Bentley

UPDATE: After 10 years as the host of Morning Becomes Eclectic, KCRW music director Nic Harcourt will leave his post on Nov. 30 to pursue several independent projects. He will now DJ a three-hour show on Sundays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Today KCRW named DJ Jason Bentley as the new music director, and he will host the morning show starting Dec. 1.

Regarding the appointment, Bentley said, “I’m immensely grateful for the opportunity and humbled by the task, which is to open a new chapter for the station. It’s a reinvention of myself to match the gold standards set by previous music directors. It’s no longer the hypnotic pulse of the city at night—it’s the ever-evolving optimism of weekday mornings.”

    It’s beyond time for him to pass the torch. I just hope whomever fills in will have an equal passion for British rock n roll…

    Whoever takes over for Nic must play The Cortinas at least once a week and swoon for Morrissey. A British accent also helps.

    It was time. I love Harcourt but he was slipping into world music hell at times, slowly but surely. Maybe even growing a ponytail 😛
    This new guy though, might be too much of a lover of bleeps, blops and blips. Who knows?

    One last thing. How did people take it when Douridas was replaced by N. Harcourt?
    Douridas was more of our type of guy when it came to just rawk and being replaced must have been weird. I wasn’t listening to the show or station back then, that’s why i ask.
