Could someone own this many stations[edit]

"The Don Lee stations eventually numbered 21."

As I understood it, you could only own seven AM and seven FM stations in different markets until 1992, when it was raised to two AM's two FM's in the same city, but still only seven different markets till that rule was relaxed in 1996. - signed by an anon IP

In the peak of Don Lee's career of owning radio and TV stations, he was the leader of West Coast radio and television broadcasting in the 1940's and '50's. Don Lee also owned KCBS-TV (was KTSL and KNXT), KABC-TV (was KJLA and KECA) and also KCAL-TV (was KFI and KHJ) in these TV stations' early days. Don Lee's media connections with CBS (Columbia Pictures), RKO (both radio and movie companies), Disney Inc. (Walt Disney) and Western Electric (the predecessor to Southern California Edison power) is the reason why Los Angeles and much of California has its' beloved radio stations and TV channels to this day. + 71.102.32.144 (talk) 08:56, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True or false??[edit]

True or false: it is a good rule that former radio/television stations should never have Wikipedia articles separate from the same current radio/television station that replaced them. 66.245.0.62 17:46, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

There should not be a page for each and every different callsign a radio/TV station has had over its lifetime. Pages should probably appear under the name they are at present (though in some cases, stations get divided up or just die off). KHJ does exist today, if you were wondering about that..

Article title wrong[edit]

The title of this article is wrong. There is not, and never has been, any such thing as "-AM" in US broadcast callsign regulation. The correct callsign of the station, and therefore the correct title for this article, is KHJ.

I moved it to KHJ (AM), which seems to be Wikipedia convention when this happens. Somewhat suboptimal, but it might be the best thing if KHJ is going to end up as a disambiguation page. —User:Mulad (talk) 05:32, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

KRTH AM 930[edit]

" They continued to simulcast KRTH-FM's Oldies format until 1989"?

Wasn't KRTH AM 930 still smoking with Smokin' Oldies until 1989"?

John Lennon as guest DJ in 1974[edit]

In the film documentary 'LennonNYC', John Lennon is shown traveling to L.A. in late 1973, and guest announcing on a KHJ radio show where Lennon is heard to say, "if you have a request, call 520-1974." Given Lennon's stature, doesn't this deserve mention? Theaternearyou (talk) 05:12, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Power increase in 1935 rather than later?[edit]

I'm curious about your reference for the increase to 5,000 watts in 1941. A 1935 issue of Broadcasting magazine shows KHJ among a group of stations that were authorized to go to 5,000 watts Dec. 18, 1934. See "Four Stations Get 5 kw." on page 18 of the January 1, 1935, issue. (http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1935/1935-01-01-BC.pdf)

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on KHJ (AM). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
