A post on Facebook’s “The Sound LA Radio Family” group page caught my eye; it essentially asked: How do people like KLOS (95.5 FM), which is sounding a lot like ’90s-era KROQ, these days?

I had noted some musical changes when the station hired Nik Carter for afternoons; was it moving to a more modern sound instead of staying solely with the traditional “classic rock” of the 1970s?

Turns out, it is indeed evolving. Information compiled for a recent Friday indicated that the station that day had a decades breakdown of about 2.9 percent of the songs from the 1960s; 25.8 percent from the ‘70s; 28.7 percent ‘80s; 30.9 percent ‘90s; and a 11.7 percent from the ‘00s and above.

That’s quite a change for the station that once stayed mostly with music from the 1970s. It’s not quite the “active rock” format that I’d like to see — active rock stations tend to play at least some current music — but it’s darn close, and a good move for the station in spite of some listeners lamenting the loss of the ‘70s.

Here’s the problem, though: A song released in 1975 is now 50 years old. The listener who grew up with that song is probably at least 65 years old, and even older people want to hear more than just the same songs they heard in junior high and high school.

Put another way, the senior in high school who first heard Nirvana’s “Nevermind” album when it was released in 1990 is now 52-53 years old. It just makes sense to add songs from the ’90s and ’00s even on a classic rock station. KRTH (101.1 FM) found great success doing the same thing for its “oldies” format.
