News Radio 980 KFWB

J

Wow. All Access is reporting that CBS is getting out of the news business in LA after 40 years. They are flipping News Radio 980 KFWB to AM Talk... Could KRLD's days be numbered in light of the recent cuts???
 
Nevermind. Seems like they are keeping news for morning and afternoon drive and adding Laura Ingraham and Dr. Laura in the middle.
 
KFWB's partial flip aside, C(BS) isn't getting out of it in El Lay as
they also have (mostly) all-news KNX 1070, with 50 gallons.

Aside: can you ever pick up KNX in DFW at night, if/when KRLD
has its I-CRAP turned off?

You're more likely to get KFTI in Wichita, Kansas...but if you are able to null that out, it is possible to get KNX during the early morning hours...but nowadays there's alot of co-channel interference.

I recall that KNX would boom into the Texas Panhandle with no interference years ago.
 
I got KNX at night in Albuquerque and Santa Fe four years ago, but that's the farthest I've ever gotten it. I agree that you're most likely to get Wichita on 1070, but most radios in Dallas, even before IBOC, weren't likely to get anything on 1070.
 
I'm so old that I can remember when KFWB was top-40.

When my father attended the University of Santa Clara in the San Francisco area, I could hear 98 KFWB at night although it had only 5,000 watts. All-news began in March 1968 ... more than 40 years ago when all-news was rather novel.

In recent months, KFWB was no longer all news -- airing lots of infomercials on the weekends rather than ALL news.
