## Tuning into History: A Look at KFI AM 640
KFI AM 640 isn't just another radio station; it's a piece of Los Angeles history. Broadcasting from Burbank, California, this iHeartMedia-owned station boasts a legacy that stretches back nearly a century to 1922. Its early adoption of high-powered broadcasting made it a pioneer in the radio landscape, becoming one of the nation's first clear-channel Class A stations and the first west of Chicago to broadcast at a powerful 50,000 watts.
This pioneering spirit cemented KFI's place as a broadcasting powerhouse, reaching a wide swathe of Southern California and beyond. Imagine the impact: in a time before widespread television and internet, KFI's signal brought news, entertainment, and connection to countless homes. This early reach contributed significantly to the development of the radio industry and cemented KFI's place as a trusted source of information and entertainment.
