KFWB

And again, my heart goes out to her, the NBC family, and of course, the family and friends of Eliana and George.

Uh, Dan Avey was a good friend of mine, the late, great Dan Avey, longtime, uh, LA newsman at KABC, KFWB, uh, KFI, and elsewhere.

And I, I distinctly remember a story that he told me.

When he was doing a show on KFI with, uh, Gary Owens, uh, who was the host, and, and Dan was the newsman, and they threw it to their helicopter reporter, who was Bruce Wayne at KFI in the sky.

And I was just,

It's one of those stories I had to listen to again on KFWB.

And then when you see it in the Times, I had to keep reading, like, that's not true.

Not him.

President Bush has been touring the damage in Manhattan and talking with rescue workers at the scene of the World Trade Center collapse.

KFWB's Keith Olbermann has a live update from New York City.

While the president sees all this for the first time, for the now four-day veterans of this grim work, it doesn't just continue, it almost becomes monumental.

The shot scratches across a police radio blaring here onto Canal Street.

It's a development, and whatever horror that led up to it, so grisly, so improbable, that on any other day it would have been the lead story somewhere.

However, here, on day four, it is just a detail.

Live on Canal Street, Keith Colberman, KFWB News 980.

KFWB Newstime 1007.

He was known as Happy Harry and the Golden Voice of the Midwest, and in the late 1920s was the first announcer for the Amos and Andy radio show.

Geis worked for numerous radio stations on the East Coast and the Midwest, plus KMTR, KFWB, KFI, and KNX, all here in Los Angeles.

Geis has three film credits to his name in the mid-1930s for An Sudden Death, Absolute Quiet, and Public Enemy No. 1.

In 1942, Guys was working as an entertainer at the Silver Dollar Cafe on South Main in Los Angeles.

I think it was about 35,000 or 40,000 people.

And what kind of music was I listening to? I had a little transistor radio and I was listening to stations like KFWB and KHJ out here in California.

And man, I was fixated on the Beach Boys and Culver City was only about five miles from the beach.

And though I'd never been on a surfboard, I heard the Beach Boys song.

Let's go! "If you're gonna play that music and make a racket get outside!" We'd just go outside and stay in the car play the radio and sing songs and sometimes we'd spend the night in his car.

My favorite was KFWB in Hollywood.

I used to listen to them all the time.

I used to love the radio anyway Little Anthony & The Imperials were that Tears On My Pillow some of those harmonies that you could ...

And then that's their break.

And the song entered the local KFWB top 40 survey.

I guess that's, you know, local area, local charts at 33 and 75 on the national billboard chart.

Wow.

Yeah.

So anyway, what happened, but also Wayne Sacks became very involved and Jim, Jim Murray, Murray from KFWB.

I know

Jim.
