NORTHRIDGE, CA (CelebrityAccess) — Eagles guitarist and music legend Joe Walsh has been announced as the host for a weekly radio show on independent, college-supported AAA radio stations KCSN and KSBR.

The weekly, one-hour โ€œThe Joe Walsh Old-Fashioned Rock nโ€™ Roll Radio Showโ€ will debut at 6 p.m. this Saturday, May 21. Walsh is a longtime listener and contributor to 88.5-FM, and came up with the idea for the show while homebound during the pandemic.

โ€œThis public radio station serves the community I live in and is funded by listeners,โ€ Walsh said. โ€œI like that men with ties donโ€™t decide what I listen to. My show will be a mixture of music I love, music I think people will want to hear and stories behind some of these songs that Iโ€™m pretty sure no one knows about. Hopefully, the show will generate some more listeners and support for the station, and we will have a lot of fun in the process.โ€

โ€œWhile we hate seeing all the shows and festivals cancel this summer,โ€ added 88.5-FM General Manager Patrick Osburn. โ€œWe are thrilled to have Joe killing time on 885โ€™s airwaves. It will be great for Joe, the station, and listeners!โ€

Walsh will broadcast on KCSN, which is a service of the California State University, Northridge and will be simulcast on KSBR from Saddleback College in Mission Viejo.

Joe will have oversight of the broadcast’s programming, which will include a mix of music and talk.

โ€œJoe will have free reign to essentially take over the programming duties for 88.5-FM for his hour,โ€ Osburn said. โ€œHis playlist and blend of stories and anecdotes should make for an engaging 60 minutes. Being entertainment royalty and one of the many local fixtures of the SoCal/Hollywood community, we anticipate Joeโ€™s rolodex of potential guests runs deep, so we feel great about giving him the keys to the car! Itโ€™s flattering to have rock legends listening and financially supporting the station.โ€

This won’t be Walsh’s first turn behind the mic. During the 1980s, he served as a frequent guest DJ on Saturday nights on Los Angeles radio station KLOS.
