![]() They’re not gonna be able to do anything about it because there’s not gonna be a budget to respond to anything.ĬALLER: Rush, again, I cannot underemphasize, this proves deep state has control of Pastor Eric Garcetti and the LA city council, and they’re gonna be having Antifa chip away. By the way, the cops are not gonna have to let the crime stats skyrocket. And if I was a property owner or business owner in LA, I would be packing up and getting the heck out while I could. The cops aren’t gonna get out to enforce. And it’s gonna be anarchy in the streets. ![]() The cops are gonna let the crime stats skyrocket to reflect badly upon this, to show that these cuts are wrong. But, secondly, when you cut the police budget and call for salary cuts, that is a line in the sand.” There’s gonna be a war. The police union head said, “We do not like to be dragged through the mud when you’re calling for reform for things we’re already doing. This is gonna be a war between city hall and the cops. Never have I seen a response so quickly to public demand. To me, when Pastor Garcetti comes out and says we’re gonna cut LAPD budget, it says deep state is in control of city hall. Hopefully, I’ll reflect some now regarding Los Angeles. First of all, I love you very much, and I love your brilliant insights. Welcome to the program.ĬALLER: Thanks, Rush. Richard Wagoner is a San Pedro freelance writer covering radio in Southern California.RUSH: We got Dave in Calabasas, California. Now I wonder if KMET’s (now KTWV, 94.7 FM) “Fish Report with a Beat” has any roots in Magnus. I found this clip, though I don’t know if it is an original or a remake. It would have been sometime in the early ’60s.”Ī I had not heard of that before, so I did a search and found that it was Johnny Magnus who did the bit, indeed called “Weather with a Beat,” I imagine on KMPC (now KSPN, 710 AM). Since my brother has passed, I can’t ask him, and I’d sure like to know because it’s driving me crazy. “I’m not sure it was called ‘Weather with a Beat’ but I think the name is similar. I believe it wasn’t a piece of music you could buy, I think it was just a tune someone wrote for this purpose. “The station would play a few beats of music, then silence, while a man would then say, to the beat of the music, ‘L.A., 68’ and whether it was Chicago or New York, he would always give it to the beat of the music. I can still hear the jazzy tune in my head after all these years. Q Could you please tell me what radio channel used to do ‘Weather with a Beat’? My older brother, who has since passed, used to listen to this all the time. The name “kiss” would not be used until later. KIIS, or “K-double-I-S” came on in 1970, the call letters being the closest “letter equivalent” to 115, the station’s shorthand frequency. In 1930 it became KMCS and in 1932 KRKD, to coincide with new owners and a move to the Spring Arcade Building in downtown Los Angeles. Licensed originally to Inglewood, 1150 signed on in 1927 as KMIC. (Please feel free to correct me.) To the best of my knowledge, here is the rundown: In the case of 1150, the last time the station was over a 1 share (and in fact was about 2.5 as I recall) was during the era of adult standards via Chuck Southcott and “The Music of Your Life” in the early 1980s.īut the list of call letters is interesting, and a little confusing. That’s right, the “savior” of AM radio, talk radio, really isn’t in most cases. ![]() But I digress.ĭavid Schwartz of cable television’s Game Show Network wrote to ask how many call-letter combinations 1150 has had over the years, and when was the last time the station broke a 1 share in the ratings? The second question is easy like most extremely low-rated AM stations, the last time it earned decent ratings was when it played music. ![]() ![]() On the other hand, I am an old-school radio fan who personally prefers call-letters and thinks “The Patriot” sounds lame. EIB, as in “Excellence in Broadcasting,” the longtime slogan of Limbaugh’s show.Ĭonsidering the official on-air name of the new conservative station at 1150 will be “The Patriot,” the “EIB” portion will be secondary. In an apparent nod to Rush Limbaugh - or perhaps an olive branch offered to the host in exchange for moving his show from its longtime flamethrower signal at KFI (640 AM) to the much lower-powered KTLK (1150 AM) - Clear Channel is changing the call letters of KTLK to KEIB. ![]()
