Silent Treatment: In this election year, today is the 10th consecutive Saturday that radio listeners in the Southland will be unable to hear President Clinton’s weekly radio address--and the Republican response. KPCC-FM (89.3) in Pasadena had initially planned to pick up the broadcast after KUSC-FM (91.5) dropped it in favor of new syndicated programming in January. But Rod Foster, KPCC’s general manager, said this week that he now wants to wait until late spring or early summer and include the speech as part of a package of “major changes” in his program schedule. No other stations have stepped forward to carry the radio address. The White House, which offers the program free, declined to venture an opinion about the lack of coverage in the nation’s second-largest media market. The speech is “available to any station,” spokesman Josh Silverman said. “[The stations] have to make editorial decisions.”
