KFXM - Fantastic oldies station

M

mikecroaro

Folks:

Anyone listening online to KFXM-LP our of Lancaster, CA? www.kfxm.com

The songs range from the late 50's throught the 70's. They must have a playlist of 10,000 songs.

Perhaps the best oldies station I've ever listened to.

But then there's this:

"Churches on KFXM
You can hear broadcasts of previous services and teachings on KFXM 96.7 FM Starting at 6:30 AM Sundays. By the grace of God we got this radio station in a climate where multi-billion-dollar corporations dominate the airwaves. We can allocate part of Sunday morning to God to help keep us on the air. "

God does not like oldies. This is why oldies stations are failing, no?

Wait back in the 1960's KFXM was licensed to the Inland Empire.

The KXXX (once 99.7 SF) calls now reside in Colby, Kansas. KRQR is now "Z-Rock" in Chico, CA. KEWB are the call letters for "Power 94," a hip-hop station in Redding, CA.

Or take call letters once assigned to 103.7 - KSFX is now a TV station in Springfield, Missouri, while KLOK-FM made a shorter trip to Greenfield, CA.

KOME (once 98.5 San Jose) is now an FM station in Meridian TX.

Call letters (especially clever sounding ones) get picked up for new locations when nobody is using them.

KKHi once in SFO went to Denver and KNBC 680 went to channel 4 in LA.

That example is a little different. When that happened in the early 60s, NBC owned both 680 San Francisco and Channel 4 in LA. They wanted to apply the calls to their #2 market TV station, so they had to move them. In those days, the FCC did not allow broadcasters to split up call letters between two separate markets. By the 80s, when CBS wanted to apply KCBS to their Channel 2 in LA, the FCC had changed its mind about that...so there was no problem having KCBS-TV and FM in LA, and keeping KCBS-AM in San Francisco.

just turned 'em on... so far ,so good. Sounds like a West-coast version of the great WLNG on Long Island ( http://www.wlng.com/ )
which is also a live-n-local, mom-n-pop Oldies station that claims a 10,000-song library.
