WHAT STATION IS THAT ?

Hey.
I am watching some of coverage on the ABC-7 website about the BART strike. They had an aerial and a ground shot of some of the traffic jam at the BAY BRIDGE TOLL PLAZA. It looks like there is an antenna farm for some radio station(s) in the background. Just curious, what station is that?

Looking north near toll plaza ,towers very near roadway & water are 3 in line towers for KMKY 1310,furthest from roadway near water are 3 in line towers for KNEW 960 ,towers furthest east in same general area are 3 in line towers for KIQI 1010.

Haven't been in area in awhile but I think I got it correct.

Yep. During the heydays of those stations (KDIA, KABL, and KSAY) in the 1960s, they all had their studios at the transmitters. Sometimes the water would get so high at KDIA that some people didn't want to go to work for fear of getting electrocuted. Of course, it never happened, but it looked scary at high tide sometimes.
