Influences: ThePrimeSpotlights music from the 562 area, all genres. English, Spanish, Khmer, Tagalog... If you are in a band and play live in the 562, we want to hear from you! The only language we do NOT play is OPI (shit, piss, fuck, etc.) so keep it clean!
KaRi was inspired to start a "local" radio show when she tried to donate her (then!) 20 CD's to the local college radio program at LBCC. (She felt guilty playing the music just for herself when she knew the local bands needed more support!) Instructor Ray Burton talked her into taking a class.
She recalled on one of her cross-country road trips being stopped by a herd of cattle in southern Illinois. It was right there she fiddled with the AM station and heard local funeral listings. KaRi decided ThePrimespot Radi owould include local information as well. (No funeral listings though - unless YOU want to call them into the show!)The first time she was on radio was as a guest: She had gone on a self-designed "farming vacation" to Iowa, a state she had never checked out before and the stations out there wanted to know what a "California Gal" was doing in the midwest by herself hangin with the hogs, cows and farmers... My goal was to check out soybeans and I would up staying with the WENTE's, the coolest farmers around!
Sounds Like: LONG BEACH + 562: English, Spanish, Tagalog, Khmer, we'll play anything LOCAL but OPI (the seven "deadly" words on air!) KEEP IT CLEAN!
