KRLA 870 AM's Kevin James moving to 12-3 AM Time Slot on July 6

"Late night radio again for Kevin James"

KRLA 870 AM Talk Radio Host Kevin James, just announced that his show will begin at midnight, instead of 11:00 PM, as previously noted.

While this may cause consternation to those who religiously tune in James for their fix of local political news, KRLA added a third hour.

James reiterated that his tour of the Neighborhood Council System is still paramount and listeners will benefited from an expanded pod cast availability.

Let me be the first to invite James to a new and vastly improved LA 32 Neighborhood Council, which I was just elected Recording Secretary. See you soon Kevin!!

James to Endorse

Local talkradio host Kevin James will announce his pick for the nod to replace former Council Member Wendy Greuel in this coming Tuesday's Council District 2 Special Election.  James tells the Sister City he will announce this in the 10:00 p.m. hour of his show.

While we have no idea who James - who has done the most extensive broadcast coverage of this race including running an on-air candidates forum - will pick, I think its safe to bet it will not be former entertainment industry exec Chris Essel.

James' show airs Monday to Friday evenings from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. on KRLA AM 870 or via the web at http://krla870.townhall.com/.

Radio Alert: Moore to Talk Jamiel's Law Tonight

Walter Moore will appear to discuss Jamiel's Law, overturning Special Order 40 for illegal alien criminals on Terry Anderson's radio program this evening at 9:00 p.m. on KRLA 870 AM.

With respect to Jamiel's Law, Moore says that "Word is spreading fast, and nation-wide," and "that newspapers as far away as Florida" are covering the campaign started by Moore and Jamiel Shaw's family to put an end to gang violence.

Open Thread for Thursday

Hey kids due to the Kevin James interview Wednesday night, no time for a Hotsheet so I'll let you guys blog, spin and post graffiti on this article.

Random thoughts:

It was an amazing experience to sit in studio with Kevin James at KRLA. Kevin is a true gentleman and a consulate professional. Watching him in studio you see how hard he works to produce a great show. And his behind the microphone team are a great bunch of guys. I am sorry we didn't get time to take calls, but there's lots going on.

Due to what Kevin calls "The Perfect Storm" of June 2007 in Los Angeles politics, analytics here are through the roof. Compared to the same three day period last week visits to the blog are up 151.24%, pageviews are up 210.61%, average time on site is up 39.44%, referrals from the Westside White Guy up 244% and traffic from computers on the City of Los Angeles network is up a whopping 464.81% (yea who said the 3rd floor isn't spinning, cutting and pasting?). Also the top keyword search term bringing folks to the blog - after various combinations of "Mayor Sam" - both last week and this week - is you guessed it - Mirthala Salinas, this week up 580% over last week. Thanks to everyone for their support and to all our bloggers - Zuma Dogg, Red Spot, Joe M., Joe B., Walter and AW who've been cranking out the content.

If you listened to Kevin Wednesday night he spoke of a caller who privately told him a few months back about one of the the topics contained in SONCHA WATCH. We are hoping this lady will call Kevin and elaborate on how she knew this months before any of us. I told Kevin that she had this story months before anyone else tells me, well, uh, it might more likely to be true than anyone thought. Like they say, where there's smoke...

So I am off to dreamland but feel free to blog away on the Kevin James show, Antonio, Rocky, Baca, Weiss or any of the other characters who are part of our daily soap opera here on the Mayor Sam blog.
