Mount Wilson Broadcasting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Wilson FM Broadcasters, Inc. is a Los Angeles-based company owned by Saul Levine. Levine is the only independent operator of an FM commercial radio station in Los Angeles today.[1]
They own the following radio stations:
- KKGO FM 105.1: Country music
- KGIL AM 1260: News/Talk
- XESURF AM 540: News/Talk (a simulcast of KGIL's news/talk format) (license and transmitter owned by a Mexican company)
An affiliate organization, Global Jazz, Inc., is the programmer of the California State University, Long Beach Foundation-owned jazz and blues public radio station KKJZ 88.1 FM.
Mount Wilson FM Broadcasters, Inc. has done several format changes on its radio stations, most notably AM 1260 and AM 540.
In 2004, Levine filed a complaint with the FCC to force the government to impose indecency standards on satellite radio, a move Levine alleged would "level the playing field" between terrestrial and satellite radio. Ultimately, this failed.[2]
