Having grown up in L.A. it is just one more of those things that doesn't stay the same. When I was a kid (born in '57), we used to listen to KFWB for Top 40 songs and then KHJ and KRLA moved in on the territory. With KHJ dominant and KRLA also strong in the market, KFWB was turned into an all-news station by Group W/Westinghouse.

Another part of L.A. history down the tubes.
	"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt
