Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Known as the original country music station in the greater Los Angeles area, KFOX AM and FM were broadcast from the International Tower located at 220 E. Anaheim in Long Beach. KFOX-AM, also known as The Country King, was on 1280; KFOX-FM was on 100.3. Both stations were owned by the Sonderling Broadcasting Company, owned by Egmont Sonderling who bought the station in the 1960s. The station existed until the early 1970s, at which time Los Angeles-based KLAC became the top country music station for the region.
Working together to help promote the charitable cause, staff of the Long Beach country music station KFOX pose for a photograph with members of the Marine Corps Reserve during a Christmas-time Toys for Tots drive.
