 A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond
This building was a supermarket before KFWB moved in in 1976, and that gave Group W lots of room to build a big, column-free newsroom right at the heart of the operation.
KFWB, like KNX, has begun to diverge a bit from its all-news mission; a few years back, it became the flagship of the Los Angeles Dodgers network, and on this early October afternoon it's carrying a National League divisional series game.
KFWB has a healthy respect for its own long and fascinating history; its conference room is lined with photos chronicling the station's early days as the Warner Brothers station (hence the "WB" in the calls) and its top-40 "Color Radio" legacy of the fifties and sixties.

 Color Radio History And KFWB Jingles
The Color Radio format began at radio station KFWB "Color Channel 98" in Los Angeles, on January 2,1958.
The Color Radio format continued on for several years, and in the radio world where formats change as often as the weather, it was proof of a format that worked.
Incidentally, KFWB, the station that started it all,continued with funky,innovative jingles right up until March 1968, when the station went to twenty four hour news, which it continues to this day.The very distinctive K-F-W-B chord changes can still be heard today.

Rudman, 58, is director of engineering for KFWB, one of seven Infinity stations in the Los Angeles area, and one of two that are all-news.
Keeping everything working for KFWB’s staff of more than 30 anchors and reporters may be a daunting task for Rudman and his staff of two technicians, but his workload has eased a bit since the Infinity era began in 1996.
For the Los Angeles Auto Show last June, KFWB relocated its entire afternoon anchor team to the convention hall, along with six terminals tied into the studio computer system through dial-up connections.

Before KFWB went on the air, the engineers, announcers and reporters went through a week-long dry run, "broadcasting" into the station's offices and a hotel room to get off to a smooth start.
"KFWB was an instant success in the L.A. market," wrote Humphries in the second edition of Don Barrett's book, "Los Angeles Radio People." "On the day it went on the air, there was only one client advertising on the station.
Today, although both L.A. news stations are CBS-owned, the rivalry between KFWB and KNX continues.

Almost as soon as KFWB announced that they were going to debut a new business/financial news hour, KNX beat them to the punch and launched their own business news show fully one week before KFWB's (2/8 for KFWB, 2/16 for KNX).
KFWB has also introduced a new monthly one-hour program called, "Ask the Mayor," starring Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan and KFWB morning anchor Kathleen Sullivan (Sullivan being named morning anchor is another story in itself).
It is the offshoot of a KFWB business breakfast last November at which Riordan spoke.

As explained by Vice President and General Manager Roger Nadel, KFWB is counting on the Dodgers to help it reverse a long spell in which it has trailed rival KNX-AM (1070) in the ratings race.
If the application is accepted, KFWB would continue to be owned by Infinity, but the company would have no voice in its day-to-day management.
And we tried to do it in a way that would have the least impact on the morning, afternoon and midday periods, which in that order are the three most important times of the day for us.

 Baseball Toaster: Dodger Thoughts : Will 2007 Be the Dodgers' Last Year on KFWB?
The Dodgers have been a poor fit on KFWB since they began airing their game broadcasts there.
If Arte moves English-language broadcasts over to his wholly-owned 830 AM station (whose call letters have been changed to KLAA -- is that a hint or what?), it would indeed open up the Dodgers to a far better situation on the radio airwaves.

 Radio AM to FM
One of those milestones was the birth of top-40 "Color Radio" KFWB on January 1, 1958, creating a station that ruled Los Angeles from that point until 1964, when KRLA (1110 AM) knocked them out of the top spot.
Blore likes all those ones, not only because of the original debut date, but because "we spent so much time on the air stating that we were number one," he joked.
It won't be known as KFWB either, as KFWB still lives on as an all-news station (although there are some observers who feel that a return of Color Radio to AM 98 wouldn't be a bad idea).

Infinity has asked that KFWB be put in trust for five years.
By tabbing KFWB for the trust, Infinity-owner Viacom Inc. elected to gamble with its local station with the weakest signal -- at 5,000 watts -- and the one that's garnered the lowest ratings during the past two years.
Another consideration may have been that KFWB is the only station among Infinity's local assets that is housed in its own building.

As the song climbed the charts, Usher assembled a band which toured with The Beach Boys in support of "Little Honda", which eventually peaked at #9 on the U.S. pop singles chart.
An album Go Little Honda was put together, most of the songs on which were written by Usher and KFWB disc jockey and lyricist Roger Christian and concerned Honda motorcycles ("Hon-da Beach Party", "Haulin' Honda", "Two Wheel Show Stopper", "A Guy Without Wheels"...).
Its picture sleeve showed a four-member group and its liner notes contained an elaborate back story, penned by Christian, which posited one Ritchie Burns as the founder and leader of the band.
