Cardiff Studios owner, announcer/producer Rich Capparela, was also the weekday morning host at Los Angeles radio station Classical 105.1 KMZT-FM (K-Mozart) for a dozen years, ending his time there when the station changed formats in February of 2007. In March of that year Rich returned to public station KUSC, 91.5 FM where he is now heard weekday afternoons from 4 until 7.
