Sherwood's Stations
KFRC, where Sherwood began his broadcasting career (as an announcer), later became a rock music FM outlet. It was discontinued in 2008 and its last location on the dial, 106.9, began broadcasting KCBS's programming. KCBS, where Sherwood continued his career, is a news and information station, still owned by CBS. KROW in Oakland was purchased by Gordon McLendon in 1959, who changed it to an "easy listening" station known as KABL; in 2004 it became a rock station known as KQKE. KSFO, where Sherwood spent much of his career, is now an all-talk station with a primarily conservative agenda. KYA, where he broadcast for a year, was renamed KOIT. KGO-TV is still owned by ABC, a Disney subsidiary, while KTVU is now a Fox affiliate.

Famous quotes containing the words sherwood and/or stations:
“Giles Lacey: I say, old boy, I’m trying to find exactly what your wife does do.
Maxim de Winter: She sketches a little.
Giles Lacey: Sketches. Oh not this modern stuff, I hope. You know, portrait of a lamp shade upside down to represent a soul in torment.”
—Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
