SCPR’s LAist Partners with Ankler Media for Hollywood Coverage
Southern Califiornia Public Radio’s KPCC, Pasadena “LAist 89.3” is partnering with the entertainment industry’s Ankler Media for it to provide Hollywood news and analysis across LAist’s multiple platforms.
The Ankler team will anchor “Entertainment Thursday” on “LAist 89.3,” reporting the latest news from Hollywood and offering insightful analysis throughout that day every week. SCPR chief content officer Kristen Muller comments, “Ankler Media is essential reading for the entertainment industry – from the studio C-suite to set builders and makeup artists.”
Los Angeles listeners have long mixed the station up with L.A.’s other NPR affiliate, KCRW, and more recently wondered what the connection is between KPCC and LAist.” Southern California Public Radio acquired LAist.com and its archives in 2018. This rebranding puts the radio station, website and podcast creator LAist Studios under the same banner.
