Funnyman Adam Carolla, the popular LA radio talk show host whose “Adam Carolla Show” program took the timeslot once held by Howard Stern on CBS Radio, has lost his gig. Today, CBS Radio officially announced that all KLSX will change to "AMP RADIO" this Friday, February 20, at 5 p.m. The new format is described as “playing all the hits.” The show canned other personalities including Tom Leykis, and Frosty, Heidi, and Frank.

At the end of 2007, Carolla had signed a “multiyear extension” for the “Adam Carolla Show” and CBS Radio execs at the time raved that the show had “far exceeded expectations and proven to be a listener favorite,” even adding they, “anticipate even more success for the program in the years to come.”

    I will tell anyone that will listen that Adam Carolla should not be off the air. Please bring the whole gang back!!!!! I am in a deep state of depression when I think about the morning coming and I will not wake up to the witty drops of Bald Brain, the amazing news elegantly delivered by Teresa and of course the wonderful rants served by Adam, I don't want to get out of bed, I will do anything to get Adam back on the radio including buying every thing advertised on his show from Taco Bell to every Junior College he ironically endorses.

    PS Bring Back Adam
