         KWKW ESPN Deportes (1330 AM) is in its 13th year as
       the Spanish-language play-by-play home of the Los Angeles
       Angels .
         In 1941, at the beginning of World War II, the Federal
       Communications Commission awarded KWKW its license to
       broadcast and inform the Hispanic population of Los Angeles
       the news about the war. This took place from the basement
       of a hotel on Colorado Street in Pasadena. At a later date
       KWKW moved to 800 Sierra Madre Villa in Pasadena, where
       many of today’s famous announcers began their careers in
       Spanish radio .
         In 1962 Lotus Communications Corporation bought KWKW. Since that time Howard Kalmenson, owner
       and founder of Lotus Communications, has been able to acquire 24 radio stations which broadcast in
       English and Spanish as well as Lotus Hispanic Reps, a National Rep firm with offices across the country.
       All this was possible because of KWKW.
         In January 1989, when KWKW switched from 1300 to 1330 on the AM dial, the broadcast coverage
       area more than doubled. KWKW is one of the leading Spanish language radio stations in the United
       States. An excellent signal, popular personalities, outstanding news, sports and in-depth public service
       and community involvement guarantee KWKW’s long-term success in the dominant Mexican and Latino
       communities of Los Angeles.
