As it turns out, people in SF don't care to hear a station mixing playlists from 107.7 The Bone, 103.7 and KOIT (among others) all together. An all around terrible idea for Live 105/Alt 105.3's replacement, and the ratings throughout its existence say it all.
I'm thinking a Live 105 revival focusing on classic alternative is coming, seeing the success from 99X, Indy 103.3 and 91X. The new format debuts on Monday, per RadioInsight.

Re: Dave FM gets ditched in San Francisco
Live 105 had mostly terrible ratings the final 10 to 15 years of its existence. The station was a moderate success in the 90s. By the end of the 90s, it wasn't even the top alternative station in the Bay Area; KOME was.
3 of Indy 103.3's past 4 ratings surveys have been piss poor, and their playlist is a complete trainwreck. Avril Lavigne and Metallica on a classic "alternative" station?
91X, a station I personally enjoy, continues to rank around 16th or 17th place in San Diego market ratings (6+). It's unclear to me if the shift helped, hurt or did nothing to the station's ratings fortunes in demos that matter.

Good question. I think he left 91X in 2017 or 2018.

Haloran is still at 91x. Does fill-ins on Resurrection Sunday a lot.

Re: Dave FM gets ditched in San Francisco
Live 105's first full survey period in San Francisco showed excellent gains. Will be interesting to see if those last a few months from now.
