At 10:20am, August 17, 2006, KZLA's format was changed to Top 40/Adult Contemporary music. The last song played on KZLA was Keith Urban 'Tonight, I wanna cry', followed by Black Eyed Peas' 'Let's get it started'. The station is now known as Movin' 93.9, and morning drive will be anchored by radio legend Rick Dees.
(from wikipedia, it's amazing how fast they updated. I am impressed.)
Imagine my shock when I punched up 93.9 at lunch and got Madonna singing "Like a Prayer" and heard the "movin' 93.9 with Rick Dees" promo. This totally sucks. I thought it was a joke, but I guess the wikipedia can be taken as confirmation. As of this writing, the kzla website is still saying they are "The most listened to Country station," and have several concerts they are sponsoring, including the annual "Country Bash."
The only country station left here is 95.1 (kfrog) and they are out in the Inland Empire, don't always come in clearly and play a lot of the flag waving jingoistic country I don't like so much. A sad end to one of the largest Country music stations in the US.
Update: found a great writeup on the switch over at Franklin Avenue.
I have found it helpful to do the stretching exercises my physical therapist recommends. Do some core strengthening exercises, such as the ones highlighted at The Mayo Clinic. By keeping your core strong, your back won't put itself in a position to cause that sciatica pain you are having.

You were sick, but now you're well again, and there's work to do.
