KFWB Los Angeles Flips to Top 40 as “Color Radio” Channel 98 | 1958 (15:31) Scoped

An historical relic. KFWB was the first Top 40 station in Los Angeles. Long before KHJ decided to turn up the volume, KFWB’s Swinging Gentlemen cranked out the hits.

It lasted until 1969. Now, hear the beginning of a legend.

    False! KFWB lasted until 1968 not 1969 as posted. They flipped to all news in March of 1968.

    Eliot Field lives out here in Palm Springs. I talk to him often. He sounds great on this tape. Wow, that last show under KFFB’s old format was dreadfull !

    I remember as a teenager living in Santa Ana, we would all listen to Emperor Hudson on KFWB…along with the other DJ’s. KFWB used to be a very good station and the receiption was great, even as far away as Orange County. When Emperor Hudson was done with his shift, and leaving the studio, his classic line was “clear the freeways, you peasants!!!” He was a character and I will never forget him.
