Newstalgia Pop Chronicles - When AM Started To Fade - the last hour of KFWB in Los Angeles as a top-40 radio station - March 11, 1968

KFWB - A symbol of youth culture in the 1950s and 1960s - but . . . .

Los Angeles, KFWB, was sold and the new owner was eager to dump the music format in exchange for all news (a new concept at the time). So on March 11th, KFWB played their last batch of 45's and bid a teary-eyed farewell to one part of music history before the next one popped up weeks later; FM Underground.

Here are the last 40 minutes of that broadcast as it happened on the evening of March 11, 1968.

Always evolving. Strangely, KFWB just dropped their all-News format in favor of another format; talk-radio.
