The rumor has been spreading and, unfortunately, it’s true: Classic KABL 960 will cease operations this week.
The station has been a labor of love for more than a dozen years. After the demise of the original KABL (which played “beautiful music”) and later iterations (that played big bands, adult standards and middle-of-the-road “easy listening” tunes) we put together this little online station, thinking it might be a hit with Bay Area listeners that remembered KABL from any point in its long history.
Instead, listeners around the world flocked to our digital signal by the thousands, every hour of the day, seven days a week.
We were lucky to enlist Bay Area Radio Hall of Famer Bill Moen (BARHOF 2006), the original signature voice of KABL back when it debuted in 1959. Bill provided us with vocal vignettes describing the sights and sounds of San Francisco and some of its legendary characters, past and present.
We also brought back “Sunday Sounds,” a popular program for more than a decade on San Francisco’s famed KSFO. On Classic KABL 960, Trish Bell guided the program like clockwork each and every Sunday morning at 9 for more than twelve years – even when battling cancer.
On Saturday and Sunday evenings, our audience numbers exploded with the addition of “Sounds of Sinatra,” hosted by Sid Mark – a program that drew fans of Francis Albert from every corner of the planet.
Heck, even Clear Channel, the huge media conglomerate that bought KABL and eventually killed it off, licensed the call letters and imaging (the jingles and other programming elements) to us!
Have a comment? Please leave your thoughts about Classic KABL 960 below.
Our Classic KABL 960 was an amalgam of all versions of the station, with a little bit of something for everyone – if you lived in the Bay Area, you could probably pick out bits that reminded you of not only KABL and KSFO, but Magic 61, KNBR, KMPX “Big Band 99” and maybe a few others.
So why are we shutting down? Essentially, it’s because it has been a labor of love – generally, besides Bill and Trish (and Sid) there has been only one person maintaining the station, putting together the music library, compiling the playlists, keeping the creaky old server running (it’s actual older than the station itself!) and paying the bills. It’s been a labor of love, but it’s also labor intensive, requiring constant monitoring and plenty of tender loving care, in addition to some real work.
Despite the vast worldwide listenership and the positive response to Classic KABL 960 – which bordered on downright loving devotion – the commitment of both time and resources reached a limit.
So thank you, Classic KABL 960 listeners, wherever you are around the world. This little project wouldn’t have lasted a month if it wasn’t for the sheer amount of listeners, far and wide, that tuned us in all hours of the day. And a very special thanks to Bill and Trish, who lent their considerable talents to Classic KABL 960, and made it a station worth listening to.

Have you thought about fundraising (like via Patreon) to help you keep going and to even employ staff? I would be happy to pay a monthly subscription for this wonderful station.
Tony Onorad
I agree with Huw re: fundraising and/or a monthly paid subscription. I’d do that to keep KABL going and I’d even volunteer my time and efforts.

Any way to run a fundathon, or offer monthly subscriptions? It’s worth it to me, and to my sanity, to have KABL on the air 24/7! Put me down for a monthly subscription and ANY AND ALL HELP I CAN GIVE to keep the station “on the air”! I I still lived in the Bay Area I would GLADLY devote time and energy to helping run the place! PLEASE try to remain on the air!

I’ve been an avid KABL.com listener for years. It’s hard to think that you won’t be around anymore. But I understand your reasons for signing off. Just a few months ago I ended my own radio career, one that spanned over 30 years as an announcer, copywriter and producer. Somehow it seems fitting that KABL and I are calling it quits at the same time. When you’ve done radio as well as you can, day in and day out, for years, you can leave the air with no regrets. Take care Trish and Bill. And thanks. I’ll miss you.

I am so sad to hear that today is your last day broadcasting. I have been listening to the station for decades. I would listen with my mom in the ‘70’s and loved listening to Jim Lange. You will be truly missed.

I am very saddened to read this. I’ve been listening since a kid in the 50’s. The cable car bell, Carter B Smith and so many others. This is another sad day for many many of us.
Jeff Owen
I am truly sad to find out about KABL’s demise. It has been a real joy being a faithful listener for 10 years. There will never again be anything like the heartwarming sound of KABL!

Hello from Romania! I first listened to KABL when I lived in San Francisco in 2018 and have tuned in regularly ever since. KABL brings back some great memories of my time in the City by the Bay and I learned so much about the city from listening. It will be very sad to see you go.

Classic KABL 960 has been my beloved constant companion. Thank you for for the many years of making a beautiful music oasis.
You will be missed! When will the last song be played?
Jess Smith
I was very sad to hear Trish say that KABL was coming to an end (even more so when I had time to grab my phone and read that it was true!).
My family and I have been listening for at least 10 years – at home and in the car – what a treat to listen on my way to and from work! “Sunday Sounds” plays “religiously” during our after-church Sunday dinners. Thanks to Bill´s interesting vignettes, I have learned a lot I didn´t know about San Francisco. We will miss you both very much. However, I must offer my greatest thanks and highest praise to the “only one person” mentioned above who put it all together – the jingles, the music – and made it such a wonderful and memorable experience.
In the words of Jim Reeves, “may the Good Lord bless and keep you (all) till we meet again!

Inge and Andreas Klose (mother and son)
To all who made KABL radio over the years possible:
To say that we are extremely sorry that KABL will cease operations would be a gross understatement!
It’s not just because that we (as former West Berliners) are especially grateful to ‘the American people’. After the war years my twelve year old mother listened enthusiastically to AFN radio… and now she’s 85 and we are listening almost every day to KABL.
It seems to those who do not belong to the so-called digital natives the world is ever faster becoming a quite desolate wasteland, a frustrating cultural Sahara…
All the best to all of you!
Two listeners from Berlin, Germany wishing every reader a good life!

