KPCC hires Jason Kandel ... AND keeps Alex Cohen

Good moves both. My buddy Jason Kandel of the Los Angeles Daily News is going over to public radio behemoth KPCC-FM (89.3) as online managing editor, and the station, in its wisdom, is keeping one of L.A.'s greatest radio resources, ex-"Day to Day" co-host Alex Cohen, as local host of "All Things Considered."

(Sorry for the smallish Alex Cohen image at left; she's fairly scarce on the Web).
