KFMB 760 AM is a talk radio station in San Diego, California, co-owned with KFMB-FM and KFMB-TV.
KFMB-AM first greeted listeners on April 13, 1941, broadcasting from the corner of Pacific Highway and Ash Street, downtown. Owned by Warren B. Worchester and the Worchester Broadcasting Corporation, the "M" in KFMB was for Worchester's daughter Mary; the "B" for his son Warren Burnham.
Midwest Television Inc, headquartered in Champaign, Illinois, purchased KFMB-AM, FM, and TV in 1964.
From 1978 to 1999 it was the broadcast home for the San Diego Padres baseball franchise. From 1998 to 2004 it was the broadcast home of the San Diego Chargers National Football League team. It has also been the San Diego affiliate of the CBS radio network.
The station is the San Diego home of Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Bill O'Reilly, Jerry Doyle and others.
Local programming includes Rick Roberts from 5 to 10 a.m. weekday mornings.
In June 2005, KFMB became the San Diego broadcast home for Paul Harvey.
