Competition
KXOL has 7 competing stations. 105.9 KPWR (Power 106), 93.9 KXOS (Exitos), 102.7 KIIS (KIIS FM), and 97.1 KAMP (AMP Radio) compete with KXOL in the L.A. area. 99.1 KGGI competes with KXOL in the IE and parts of east L.A. County. 104.7 KCAQ(aka Q104-7) and 103.3 KVYB(aka The Vibe) compete with KXOL in parts of Ventura County and L.A. County(in areas near the L.A. County-Ventura County border line. KVYB's signal can only be heard in very little of KXOL's signal coverage areas because of KVYB's signal coming from distant Santa Barbara.
96.1 KWIE at one point had the same hurban music format as KXOL, but then later changed to a Rhythmic Top 40 music format up until its flip to Regional Mexican in August 2007. KVYB, whose format originally started out as a hybrid Hurban/Rhythmic because of its target audience at the beginning of that station's debut, has now completely shifted to a more Rhythmic direction.

Famous quotes containing the word competition:
“Mothers seem to be in subtle competition with teachers. There is always an underlying fear that teachers will do a better job than they have done with their child.... But mostly mothers feel that their areas of competence are very much similar to those of the teacher. In fact they feel they know their child better than anyone else and that the teacher doesn’t possess any special field of authority or expertise.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Like many businessmen of genius he learned that free competition was wasteful, monopoly efficient. And so he simply set about achieving that efficient monopoly.”
—Mario Puzo (b. 1920)
“Wearing overalls on weekdays, painting somebody else’s house to earn money? You’re working class. Wearing overalls at weekends, painting your own house to save money? You’re middle class.”
—Lawrence Sutton, British prizewinner in competition in Sunday Correspondent (London)
