The Talk of The Town
In the 1970s, with less network programming available, KFBK began programming talk shows as part of their broadcast day, promoting themselves as "The Talk of the Town." After a brief trial as an adult contemporary music station, ownership committed themselves to a format that included news blocks during morning and afternoon drive time, with the remainder of the day's programming featuring local talk shows. With the FCC implementing a newspaper-broadcasting cross-ownership rule, McClatchy would be forced to divest itself of its radio and television stations. KFBK would be sold to Group W - Westinghouse and later would shift network affiliation to ABC Radio.

Famous quotes containing the words talk and/or town:
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD alone; You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 6:4-9.
“Every town has an Elm Street.”
—Michael Deluca, U.S. screenwriter, and Rachel Talalay. Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund)
