"The World Famous KROQ" — 106.7 FM, licensed to Pasadena and heard across Los Angeles — is America's archetypal alternative rock station. Its late-1970s "Roq of the 80s" era broke punk and new wave acts to US audiences, and it later became the flagship home of Loveline and the Kevin & Bean morning show. Now owned by Audacy, KROQ still defines what alternative sounds like in Southern California.
