BAY AREA RADIO STATION WILL HONOR ALYSA LIU WITH ONE-DAY RENAME

A Bay Area radio station will be honoring Olympic figure skating gold medalist Alysa Liu by renaming itself on Monday. The 96.5 KOIT radio station announced it will change its name to Alysa 96.5 for a day to celebrate Liu. This comes after the 20-year-old delivered a shout out to her hometown on Thursday.

"Alysa Liu has made the entire Bay Area proud, and we wanted to celebrate her historic achievement in a way that reflects just how much she means to this community," 96.5 KOIT Director of Programming Operations Brian Figula said. Then, Liu’s golden performance at the Olympics was the first for an American woman in individual figure skating since Sarah Hughes in 2002.
