From a Times staff writer

Marc Germain is looking for a new moniker.

After 10 years of being known on the air as Mr. KABC, he and his employers at talk station KABC-AM (790) were unable to agree on a new contract. Mark Isler is filling in as host of the weekday 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. slot until a permanent replacement is named.

Before being hired at KABC, Germain was Mr. KFI.
