I forgot the legendary KLIF call letters moved over to 570 AM several years ago.
Yes, because of the of the 570 nighttime coverage, it makes more sense for 570 to shift to all
news then 1190.

Speaking of KLIF 570 and 1190,
why not restore BOTH Heritage calls back to their proper Frequencies...
KLIF calls go back to 1190,
WFAA calls Return to 570.
With 570 running ABC news now, maybe they could strike a deal with Belo.
News 570 WFAA.
Of Course, WFAA KLIF and KFXR are ALL owned by different companies.

Belo would never let that happen.
However, WBAP used to split time between 820 and 570. :-)

I actually like the greater news presence on KLIF. Though, I think it needs more work. KRLD sucks, especially during the evenings when their news coverage is from a guy who has trouble presenting a simple traffic report. They might as well do away with Dave Ramsey as long as they give him the notice in time, and air a news block.
I want to see them go the KOMO 1000 and 97.7 route in Seattle.

Everybody says they hate Cumulus. Well, they did just launch an almost perfect All-News station in the ATL. Now that takes some skill. #GoMcVayAndDickey

KLIF did flip to news but with the Cumulus ABC News affiliation.

This didn't make sense at first, but now it's clear:
KLIF takes the ABC top of the hour news, to keep it from going to a competetor.
KLIF takes a couple of tenths from KRLD, maybe keeping KRLD from passing 820.
820 eliminates a conservative talk competetor, possibly picking up a couple of tenths.
Existing resources are leveraged across another outlet.
Building a strong station/brand is not a priority, nor is serving the community, but at least Cumulus still has another place to park pay-per-response and pay for play programming.

Well Cumulus needs to keep an eye on KGO's performance before spreading the "News and Information" brand to other places like KLIF. |
