Ozomatli Out at 98.7 FM

So much for that experiment. Local band Ozomatli has already been fired from its morning gig on KYSR-FM 98.7.

The show, announced in August, barely lasted two months. Guess it just didn't work out.

LARadio.com notes:

Ozomatli, the Grammy-winning group that took over mornings at KYSR (98.7/fm) two months ago, was apparently let go yesterday. Management did not respond to inquiries, but any reference to Ozomatli has been removed from the KYSR Web site.

If Ozomatli has been dropped, the action apparently is in response to how fast management can receive ratings information and make adjustments. No word on a replacement for morning drive.

My guess: Lisa Foxx, who had been doing mornings there, slides back in, at least for now. In the end, I didn't think this would last long: Doing a daily morning radio show is a grind -- and plus you have to be up super early. How a band that constantly tours could swing it, I wasn't sure. And apparently I wasn't the only one.
