Joe: What is your current position?  Kalie: I am on air at 91X doing the overnights and weekends.
Joe: How are things with you right now? Life, work…..  Kalie: Life is busy, but great! Working late nights allows me to go on day adventures and never stop exploring San Diego.
Joe: San Diego…What is your favorite place to visit?  Kalie: Ooooo that is a tough one…. can I just say, the ocean? If I am by the water, I am a happy gal. Can’t go wrong with a Torrey Pines hike, cruising around OB or the harbor.
Joe: Is your job still as exciting like it was day one?  Kalie: Yes, but in very different ways! When I first started as an intern, I would get giddy every time I stepped inside the building. I never knew who I was going to see or meet. Being from San Diego, It was just crazy being in the same building as people I grew up listening too.  These days, I am still in awe and get giddy when Igo to work at s…

   As January is far behind us, and even February flying by, let's look ahead to summer!

One of the biggest sponsors of SanDiegoRadio is The San Diego County Fair. Who doesn't love fair food, rides, fair food, art, animals, fair food, concerts and of course fair food?

   This year's fair theme is "A Fair to Remember: A Celebration of World's Fairs, and Balboa Park". The fair is celebrating the 100 year mark of the Panama-California Exposition held in beautiful Balboa Park in 1915.
   The fair will be open Friday, June 5 at 4PM and wraps up Sunday, July 5. It will be closed on Mondays and the first two Tuesdays.
   The concert calendar will be released in a few weeks, and I will post it here on SDR. SanDiegoRadio wishes to thank the San Diego County Fair for being a huge supporter! Visit the Fair website HERE

   Some may have wondered why I did not run anything on the tragic Kyle Kraska shooting Tuesday.
It's simple, really. When TV News, the radio, Facebook and Twitter are blowing up immediately after the incident, there really is nothing for me to do that would be different. There have been other big stories I have chosen not to run as well. I think it's a bit of information overload.

SanDiegoRadio.org wishes Kyle a safe and speedy recovery.

Thanks for tuning in to SanDiegoRadio

Lisicky, whose on-air name is “Adam,” began his broadcast career in 2006 as an Intern at 91X.  A year later, Adam hosted a show on Internet radio station “X1FM,” followed by an air shift at “Live 105” (KITS-FM) in San Francisco from 2010 to 2012.

“I’m a San Diego native who grew up listening to 91X; the station helped form my appreciation for alternative music since I was a youngster,” said Adam.  “It's a great feeling working alongside some of the most respected personalities in my hometown.  Sure beats sitting on my thumbs!” “Adam is a local kid who brings hard work to his passion and knowledge for music,” said 91X Program Director Halloran.  “I cannot wait to tap into his perspective and ideas, and bring San Diego a fresh voice at night on 91X.  By the way, he’s all thumbs.”
