The sound of the city
Los Angeles is the home of the American entertainment industry, of West Coast hip-hop, surf rock, Chicano soul and a huge Latin music scene — and the radio mirrors it. Latin radio, hip-hop radio and rock radio go deeper.
Listening from elsewhere
Los Angeles keeps Pacific time — eight hours behind UTC in winter and seven in summer — so a morning drive show in LA is the evening in Europe. San Diego radio online covers the city's stations. Las Vegas radio online shares the same clock. Some programmes may be restricted outside the United States.
