KFWB (AM)
Encyclopedia
KFWB is a Los Angeles, California
AM
radio station operating on 980 kHz with 5,000 watt
s of power from a transmitter site near Lincoln Park (East Los Angeles). The station had a mostly all-news format
from 1968 until September 8, 2009, after which it converted to a news-talk
format. KFWB is owned and operated by Clark Radio LLC.
, the founder of Warner Brothers. The station launched the careers of such stars as Ronald Reagan
and Bing Crosby
. The station was the first to broadcast the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena
, California.
Although some think its call letters stand for Keep Filming Warner Bros., actually the callsign was sequentially issued by the Department of Commerce
, predecessor to the FCC
(March 1925) at the same time as KFWA in Ogden Utah (Feb 1925) and KFWC for San Bernardino (also Feb 1925).
A 1940 Merrie Melodies
cartoon, produced by Warner Bros. (and directed by Chuck Jones
), entitled "Bedtime for Sniffles," has Sniffles
the mouse trying to stay awake for Santa Claus, and a radio announcer signs off for the night identifying the station as KFWB. Another cartoon of the same year, "The Timid Toreador," co-directed by Bob Clampett
, shows an announcer broadcasting on this station. (A good trick, since the action takes place in Mexico
, which has a totally different ITU prefix
block.) However, the Merrie Melodies
cartoon for "I've Got A Torch Song" released in conjunction with "Gold Diggers of 1933" has KFWB written on the microphones in the scenes of the torch singers.
In 1946, KFWB imported two disc jockeys from New York City
: Maurice Hart of WNEW
, whose drive-time show Start the Day Right was described as "Words and Music Straight from the Hart", and Martin Block
, who coined the phrase "Make-Believe Ballroom", which was later used by Al Jarvis when Block returned to New York. In those days, disc jockeys selected their own music, either from KFWB's extensive record library, or new songs brought to them by "song pluggers". Old and new, vocal and instrumental were mixed together to the disc jockey's choice.
KFWB was sold to its long-time general manager, Harry Maizlish, in 1950, and soon after moved off the Warner Brothers lot to join Maizlish's FM station, KFMV, on Hollywood Boulevard.
In 1958, under new owners Crowell-Collier Broadcasting
, producer Chuck Blore who would later go on to greater fame producing long-running radio syndicate programs such as The Ace Trucking Company featuring perpetually befuddled Raymond J. Johnson famous for his catchphrase "You can call me Ray, or you can call me Ray Jay...", Blore transformed the station into a Top 40 format called Channel 98 Color Radio. The station became one of the most highly listened to stations in the Southland
and in the nation. But alas, times changed, and in the mid-60's, KFWB was overtaken by rival KRLA. Then KRLA was put in second place by the launch of Boss Radio
at 93/KHJ
, and this relegated KFWB to the position of the third-place pop music station in the L.A. market.
KFWB was later purchased by Westinghouse
in 1966. On March 11, 1968, the station was relaunched as an all news radio station. The station promoted itself with its slogan, "You give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world", as first used by New York Westinghouse station WINS
. Its goal was to give a full newscast every 22 minutes, the average commute
time in Los Angeles.
, a subsidiary of CBS Corporation
which also owns KNX
, the only all-news station in Los Angeles. KFWB and KNX famously feuded as all-news rivals for years, both on radio and in television advertising. Like its former Westinghouse
, now CBS Radio, sister stations (and fellow all-news stations) 1010 WINS
in New York and KYW News Radio 1060
in Philadelphia, KFWB had a running teletype
sound effect
in the background during regular newscasts.
In the spring of 2003, KFWB began to broadcast the Los Angeles Dodgers
baseball games over the radio. These games are not available on KFWB's internet stream due to league restrictions. For this reason, the station had to abandon its other slogan, "All news, all the time." In comparison to KNX, KFWB ran more sports stories, had longer traffic reports, and updated top headlines every ten minutes instead of KNX, which updates headlines at the top and bottom of the hour.
KFWB once aired not only the Dodgers games, but also many National Football League
games from Westwood One
. The NFL broadcasts stopped after the 2007 Pro Bowl
, and the Dodgers left KFWB after the 2007 season
, some months later, to return to KABC
. With that, the slogan "all news, all the time" returned. However, in 2008, the NFL broadcasts returned, but from the Sports USA Radio network, which airs only regular season games.
Beginning in 2008, KNX and KFWB were jointly branded as CBSNewsRadioLA. The CBSNewsRadioLA brand is used for simulcasted special programming and for marketing to advertisers. In addition, there were no longer separate field reporters for KNX and KFWB, and CBSNewsRadioLA reporters filed the same stories for both stations.
Also beginning with the 2009 season, KFWB began broadcasting weekday baseball games of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
, although the flagship remained the Angels-owned KLAA. Also, as it was announced on August 13, 2009, the station and the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers
signed a multi-year broadcast rights pact, with KFWB carrying every Clippers contest.
On September 8, 2009, the station adopted a news-talk format, adding syndicated shows such as Dave Ramsey, Laura Ingraham
, Dr. Laura Schlessinger
(who moved from longtime flagship KFI
) and Michael Smerconish
. Doug Stephan
's "Good Day" program also airs during the overnight hours. In 2011, Dr. Laura left the station, Dave Ramsey moved to 11am-2pm and the station added motivational speaker Les Brown to its afternoon lineup.
On November 2nd 2011, CBS Radio is now put in a trust headed by former Shamrock executive Bill Clark under the name Clark Radio LLC. This was due to CBS Corp.'s ownership limitations after they bought KCAL-TV
9 years prior.
, at 6423 Hollywood Blvd. Eventually the studios were also moved to the Warner Theater. Those two towers are still there, as well. Years later, when KFWB was sold to KFWB Broadcasting Co. (Harry Maizlish), the studios moved to 6419 Hollywood Blvd. (now demolished), and the transmitter moved to the area near La Cienega and Rodeo Blvd., about 3 blocks south of the KECA/KABC plant. In the mid 1950s, the transmitter moved, again, to its present location, diplexed with KLAC in East LA. The studios moved in 1977 to 6230 Yucca St., also in Hollywood. In June 2005, KFWB moved into new studios on Wilshire Boulevard in the Miracle Mile
district, sharing facilities with its sister CBS Radio
stations KNX
, KTWV
and KRTH.
