KIOZ-FM, also known as "Rock 1053", is a Rock station in San Diego, California. It is licensed in San Diego, California and is owned by Clear Channel Communications.

[edit] History

KIOZ or Rock 105.3 is the only hard rock station in San Diego, California, USA. The morning show is The Mikey Show, with Missi following The Mikey Show, BC & Clint doing afternoons, and Robin Roth doing nights at KIOZ. KIOZ will occasionally mix in classic rock, however, this is generally limited to tracks from Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath. The Mikey Show replaced Howard Stern on the KIOZ lineup in 2004 after Clear Channel Communications, KIOZ's current parent company forced the cancellation of Stern's morning show from the six Clear Channel-owned stations that carried it, owing to the "Nipplegate" incident at Super Bowl XXXVIII. (Stern would move to KPLN that summer, then ultimately out of all FCC jurisdiction when he moved to Sirius Satellite Radio in January of 2006) - a move that he took much pride in making.

[edit] Current Operations

In 2005, KIOZ became the flagship station carrying San Diego Chargers football events during the 2005 regular season. Staffing the microphones for the pre-game shows are Eddie "The Oracle" Pappani (from the KIOZ morning drive "The Mikey Show") and former NFL players Lew Bush and Jim Laslavic, of San Diego's KNSD.
