Would if it were. The history of KDYA 1190 is Lou Ripa's KNBA in Vallejo with
a totally different format and nothing remarkable in its history (unless you
consider Lou's morning restaurant interviews of 40 years ago).

KDIA 1640 is an extended band drop-in with no history. The KDIA callsign used
to belong to a totally unrelated station (KMKY 1310).

The offices are in a generic office building in Richmond, which could have
been a law firm or any other generic office.

There's no there there.

And this isn't unlike other stations. Today's radio stations are computers
like people have at home, mixing boards like one might see in a DJ booth at a
nightclub, though not as sophisticated, transmitters are in distant locations
that nobody but the chief engineers visit. There's really not much to see.
