    From Classics to the Court : KUSC Music Fans May Recognize Her Voice, but Today KNX-AM Commentator Gail Eichenthal Narrates the O.J. Simpson Trial

    As an announcer on classical music radio, Gail Eichenthal was perhaps best known as the voice of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. For 14 years she hosted live national broadcasts ofconcerts on KUSC-FM (91.5), providing what she likes to refer to as “play-by-play” commentary for the musical and backstage goings-on.

    These days she is doing play-by-play of another kind. And in a setting not nearly as highbrow.

    Since late February, Eichenthal has been the anchor for KNX-AM’s gavel-to-gavel coverage of the O.J. Simpson murder trial (having replaced Patti Reising, who is on maternity leave). She sets the scene, describes the proceedings and interjects background and clarification of the legal maneuvering when necessary.

    She says the jump from concert hall to courthouse is not as big as it might seem.

    “I was in the hot seat during the Philharmonic broadcasts, so the idea of describing for people what’s going on in a physical setting they can’t see is not foreign for me,” Eichenthal said.

    “There’s a ritual aspect to both a trial and a symphony concert. And even though surprises happen, it follows a basic architectural structure. It’s jus

    Talk:KNX (AM)

    Correct call sign

    [edit]

    The correct callsign of the station is "KNX". (There are no "foo-AM" callsigns and never have been.) This article should be renamed accordingly. 18.26.0.18 23:14, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

    Last summer I read the KNX article here on Wikipedia and was disturbed to read a section criticizing programming changes at the station over the past five years attacking its vice president of AM programming in a very immature and unprofessional matter. Such whining and venting belongs on a traditional blog, not here. It left me thinking that it was inserted by a disgruntled former employee. That being said, I was pleased to see that the so called "KNX Lite" section has long since been removed, and the article I retrieved (09 June 2008 at 3:55PM Pacific time) is much better.

    Unfortunately, the nature of Wikipedia--its very strength, ironically--allows users to vandalize articles as easily as I am adding to this discussion. Fortunately, there are enough registered editors and concerned users to weed out the bad stuff as quickly as it's added.

    As a personal opinion, I have listened to KNX since I was a teenager and its programming changes are the reality of operating a commercial radio station in one of the world's most competitive and crowded mark
