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.
