On The Go: Mt. Wilson KKGO/Los Angeles afternoon host Christine Martindale has retired. Concurrently, Adam Bookbinder moves from middays to afternoons, while voiceover talent and former KSCB/Santa Barbara, CA Dir./News & Public Affairs Lisa Osborn has returned to KKGO for middays. Martindale was on her second tour with the station, the first in middays before leaving in March of 2016 after three years, then returning for afternoons later that year (CAT 8/10/16). She previously spent 12 years at crosstown iHeartMedia AC KOST. "After so many wonderful years behind the mic, I’m stepping into a new chapter filled with family, adventure and a whole lot of gratitude," she shared on social media. Additionally, KKGO owner Saul Levine tells Country Aircheck, "We plan to play more '90s, [but] not to the neglect of hot Nashville new development."

Meanwhile, Levine says KKGO was the target of a hacker over the weekend. "We are operating under emergency conditions, but no programming lost," he reports. "A very dramatic first day on air, but Lisa [was] unfazed."
