[edit] Question...

Regarding this edit, when was KLIF on 1190? I thought KLIF was AM570. Did it change frequencies since the 60s? Thanks. --You Know Who (Dark Mark) 20:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

570 in Dallas used to be WFAA on AM and what was KZEW had been WFAA on FM - both owned by Belo who own the Dallas Morning News and WFAA-TV on channel 8. KLIF derived its call letters from Oak Cliff ("KLIF") to which it was licensed on 1190 for Gordon McLendon. During the 1960s the station became world famous because it teamed up with PAMS jingles to create ids that were heard all over the USA and via Wonderful Radio London all over Europe (at its close in 1967 it is said that it had 12 million listeners! It was originally going to be called Radio KLIF London and it did adopt the "Big D" identification as "Big L" for London.) But when the music scene of the 1960s morphed into stereo disco of the 1970s the days of KLIF were over. McLendon eventually sold KLIF on 1190 and it became a country station. Then when the opportunity came for new owners to buy the better frequency of 570, WFAA switched call letters and became news-talk KLIF. The old 1190 went through many new owners who delved into talk, KLUV tried to revive the old McLendon style and then it became ESPN sports radio and now it is Lone Star Classic Country.
