Dead air: It appears that dance music will come to an end once again at Los Angeles radio frequency 103.1 (KDL-FM). The owners of the so-called "Party Station" have basically sold control over to Clear Channel, the nation's largest radio company, which reportedly plans to turn it into an alternative-rock format station. The Party Station's last day of dancing is Sunday (Dec. 21), according to reports.

The frequency, which is weak and basically only reaches L.A.'s Westside, has been home to four versons of dance radio, including KROQ veteran "Swedish" Egil Aalvik's MARS-FM and Groove Radio attempts in 1991 and 1996 respectively. In 1997 a coup forced Aalvik out and the station continued with a more watered-down dance-pop format. Clear Channel actually killed the remnants of Groove in 1998 when it bought the station. But it had to sell it to Entravision, a mostly Spanish-language media chain, in 2000, as a result of federal limits on how many stations a corporation can own in one market. Entravision tried Spanish-language programming, but after failing moved to dance-pop (lots of cheesy pop-trance remixes). Now Clear Channel is entering into an agreement by which it doesn't own the station, but essentially control it through a sort of sub-leasing of advertising.

Clear Channel owns EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. It's actually frightening.
