"The people have spoken, and we are excited to answer the call," said Audacy San Francisco and Sacramento Regional Vice President and Market Manager Stacey Kauffman. "After a six-year hiatus, Live 105 - THE Bay Area's Alternative - has returned to the airwaves! We are proud to bring back this local favorite that gives our loyal listeners and favorite Alternative artists from the 90s to today a place to call home again, right here in the Bay Area."

Live 105 will launch with Regional Vice President of Programming John Allers serving as Brand Manager. Jayn will serve as Music Director in addition to her role as Music Director for KLLC-FM (Alice @ 97.3) in San Francisco.

"Our entire team has great respect and admiration for what Live 105 means to the Bay Area Alternative community," said Allers. "We will continue to honor Live 105's rich history and legacy by bringing back brand mainstays such as 'Soundcheck' with Aaron Axelsen and other familiar voices while collaborating with Live 105 alumnus 'Miles The DJ' in guiding the evolution of Live 105 into the future."
