It is very stale and old-fashioned sounding. They've been using Ratt
for the News Sounder for what, five years now? There news sucks; all Michale Jackson and Robert Blake. Their Drive Time is wall to wall commercials, except for the ranting about the Mexicans. It's awful. I think the best technical air sound is on 1260.

David, I disagree I worked at KMPC for 22 years we had the best news
dept in Los Angeles now it's KFI. The hard news on the hour and half hour also breaking news coverage IMHO is the best. From your comments you don't like KFI, use the "on" and "off" button. I have nothing to do with KFI, as a former air talent, Vice President of Gene Autry's GWB,owner of KMPC, KSFO, KVI, KEX, and owner of radio stations my views are not personal. KFI is far from being stale and old fashion sounding. 1260, you have to be kidding. Are you in broadcasting?? David, I repeat nothing personal, just disagree. Also, don't know her. Terri Raye Elmer KFI, one of the best newscasters in LA. roger carroll, retired living the good life on Alamits Bay David wrote: It is very stale and old-fashioned sounding.

Actually, it is 25 kw with a top-loaded 1/8 wave vertical. There is no "nice" antenna anymore. |

Actually, it is 25 kw with a top-loaded 1/8 wave vertical. There is no "nice" antenna anymore. Well I found this on Radio Magazine http://beradio.com/searchresults/?terms=KFI&ord=d KFI Tower Felled by Plane Crash La Mirada, CA - Dec 19, 2004 - The Associated Press reports that a private plane crashed into the tower of KFI-AM at 9:45 a.m. on Dec. 19. The single-engine Cessna 182 brought the 760' tower down. The two people on the plane were killed. Their identities have not yet been released. The plane was en route to Fullerton Airport from El Monte when it crashed. Fullerton airport is about one mile from the tower site. The FAA reports that the pilot did not issue any distress reports. KFI's tower has resisted earthquakes and a brush with a private plane once before. The tower survived the previous air incident. The tower's guy wires were replaced in March 2004 after 47 years of use. KFI reports that the station was off the air for about an hour before switching to an auxiliary tower at the same site at about 5kW. The station is licensed for 50kW into the main antenna. I have heard them claim 50kW in the past and I thought 640 was one of the old "clear channels." Did they reduce power after putting up a new antenna? -- Telamon Ventura, California |
