KTHO/South Lake Tahoe switches formats, drops AAR (what little they air of it)

As far as I could tell, the only AAR show they aired was Al Franken, and that was on overnights. I can't verify, since they have no website. KTHO is a low-powered station in a very small market. Not a strong affiliate by any means.

Hold the phone. KTHO-AM 590 returned Monday to its musical roots of Barbara Streisand and Petula Clark - but with a new twist.

Air America is out, and local news is in. The South Lake Tahoe radio station plans to beef up its news offering by hiring a reporter to hit the streets, gathering community news. News director Larry Kay hired Jeff Grice of KRKC in King City to come on board Aug. 15.

The station previously aired political and sports talk shows. It will continue to broadcast Oakland A's baseball games.
