Stations on the move

| 6 Comments

The L.A. Business Journal reports (subscribers only) that five of Infinity's seven local radio stations will be moving to the former E! Entertainment (originally California Federal) tower on the Miracle Mile. The stations' former home, the historic Columbia Square that was home to CBS in Hollywood for many years, was sold last year. TV stations Channel 2 and 9 will probably move from the square as well, though no time or eventual locale has been decided, the LABJ says. The radio stations coming to Wilshire Boulevard are AM news outlets KNX and KFWB, FM talker KLXS and music stations KRTH and KWTV.

Over at LARadio.com, some radio vets have been talking about the move since last week and think it will be a hindrance for KNX and KFWB reporters trying to cover breaking news. On the Miracle Mile they will be a ways from any freeway.
