Zelasko is an insult to any intelligent listener. The mindless drivel that you will hear from her is more tabloid fluff than actual sports talk.

And Jim Rome is pure schtick with that fake voice. Sadly, Roggin has slipped. I now find myself hardly listening anymore.

What channel was Roggin the sports anchor on tv back in the '80's? My memories of him are from back then so I have a sentimental place for him because I associate him with visiting my grandparents who lived close to LA.

KNBC? (with Stu Nahan?)

What channel though? I don't remember what KNBC was on the dial. KTLA was 5. KTTV was 11. KCOP was 13. Mind you, I was only watching the news because we only had 1 tv and I was allowed to pick whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted...except at 5 o'clock. That hour was for the news, come hell or high water.

Notice, all the stations I remember are the one's that had cartoons or movies or something a little more fun.

It was channel 4. Found this article, since you brought up Nahan who I'd forgotten about, and put 2 and 2 together. Pretty crappy send-off for Nahan.

KNBC is on channel 4

WTF, I never knew that story about Nahan. I guess I was off at uni, in another part of the country, when that went down. I grew up watching Stu and Jim Hill (former player at Channel 2 KCBS), and really enjoyed both. Stu didn't deserve that.

That's what intrigues me. Will the Rams in LA have a Hollywood connection like they did in the past? I remember Hill and overall, it seems there were a lot of good sportscasters back then in the area.

Radio home of Clippers, KFWB ‘The Beast 980’, is sold; NBA team may need new station

By Tom Hoffarth, Los Angeles Daily News

KFWB-AM (980), the Los Angeles radio home of the Clippers, will end operations as an all-sports station in mid-February after the station’s asset trust sold the business to a group that runs foreign-language programming, according to several sources.

The sale will likely result in the Clippers, on KFWB since 2009, having to quickly find a new flagship for their games. Neither KLAC-AM (570), home to the Dodgers and UCLA sports, nor KSPN-AM (710), home to the Lakers and USC sports, seem like a likely landing spot.

The Kings currently have their NHL games on KABC-AM (790), while the Angels are on their team-owned KLAA-AM (830), along with the NHL’s Ducks.

KFWB has also been home to Westwood One NFL broadcasts.

The staff at “980 The Beast,” which has been operating as a sports station since September 2014, were told of the sale at a meeting Tuesday at 10 a.m., according to a source at the station.

Of the three main all-sports format stations in L.A., 980-AM has made steady improvements but has not been able to make up much ground in the ratings to ESPN-owned 710 and iHeartMedia’s 570, which the Dodgers have an ownership stake in.

The 5,000-watt station, which launched in 1925 and made its mark in all-news for decades, eventually went to all-sports to accommodate a syndication expansion of Jim Rome’s mid-morning show, which came when he joined CBS Sports in 2012.

Station on-air personalities include Fred Roggin, Jeanne Zelasko, Bill Plaschke, Chris Myers, Wes Clements and Sam Farber. The station was also the radio home for MLS Galaxy broadcasts.

Since November 2011, CBS Radio put KFWB into a trust managed by Diane Sutter, President and CEO of ShootingStar Broadcasting. The business move was needed since CBS Corporation owned and operated two TV stations and two radio stations in the L.A. market.

There were no other specifics given about the group buying station, only that the sale was to be facilitated by a private equity firm.
