Kobe vs. Koby
Talk about bad timing: A new parttime DJ at KIIS-FM (102.7) just started a few weeks ago. His on-air name? "Koby."
Perhaps KIIS was looking for a subliminal draw for its young listeners, most of whom I assume are big Lakers fans.
Now, of course, with Mr. Bryant's problems consuming the news, it's a little jarring to hear someone on KIIS refer to himself as Koby... (Imagine this: "Hey, it's Koby on KIIS-FM, here's the latest from R. Kelly!" If you didn't know any better, you'd think the radio station was broadcasting an alleged sex offender introducing a song by an alleged sex offender.)
There's obviously some confusion with listeners. We here at Franklin Avenue got a hit yesterday from someone who had typed "Kobe Bryant" and "KIIS" into Google.
