Description
Photograph taken circa 1955 of the exterior of radio station KFBK, located at 708 I Street. KFBK was licensed to McClatchy Broadcasting in 1925 when it was powered by a one hundred watt transmitter and the Sacramento Bee became the first newspaper west of the Mississippi to operate a radio station. The downtown location of the radio station placed it directly across the street from the courthouse and within a block of the jail, city library and city hall and only minutes away from the State Capitol building, providing immediate access to local and state stories.
