KFI-AM
KFI is a radio station that began operating on March 15, 1922 as one of the United States' first high-powered, "clear channel" stations. Today, KFI broadcasts from its Los Angeles, California studios on 640 KHz on a 50,000-watt AM transmitter in nearby La Habra. Its signal can be heard throughout Southern California and some distance into Nevada, Arizona, northwestern Mexico, and, at night, in some parts of Hawaii. According to a May 1, 2004 broadcast by Art Bell, this station can even be heard by sensitive receivers in parts of the East coast.
KFI's current programming is a talk radio format and is owned by Clear Channel Communications. Syndicated personalities who began on KFI include Bill Handel, Phil Hendrie, Leo Laporte, Doctor Laura Schlessinger, and John and Ken. KFI carries other syndicated programs such as "The Rush Limbaugh Show" and "Coast-to-Coast AM." For nearly twenty years throughout the 1970s and 1980s, KFI boasted one of the most listened-to shows in Los Angeles radio history, the "Lohman and Barkley Show," featuring the comedy duo of Al Lohman and Roger Barkley.
