The former KIQQ on-air personality was a longtime entertainment reporter on KABC/7.
I was a huge fan of KIQQ during the station’s new-wave top-40 days of the early 1980s. It wasn’t necessarily the most polished station; indeed, the station could at times sound very low-budget. But it had a playlist that overlapped the best of KROQ and was often the first station in town to break new music and new bands with an emphasis on British acts along with homegrown artists.
For a time, in addition to her other duties, she worked with Jay Coffee in morning drive, but her best-known work was her features. If you were a faithful listeners as I was, you may remember her extended sign-off: “I’m Francesca Cappucci on K ……….I ………..Q ………………………………….Q.” Last week, I got the bad news from KPFK Car Show host David Kunz that Capucci had passed away; she died at the age of 64 due to cancer.
