KFI to keep NBC
KFI Los Angeles will remain an NBC affiliate as it has been for the past 30 years, despite its arrangement to broadcast the 1960 Los Angeles Dodgers baseball games (Broadcasting, Nov. 30). Shelton Hickox Jr., director of station relations for NBC's Pacific Div., said last week that when the new NBC Radio format goes into effect Jan. 4, KFI will carry all of the network's commercial programming except for one five-minute news period in the morning and one in the afternoon, including all of the Monitor weekend service. Following the first of the year, he and Charles Hamilton, KFI's general manager, will work out the preemptions of network offerings that the baseball schedule will make necessary, Mr. Hickox said. Presumably much of the material on the network during game time can be taped for delayed broadcast.
