"Native Wayne" Jobson, who once hosted the long-gone "Reggae Revolution" show on KROQ, has now brought his Jamaican accent to Indie 103.1. "Native Wayne's Smoke In" airs Sunday nights from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the station.
I caught a portion of the show this Sunday, just as Native Wayne schooled listeners on the four must-have reggae records any music lover should own: Buju Banton's "Til Shiloh," Bunny Wailer's "Blackheart Man," Peter Tosh's "Equal Rights," and -- of course -- Bob Marley's "Legend."
Also, Indie 103.1 has erected its first billboard, off the side of the Key Club on Sunset:
It's probably no coincidence that the billboard faces Wetherly Drive -- take it as a subtle taunt at Kevin Weatherly, senior vice president of programming at Infinity and KROQ.
MEANWHILE, in slightly disappointing news, the premiere of my new radio show has been delayed. KCSN has had a scheduling snafu, meaning the Wednesday night/Thursday morning slot I was supposed to take over this week isn't available after all. Another slot should open up in a few weeks, I've been told, so stay tuned!
