QUICK TAKES - Feb. 21, 2009

Singer and DJ Henry Rollins, whose over-the-air radio gig at Indie 103 ended last month when the rock station changed to a Spanish-language format, has landed a job at KCRW-FM (89.9). His new show will air Saturdays from 6 to 8 p.m., starting March 7.

“I feel Henry’s tastes and perspectives are a good fit because he has a strong point of view and there are ideas behind all of his music selections,” says KCRW music director Jason Bentley, who is also the host of the station’s signature “Morning Becomes Eclectic” show. “He plays songs he is passionate about, and that makes great radio.”
