I'm pleased to see the comments about Karl Haas.  I wonder if he is lurking
and enjoying the comments.  I miss those programs.

In Los Angeles some years ago, his daily program was rebroadcast later
in the day, so we had two chances to catch him.  When the station changed
management, he was on once a day for a while at a reasonable time, then
banished to an hour around dawn.  But for a long time now, he has been
eliminated entirely in Los Angeles.

As far as I know, that is.  The Los Angeles Times has such a poor radio
log, they only print a random selection of about half a dozen titles on
the average out of the hundreds in our area through the day, and many days
there is only one title -- sometimes no radio log at all.  Our commercial
classic music station, KKGO, has a high ratio of entries in the log (maybe
they pay to be listed, or perhaps an editor is a closet CM fan) -- but the
Haas program never appears.

Does anyone in the L.A.  area happen to know if he can be heard here on
some other station, perhaps at some peculiar hour like 4 a.m.??

His program can be heard very faintly, through a lot of static, as
broadcast on San Diego's XBACH (transmitter in Mexico), an AM station,
540 on the dial.  Usually around 1 p.m.  or so.  But it's odd that Haas
is apparently not available locally for such a huge and concentrated
population.
