I was hoping AM 570 KLAC was going to pick them up. I realized though that KLAC is making a play for the Dodgers to sustain the radio station.

It's been awhile since I had to use KFWB (traffic report), but it was a pretty clear station. I'm glad that it's settled, I won't be catching games on the radio often, but it can come in handy every now and then.

I was waiting to hear when we would get a new radio station. I also thought it might be AM 570 but I'm glad we're finally found a new radio home.

Good for us but that station is too staticky
