Many years ago, I lived in Sepulveda North Hills, and enjoyed listening to the News/Talk station we lived under, KGIL AM 1260. Shortly after we moved in, Saul Levine (of the ever changing radio formats) bought the station from Buckley Broadcasting, and started toying with the format. Some I liked (all showtunes), some were weird (all Beatles), and none were successful. Still, I always missed News/Talk Radio, and hosts such as Carole Hemingway and the folks that did the morning show. LA hasn’t had decent talk since Michael Jackson (not that Michael Jackson) left the airways.
Guess what?
KGIL AM 1260 is coming back! As News/Talk radio. Saul Levine is bringing back News/Talk after AM proved to be unsuccessful for classical. The call sign KGIL will be restored. Further, Michael Jackson will be a lead anchor. Other hosts include CNN star Larry King, nationally syndicated libertarian host Neal Boortz and radio psychologist Joy Browne.
I’m actually looking forward to this.
