The Radio Revolution Misses The Valley

The Daily News finally discovers Indie 103.1 -- but you can't necessarily blame them for being late to the party. Given the station's weak signal, it can barely be heard in the San Fernando Valley:

For Valley residents... Indie 103.1 and its remarkable playlist is but a rumor. While you can get it on the Internet, once you hit the Santa Monica Mountains on the 405, you'd better pop in that "Rock 'n' Roll High School" CD — or switch to alt-rock powerhouse (and KDLD competitor) KROQ-FM (106.7). Because right around Mulholland Drive, KDLD begins to sound like a thrift-store copy of a Velvet Underground album.
