Angels announcers to call road games remotely

They really don't have any money right now, and they have nothing to trade to Disney. They need to build up $650 million to meet a debt obligation next year. So they're in sell-mode now.

Disney seems to be willing to let Good Karma use 1110 when they need it.
Unless Audacy would need to buy ABC Radio KABC 790 AM to become as The Bet LA with the affiliation of CBS Sports Radio the call signs would change it to KCTD

The would air the sporting events:

Los Angeles Angels MLB Baseball
Las Vegas Raiders NFL Football
USC Trojans College Football and College Basketball
UC Irvine Anteaters Men's College Basketball
Los Angeles Galaxy MLS Soccer
Westwood One Sports

That's my other suggestion and it's very hard to find a new radio station here in the Los Angeles Market
 
They don't.
KWIF 1510 AM in Culver City would be an option to be sold by Audacy to become as a Sports Talk Radio Station with an affiliation of CBS Sports Radio branding as "The Bet LA 1510 AM" they would air these sporting events since they're building a new transmitters to start the frequency on the air:

Los Angeles Angels MLB Baseball
Anaheim Ducks NHL Hockey
Las Vegas Raiders NFL Football
UC Irvine Anteaters Men's College Basketball
Los Angeles Galaxy MLS Soccer
Westwood One Sports

That's my other suggestion hopefully Audacy would start buying KWIF AM when these station start to be on the air sometime this year
 
If CBS/Audacy wanted to do sports bad enough they should’ve kept KFWB. It was a shortsighted move. Nothing they can do now, no play by play right (ESPN LA has the Rams technically), and Jim Rome is irrelevant

Just stop. It’s not going to happen. There’s no room for more sports talk in L.A. There‘s not room for the two sports stations we have now. I don’t even see kspn in the ratings

KLAA 830 AM should start flipping to a Vietnamese language talk radio as Viên Thao Radio that would be a great choice

The only 1510 in So Cal is KSPA in San Bernardino, and ity has been silent since Spring of 2020. It does not cover any significant part of the LA market; in fact, it has no 10 mV/m signal anywhere in LA or OC.

There is no KWIF I can find in the FCC database... not even a tiny "wif" of it.

You may be thinking of the dismissed application for 1500 in western LA. It was denied and in any case was and application for just a few hundred watts on an absolutely terrible frequency that covers no area where English speaking sports talk listeners live.
 
Why do they need to buy a station when they have KNX 1070 just sitting there simulcasting?
Because the AM continues to contribute a significant percentage of KNX listeners and AQH persons/share/rating.

No, they are not. CP denied.

If they don't have a CP, they can not build it.

Great election

I never thought about 1070 to become as The Bet LA as Sports Talk Radio branding as "The Bet LA 1070 AM" with the affiliation of CBS Sports Radio they need change their call signs to KCTD

Now they would air these sporting events for example:

Los Angeles Angels MLB Baseball
Los Angeles Galaxy MLS Soccer
Las Vegas Raiders NFL Football
Anaheim Ducks NHL Hockey
USC Trojans College Football and College Basketball
UC Irvine Anteaters Men's College Basketball
Westwood One Sports


I should of thought about 1070 before but thank you for letting me know hopefully it will happen sometime this year if God will

PLEASE: Before suggesting impossible/improbably/impractical thing, try to ask one of the many experts who post here for practical solutions for the perceived problem you are looking to solve.

Almost everything you suggest is impossible. The major teams named have unbreakable contracts with other stations. Many of the team schedules overlap, preventing any agreement. A number of those teams have such small followings that they would be like a sea anchor to the station. KNX-1070 AM is a vital part of one of LA's top billing stations, so it is not available.

Thank you. I have my doubts but I hope that user gets the message.
 
It's really easy to use the "ignore user" function on this site. I do it often.
However, moderators are served a daily plate of haggis that must be eaten.
