KBWB in San Francisco, a pure indie ever since the UPN/WB merger in
2006 (when The CW landed on CBS' KBHK), has reverted to its previous
call letters of KOFY and is going to brand its lineup of syndicated
programming in a mega-local presentation, including stealing fellow
pure indie WCIU Chicago's gimmick of having dogs appear in station IDs
("Sparky of Wheaton loves 'Tyler Perry's House of Payne,' weeknights
at 7 on channel 26, The U!"--and "House of Scab Writ"--uh, "House of
Payne" is on KOFY, as well):http://www.tvnewsday.com/articles/2008/10/13/daily.10/ Granite owns the station--the KOFY calls were created by former owner James Grabbert, an idiosyncratic Bay Area broadcaster who put contemporary pop music on SF FM radio in the ealy 70s with his KIOI, or he preferred to call it, K101 (it also was the first station to make its legal IDs hard to hear, something done a lot today with all of those "Zs" and Qs" and "Fox"es and "Jack"s that don't use their call letters as their main identity). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
