## Resource

KROQ was an L.A. institution for decades, but they hit rock bottom a decade ago, plummeting to 23rd in the ratings. But thanks to Kevin Klein & Ally Johnson, KROQ is back on top as a purveyor of culture & great music in L.A. We talk to Klein/Ally about their origin stories, how they dealt with years of near-failure, and what the secret was to the station's miraculous turnaround.
