Morning Becomes Eclectic

Morning Becomes Eclectic

Morning Becomes Eclectic (MBE) is a three-hour adult album alternative radio program first aired in 1977 and broadcast live every weekday from KCRW in Santa Monica, California. The show's name is a play on the Eugene O'Neill trilogy of plays, Mourning Becomes Electra.

The show is hosted by Jason Bentley, who also serves as the station's program director.[1] MBE was previously hosted by Tom Schnabel (July 1979 - November 1990), Chris Douridas (1990 - 1998) [2] and Nic Harcourt (1998 - November 2008). The program was created by Isabel Holt.

The show is repeated twice on KCRW's music webcast, and live performances are also sometimes available as audio and video podcasts. Typically, the show features two or three live performances each week during the last hour of the day's broadcast.

KCRW Sounds Eclectico

KCRW Sounds Eclectico is a compilation album featuring live performances by leading Latin alternative artists on Morning Becomes Eclectic. The album was released by Nacional Records and co-produced by the show’s host Nic Harcourt and veteran Latin rock artist manager Tomas Cookman.
