KABC has a new PD


From the radioinsght.com link posted by @TheBigA comes this quote:

"(Art) Webb stated, “I’m excited to step into this role and build on the strong foundation already in place at both stations. Our focus remains on creating engaging, relevant content that truly connects with California listeners while continuing to elevate the incredible work of our talented teams. With such outstanding rosters in Los Angeles and San Francisco, I’m looking forward to sharing in much success together.”"

I have heard of people always being in promotion mode but this seems like fantasyland to me. Perhaps if he managed to move the stations leftward just a little bit...
 
KABC sold their studio/transmitter site and moved to the KWKW site 1.6 miles to the east. They do have studios in Culver City


If one is wondering where KABC Radio current offices are it’s from the Cumulus San Francisco office. Yes that’s where the PD of KSFO is located in San Francisco area at 2001 Junipero Serra blvd, Daly City. Yes that also means the PD of KSFO and KABC is mainly control the programming from that location.
 
That's not true.
OK now I see Westwood One's/Cumulus Los Angeles office in Culver City. Its just whenever we hear that KABC-AM is automated. My first thought was that KABC-AM PD is in San Francisco given that he's also assigned to KSFO and their offices had to be in the Bay Area at first. Now I see where KABC's LA operations is located in Westwood ones LA office.


 
Oh, you could ... when so many have gone before you and failed?

Look, let's face it. Go read any of the threads about KABC and its current programming. It's there to clear Westwood One programming and get whatever pay-for-play business that it can (sports, infomercials, etc.).

Cumulus is stuck with a lone AM, with a less than desirable signal, and even if they listed it with a broker they wouldn't get any takers. I don't believe they even have local studios and offices since they vacated the old La Cienega building; the official mailing address on the FCC license records is the corporate offices in Atlanta.

Until the cost of running it on autopilot substantially exceeds what revenue it can bring in, it is what it is.
Isn’t the John Phillips and Randy Wang
Noon-3 show local from LA and now simulcast in SF?

And Frank Mottek, who no longer has the privilege of having his own hour on a 50K-watt all-news station in KNX in favor of a low-watt talk station that’s a shell of its former self.
