic knowledge of rock n’ roll back on the air soon. During the interim, you will be in good hands, as 88.5-FM Program Director Marc ‘Mookie’ Kaczor will be taking over the mic Monday through Friday from 2-6 pm, as he keeps you company on your drive home.”
Pinfield also hosts the Sunday evening specialty show, New & Approved on Meruelo Media’s 95.5 KLOS/Los Angeles, which issued the following statement: “Everyone at KLOS & Meruelo Media, along with Matt’s family (daughters Jessica and Maya, brother Glen, sister Colleen, mother Nancy), his girlfriend Kara, and the entire rock and roll universe support Matt in taking some time off to rest and heal. Matt is a family member, and we look forward to having him back on the KLOS airwaves as soon as possible. We know his fans across the country and all the artists feel the same way.”
RAMP joins the rest of the industry in keeping positive thoughts for Matt’s recovery.
