L-A Radio: KFWB To Drop N/T For Sports

Recent rumors that the KFWB Asset Trust was getting ready to jettison it's N/T format appear to be true.

A staff meeting was held Friday and according to LARadio.com KFWB, which was placed into a trust in November 20011 by CBS Radio,  has given notice to all employees that their jobs would end at the end of August. A search is on for executive positions to launch the new format.

It's expected KFWB will flip to CBS Sports Radio sometime around Labor Day Weekend, possible as early as August 29.

CBS Sports Radio has been airing on Adults Hits KCBS 93.1 FM HD2.

Most KFWB staffers have been given five weeks notice as station prepares to launch CBS Sports Radio around September 1.
