103.1 KCDA Local Lounge

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

The Local Lounge is a weekly radio show in Spokane where producer Matt Loi hands the 103.1 KCDA studio and the station over to a new band every Sunday evening at 10PM. Tune your dial to 103.1 FM in the Spokane/Post Falls/Coeur d'Alene Area.
Because 103.1 KCDA is a station so completely focused on the music (we don't even have DJs), the show is oriented that way as well. The musicians actually host the show themselves!
At KCDA we're avid supporters of the Spokane/Inland Northwest music scene. Check out our official website:
