1010 Wins – Read Faq
Thomas asks…
who's the guy who says the 1010 wins tagline at the beginning of a newscast?
You know, the guy who says, "You'll give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world". He's been doing that for a long time.

-- These links might help . After only six months at its new radio home, KFWB-AM (980), "The Dr. Laura Program" has recaptured its target audience of young and middle-aged women. But the future is still hazy, as federal regulations are forcing the station's parent company to put it up for sale.
Instead, the station that for four decades broadcast the latest headlines -- boasting "give us 22 minutes and we'll give you the world" -- and before that, as Channel 98 Color Radio, was one of the most popular Top 40 stations in Los Angeles, could end up as a niche outlet for a religious or foreign-language broadcaster.

By Steven Rosenberg on August 11, 2009 2:00 PM |I barely make my opinion known on KFWB-AM 980's entertainment-news format when the station announces it's going in a different direction: news/talk, picking up well-known personalities such as advice-giver Dr. Laura Schlesinger, right-winger Laura Ingraham and others along with an undetermined amount of news:
L.A. Observed: KFWB going all-talk, dropping news
Orange County Register: KFWB will switch to news-talk format, add Dr. Laura
Radio Online: News KFWB-AM/Los Angeles Readies News/Talk Flip
My take on the situation, before this announcement of the Sept. 8 format change, was that KFWB could make a go of the entertainment-news format given more time but would be better off incorporating an increased emphasis on entertainment into a larger commitment to local, business and national/world news ... Kind of like the old "you give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world" KFWB.
I also noted that CBS owns both KFWB and KNX-AM (1070), the L.A. Market's other news station, and appears content to keep the news audience listening to KNX with less competition from KFWB.
I still believe that the way to go with KFWB is more local, with KNX skewing more national and worldwide in its news coverage.
And I also believe that news is perhaps the most important format there is on radio, and it would be a local tragedy to lose KFWB as a news outlet in the Los Angeles area.
Http://www.insidesocal.com/feelthenuys/archives/commercial-radi/kfwb-am-980/ The gap between old and new media grows larger every 22 seconds. That is, according to Jerry Del Colliano, Director of Thornton Executive Programs in Music Industry and Clinical Professor of Music Industry at USC, and long-time contributer and owner of bash blog, Inside Music Media. This swift predicament is made by Colliano’s sly poking of KXWB News 980’s all-time slogan- “You’ll give us 22 minutes, we’ll give you the world.” He contrasts this by saying that you need only give the next generation 22 seconds, and you’ll get the world and then some.

Michael asks…
Just watched on 1010 wins video of crowd throwing snowballs at cop, who draws gun?
right or wrong? The cop was right, could have been a rock in next snow ball, or bleach to blind him chemical precautionary chemical attack. The crowd you don't bring a gun to snow ball fight pig! my recommended judgment have the snowball bandits make a snow police man with no gloves on. Any objections >>>>-------?------->?
