Los Angeles’ KFI AM 640 radio announced on April 26, it will be the flagship radio home of the Los Angeles Chargers. The 50,000-watt powerhouse station can be heard throughout San Diego County. The afternoon announcement came at 5:00 p.m. on the top-rated afternoon drive time John and Ken talk show The station, which carries mostly political talk, has not had a strong sports format in the past. But radio industry watchers probably knew something was up between KFI and the Chargers. On the day of announcing the Chargers will be moving to L.A., owner Dean Spanos and quarterback Phillip Rivers made themselves readily available to the KFI talk host throughout the day.
