3 Different KTLK-AM's?
Apparently 1150AM in Los Angeles is not the only KTLK-AM out there. KTLK-AM is also used for Clear Channel Air America stations in Santa Barbara, CA and Denver, CO. Did the FCC change their rules about assigning call letters? If this 3-way is the case, should each KTLK-AM get its own page or could all 3 of them (since they are all Clear Channel-owned Air America stations) be compounded on this page?

KTLK-FM
In Minneapolis, KJZI will soon become KTLK-FM (which, unlike the 3 AM stations, will NOT be an Air America affiliate...in fact, they're getting Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity). It may be best to rename this article as "KTLK-AM" to avoid confusion, and have "KTLK" take the Wiki user to a page that allows the user to select either the AM or FM versions.

 * AM stations are always the default when giving out call letters (i.e. "-AM" is never appended to the calls of an AM station. Calwatch 22:21, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

-FM or -TV suffixes were traditionally used where an old AM station is affiliated with an FM or TV station using the same call letters. More specifically, KTLK in the Twin Cities does not refer to itself as KTLK-FM, but is also known simply as KTLK, and is its own station. I agree that it is ambiguous (and probably a little old-fashioned) to favor one AM station by default and not discuss other AM stations (if they exist-an FCC search suggests they don't) or an FM station known to exist using the same call letters. See: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/statid.html

Revised section
The term is this:

Prior to the KTLK calls, AM 1150 was KXTA, or XTRA Sports 1150, which broadcast sports talk, which flipped to Fox Sports 1150 for a time before flipping back to XTRA Sports on both 1150 AM and 690 AM. Prior to that, 1150 AM broadcast contemporary hit music as KIIS, and in the mid 80s, it was transmitting its programming in AM stereo, complete with an AM version of the "Hot Hits" jingle package which had been produced for its sister FM station, which carried a virtual simulcast of its programming, although with different DJs. The call letters would later resurface in Santa Clarita in 1998, with another simulcast of KIIS-FM (that station is now known as KHTS, having changed its call letters in 2003).

I arranged the article of what is. User:ChrisTaylorNYC (talk) 14:04, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Sports?
The lede says: "... the station brands itself as K-Talk AM 1150, broadcasting a progressive talk format." But from the description, seemingly it should say: "...broadcasting a progressive talk format plus local sport games."

If so, the lede does not meet wiki standards. See Manual of Style (lead section). The body should also specify how much sports, perhaps hour per week, and seasonal hints. (BTW, not being from LA, nor a sports fan, the team names mean nothing to me. ...They broadcast hockey & vollyball?) --68.127.93.12 (talk) 17:44, 27 March 2013 (UTC) Doug Bashford

"The Patriot"
"K-Talk" KTLK is changing from Liberal to Conservative:
 * Headline: "CLEAR CHANNEL MOVING RUSH LIMBAUGH IN LOS ANGELES & SAN FRANCISCO"
 * Text: "In Los Angeles, 1150 KTLK will flip to Conservative Talk as it adds Limbaugh from sister 640 KFI and Sean Hannity from Cumulus’ 790 KABC. Being rebranded as “The Patriot“, KTLK’s lineup will feature Glenn Beck in mornings from 6-9am, Limbaugh from 9am-12pm, Hannity from 12-3pm, with the rest of the lineup to be announced later. Losing their spots on the KTLK schedule are syndicated Liberal talkers Stephanie Miller and Randi Rhodes as well as local shows Diverse LA and David Cruz. Cruz will move to a weekend slot on the station."

Today, Rush Limbaugh announced three stations carrying EIB, two new plus NYC WOR. The Patriot radio station in L.A. has its own website. I see our 'external links' section has it listed. Go there to view other Conservative favorites who will be on-air. — Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 01:04, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

KTLK (AM) re-direct
I redirected KTLK (AM) to KEIB. It had been re-re-directed to KTCN which used to be KTLK (FM), but a re-direct here seemed more appropriate. Rgrds. --64.85.214.177 (talk) 11:59, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Call letters reflecting Rush Limbaugh's "Excellence in Broadcasting" tagline
I have removed all references that had stated that the "EIB" in KEIB refers to "Excellence in Broadcasting," a long-associated tagline and trademark of EFM Media Management. Unless verifiable management or similar authorized representatives of KEIB acknowledge the association, then it should not be included here as a fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelopolis (talk • contribs) 21:27, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Headline: "KTLK salutes Rush Limbaugh in new name change" (Found with a simple Google-search) "In an apparent nod to Rush Limbaugh — or perhaps an olive branch offered to the host in exchange for moving his show from its longtime flamethrower signal at KFI (640 AM) to the much lower-powered KTLK (1150 AM) — Clear Channel is changing the call letters of KTLK to KEIB. EIB, as in “Excellence in Broadcasting,” the longtime slogan of Limbaugh’s show. Considering the official on-air name of the new conservative station at 1150 will be “The Patriot,” the “EIB” portion will be secondary." -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 00:27, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

 * My own feeling is that this is not important to note in our Article. Conservatives like myself will already know; and Liberals won't care. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 00:31, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree. Frankly, the ONLY source who can confirm that the change was due to Rush Limbaugh's influence or tagline is the KEIB representatives themselves. Even if Limbaugh himself said it was due to his influence, it would only be supposition and not fact. Without that confirmed source, no mention of the tagline should be associated with the call letters.Michaelopolis (talk) 05:52, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Rush Limbaugh did say it himself, but "at this point, what difference does it make?" — Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 11:48, 26 February 2014 (UTC) {[(Hillary echo)]} — soto voce: K-EIB.
 * K-EIB is still going strong in Los Angeles. Hannity follows Limbaugh. Clark Howard, Dave Ramsey, Carlos Amezcua, and other notables make the station great, in my not-humble-opinion. -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 06:22, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Alex Jones, Doc Thompson, and Glenn Beck each have three-hour time slots covering from midnight to 9am Pacific Time. Refer to http://www.patriot.la/onair/ -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 13:49, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Dave Ramsey joins Patriot Radio
Today is the first day of Dave Ramsey (personal finance instruction/advice) call-in radio program. He takes the 3-5pm radio slot, and Carlos is on at 5pm.— Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 01:58, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Carlos Amezcua has the 5-7pm slot, preceding Clark Howard. Check it out at http://www.patriot.la/onair/ — Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 11:44, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

News about Carlos Amezcua leaving K-EIB 1150 AM
Today, Carlos announced that he and his team are leaving “for bigger and better things.” He did not mention what that might mean. [Maybe he is going on an LDS mission with his fine and lovely wife.] We'll do some Google-searching to see what we can find out. It may be too early to learn; or maybe we can just phone him. -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 07:51, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
