Tilden returning to KABC-AM

Peter Tilden, a morning host at country music station KZLA-FM (93.9) until it changed formats (and call letters) last August, is rejoining talk station KABC-AM (790), where he toiled for most of the 1990s.

Tilden will be heard weeknights from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m., starting April 9. Although the hours are different, he is replacing Marc Germain, who had billed himself as Mr. KABC. Germain left in February and now works weekday afternoons at talk station KTLK-AM (1150).

Meanwhile, there was another new voice on the local radio airways Monday, as Summer James replaced Richard Blade as weekday 7 p.m.-midnight host at soft-rock music outlet KYSR-FM (98.7). James previously worked at KCAL-FM in San Bernardino/Riverside.
