Bay Area Radio: Live 105 To Return To KITS


Audacy is set for the return of Live 105 (KITS-FM) in San Francisco. The station, previously known as 105.3 Dave FM, will now feature music from every era of its history as the ‘Bay Area's Alternative.’ Core artists will include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Linkin Park, The Killers, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Blink-182, Foo Fighters, Depeche Mode, The Cure and more. The rebranding is scheduled for 10:53 AM local time today.

“The people have spoken, and we are excited to answer the call,” said Stacey Kauffman, Regional Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy San Francisco and Sacramento. “After a six-year hiatus, Live 105 – THE Bay Area’s Alternative – has returned to the airwaves! We are proud to bring back this local favorite that gives our loyal listeners and favorite Alternative artists from the 90s to today a place to call home again, right here in the Bay Area.”

Live 105 will launch with Regional Vice President of Programming John Allers serving as Brand Manager. Jayn will serve as Music Director in addition to her role as Music Director for Alice @ 97.3 (KLLC-FM) in San Francisco.

“Our entire team has great respect and admiration for what Live 105 means to the Bay Area Alternative community,” said Allers. “We will continue to honor Live 105's rich history and legacy by bringing back brand mainstays such as ‘Soundcheck’ with Aaron Axelsen and other familiar voices while collaborating with Live 105 alumnus 'Miles The DJ' in guiding the evolution of Live 105 into the future.”

On-air talent updates will be announced in the coming weeks.
