 In 1997, Leykis's show was picked up by KLSX, an FM talk station in Los Angeles that also carried "The Howard Stern Show".The station became the flagship for the show and Leykis began to tone down the political aspect of the show around this time, and started the "Leykis 101" segment soon after.In 2002, "The Tom Leykis Show" was briefly heard on an irregular basis in New York City on WNEW.
