KFI has had a magnificent past. This photo set includes shots of Earl C Anthony, some early studio photos, and the ancient water-cooled 50 KW transmitter. And yes, there WAS a KFI - TV. |
| KGFJ 1230 | KGFJ (More recently KYPA) - Here are some photos of the Wire "Flat Top" antenna that was taken out of service in May, 2004 after 80 years of service, and photos from a new site location, diplexed at the site of KBLA 1580. But, it seems that old flat top antenna refuses to die. The signal from the new diplexed site at KBLA did not work as well as the flat top. So, after a short time the KYPA transmission moved back to the original flat top antenna, where it remains today. (Dec 2004) |
