KFI 640 AM Los Angeles Commercial (1978)

A commercial for then-contemporary music station KFI, in Los Angeles. As what happened with most AM music stations in the 1980s, KFI eventually went all talk, and remains in that format today.

Slight correction on your discription. KFI is in Los Angeles, CA. Pretty much everything else is true. It's currently a Clear Channel talk radio filled with Rush wanna-be.

The funny thing is, I *knew* KFI was in LA, since I had already put that in the video title, but there was an inconsistency with the description I hadn't yet noticed! Thanks.

Their tag was "KFI: More Stimulating Talk Radio" lol. Yeah, stimulating like jab in the eye. Back in the day it was KLOS and KPFK for me. Pirate Radio was cool for a moment. Can't remember the call letters.

... I never listened to KFI640 AM in all the years I grew up in SoCal. I always tuned to KHJ or KEZY. KTNQ was for cholos... not for me. I hate gangsta thugs & their 'ilk*. Now I listen to KFI 640 AM EVERY DAY for John & Ken's insights... Tim Conway Jr. & Aron Bender for laughs & George Noory for "WTF?". Conservative Talk rules. BTW I'm NOT WHITE OR REPUBLICAN... so get over *it*. So 'Nuff Sed.

I'ts sad that they threw out the good music on this station which was replaced by mean evil conservative talk show as we know it today.

Its an inevitable revolution. It's sad, but it had to happen, some say for the best, while others say for the worst.

KFI was a great AM station when you only had an AM radio in your car

That's Eric Chase doing the voice over. he was the afternoon jock for a few years in the mid to late 70's. He's been Paul Cristy in Houston since leaving KFI.

I *hate* talk radio. Shame this station became one.

I was in L.A. from September 27 to October 5 of that year for my 21st birthday.

Very cool... i still have quite a few cassette tapes I recorded during that time.... only problem is I was so far away that the signal would fade in and out, particularly depending on the weather, living on the coast.
