The WAVE offers a rich, elegant blend of Smooth Adult Contemporary music featuring artists like Sade, George Benson, Anita Baker, Sting, David Sanborn and Diana Krall.

While The WAVE provides Southern Californian's with the ultimate "chill-out" soundtrack for unwinding, the station's energy and tempo results in a compelling and memorable foreground sound.

That foreground approach is achieved not only with an up-tempo blend of Smooth Adult Contemporary music, but also with three other important elements:

Air Talent: Warner Bros. recording artist, Brian McKnight hosts The WAVE's morning show with veteran radio personality Pat Prescott. The morning show is music intensive but McKnight, one of the biggest cross-over artists provides an insiders point of view that gives the show a powerful differentiating element. Breakthrough morning show benchmark feature includes the Sunrise Serenade (McKnight sings a request every morning). The balance of The Wave's all star air staff includes Talaya Trigueros who hosts the popular Midday show and Don Burns who hosts the successful Afternoon program, "The No Stress Express". National voiceover artist and longtime L.A. radio personality Keri Tombazian sets the mood for our Evening show, "Night Grooves". Our weekend lineup consists of world class personalities Lawrence Tanter, Barbara Blake, Hugh Fuller and Bill Dudley.

Production: Highly produced on air promos with top 40 production value but a Smooth Adult Contemporary feel help give the station a forward flowing momentum. Jingles produced by Warner recording artist/producer extraordinaire Brian Culbertson and performed by many of the stars of the Smooth Adult Contemporary format showcase our dial position and station name with incomparable style and personality. Celebrated film and television star Dorian Harewood is the male promo voice of The WAVE and legendary voiceover artist Linda Cassidy is the station's female promo voice. Together, the elements of our proprietary jingle package, high level promo voices and elegant production style give The WAVE a smooth and highly memorable produced sound that is an integral part of our brand.

Promotion: The contest to end all radio contests happens every single weekday on The WAVE. Never before has a Southern California radio station presented a breakthrough contest as compelling and original as The Wave's incredible Trip A Day Giveaway. We giveaway a Trip A Day every single weekday. Daily winners choose to travel ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD they want. The WAVE's Trip A Day Giveaway is truly the talk of Southern California, creating a buzz never before seen in the market.

The WAVE is not only a Southern California powerhouse because of its compelling on air sound, but because of its events such as The Mercedes Benz Wavefest, a two day concert extravaganza happening at the famous Greek Theater in Hollywood featuring many high caliber Smooth Adult Contemporary artists.

The station hosts a wealth of other concerts and lifestyle events including Lexus Jazz Festival, Summer Jazz Series, The Playboy Jazz Festival and many others.
