Monday, February 29 will be the final day of broadcasting for Sports 980
The Beast KFWB Los Angeles. Universal Media Access will take control of the
station on March 1 and launch South Asian Desi 980. KFWB began its current
Sports format in August 2014. The KFWB License Trust sold it to Universal
Media Access in January for $8 million after CBS Radio was forced to divest
it. Neither the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers or MLS’ Los Angeles Galaxy have
announced new flagship stations yet. The Clippers will remain on 980
through the remainder of the current season if they do not sign to move to
a new flagship station.
