KNX News in Los Angeles Hosts L.A. County District Attorney Debate

Just as ballots arrived at homes across America’s largest county, Audacy’s KNX News 97.1 FM in Los Angeles presented a live debate Tuesday (10/8) in the pivotal race for L.A. County district attorney between incumbent George Gascon (pictured at left podium) and challenger Nathan Hochman (right). Also pictured above: KNX News’s Mike Simpson (l) and Charles Feldman (r) moderated. The feisty drive-time debate, which was presented in partnership with The Los Angeles Times from the Audacy SoundSpace, cast a sharp contrast between the candidates and made news by addressing Gascon’s recent decision to review the murder convictions of the Menendez brothers, the subjects of the Netflix series “Monsters.”
