Speaking of Philadelphia, how many DJs at "Famous 56" WFIL also worked in Los Angeles? I can think of four: Ron O'Brien worked at KFI, KIIS and KKBT and Tom Dooley, Banana Joe Montione and Frank Kingston Smith (who became "Bobby Mitchell") all worked at KHJ.
KABC recently signed a five-year deal to carry Kings hockey, which was previously heard on KEIB. The Dodgers are heard on KLAC but were heard on KABC from 1974 through 1997 and from 2008 through 2011. A few weeks ago there was a rumor---and no, I'm not the one who started it!---that KABC would try to regain Dodgers broadcast rights and build a sports format around the team. Then a second rumor arose that KLAC might retain the Dodgers by giving the team a share of the station. With KFWB joining the CBS Sports Network next month, a sports format on KABC would be competing with KLAC, KSPN, KFWB, KLAA, XEPRS and Spanish-language KWKW.
By the way, Jul, as far as KABC being "trounced by KFI," KFI hasn't been doing so well in the past several months either!