Hey everyone! Let’s see if there is ANY way to keep KABL on the air! How many of you would be interested in donating time or money, or subscribing to KABL to keep it going? I’m retired and have a LOT of time to chip in, and I would HAPPILY pay to fund ongoing operations. I love this station, and the memories the music and the ‘jingles’ bring to me. It’s been my “lifeboat” the past few years, and especially THIS crazy year! It may be a lost cause; I know Bill wants to FINALLY retire (deservedly so) but keeping an online radio station running CAN be done by a few people, and with commitments to donating or subscribing. Anyone else out there not quite ready yo throw in the towel? Let’s see if there’s a chance! Bill! I’m serious! Can it be done?
Ken
I’m IN! This cannot be allowed to to be another low point of 2020. I also think making a CD of all of Bill’s SF moments and commercials would be a great resource for charity or fundraising for the future station!

I stumbled across KABL when I was looking for a radio station I could listen to while writing my final examination paper 7 years ago. I listened to KABL while studying for my final exams. I listened to KABL while painting the walls of me and my boyfriends first flat. I listened to KABL while getting ready for my marriage. I listened to KABL while carrying my first child and my second. I listen and still listen to KABL while playing with them, feeding one and nursing the other. I listened and still listen to KABL while cleaning, showering, doing paper work.
I can’t belive it’s going off the air.
I totally agree, I’d gladly PAY so I could “stay tuned”!!!
So much love and gratitude from Germany, and all the best for you in the future!

KABL is my favorite online station by far. I would gladly pay a monthly fee to keep it going. It is indeed very sad news that KABL is going away, but it was a great run. Thanks to all those who made it possible. Perhaps someone else can take over and put it back on the air everywhere, even if it is on the web!!!

I just discovered your station TODAY! You made me happy…and then very sad. Hoping that you can find a way to return this great music to the “airways”.

I am so saddened to hear KABL -most loved station is going off the air. There is truly no other station like KABL that delivers beautiful music from 20’s-70’s. My grandma loved your station for decades but she has passed away in her 80’s. We’ve enjoyed listening to KABL together through the years. I wish there is a way to keep it going. I’d be happy to subscribe , pay monthly fee and volunteer time help keep it going. Thank you so very much for all the wonderful music, and great charismatic hosts Bill Moen and Trish Bell and Mark Sid. You’ve been such a joy to listen to and will surely be missed.

You don’t owe anyone anything, including an explanation. But still…
Please don’t let it die. You’ve done such an incredible job with KABL, it’s a labor of love and it shows. The emotional response this is getting is a testament to your success, and we’re so grateful for your dedication. Won’t you consider letting your legacy–and the legacy of one of the great radio stations–live on? The world needs this special slice of history, perhaps now more than ever. Please.

I’ve been listening to KABL since I was in my early 20s – I’m 50 now and it’s still a part of my life. I cried like a baby when I received the news of you shutting down. Thank you for the perfect online replica of the original station. It was so great to have it back again while it lasted.

I’m going to miss KABL. So many great stations have gone. In the New York area WNEW and then WQEW. The great music is disappearing from the air and all that is left is noise. I am lucky to have a local commercial station, Legends Radio, WLML with similar music. You can catch it on the internet at https://legendsradio.com/. There is another very fine internet station out of London, Serenade Radio, https://www.serenade-radio.com/
If anyone has suggestions for a replacement station please post.

Discovered this station way back in 1997 while driving my early 1970’s Chrysler to college, back when it was actually on the AM dial. It opened up a world of new music to the ears of a teenager, got me through some rough times, and I’ll forever be grateful for that. Cheers to those who kept it running into the digital world long after it disappeared from the airwaves.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET ADDICTED TO SOMETHING,, and suddenly it gets taken away? Well,, that is just what happened when I couldn’t get KABL anymore! What a great station, with great music, and great announcers! I hope that somehow, somewhere, someday soon,,, someone will get these people back on the air,, EVERYWHERE AGAIN!

TONY, GREATEST NEWS ALL DAY!!!! A VERY MISSED KABL BACK ON THE AIR!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND EFFORT GETTING THIS TOGETHER. WE WISH YOU THE VERY BEST FROM PHILADELPHIA, PA.
Mel Figoni
As a native San Franciscan I started listening to KABL in 1959 when it went on the air. Finished high school and college with KABL as my background music. My wife and I met Bill Moen back in the 1980s when he agreed to be the Master of Ceremonies for our Italian Catholic Federation Fashion show in Santa Rosa. We had lunch with him in Novato back then and he and his wife were dinner guests in our home a couple of weeks after the fashion show. That was on a Saturday night. Monday morning he told his audience he had the best veal ever at the Figoni’s. The station was then inundated asking for the address of the Figoni’s Restaurant. He kept telling them it was a private home. We’ll miss you Bill and all the great music you’ve given over the years,

Thank you so much. I grew up in the Bay Area and by folks were KABL listeners, so this brought back happy childhood memories, plus as I’ve gotten older I’ve gained a true appreciation for the music itself. As sad as I am to hear that KABL is gone once again, thank you for all the hard work and giving us a second chance to fully appreciate what I’m guessing many of us kind of took for granted the first time around. All the best.

I’m really sad to see KABL go. I’ve been listening to this station since 2001 when it was still in the air at 960 AM, after that, they moved online. I loved Jukebox Saturday Night, Sounds of Sinatra, and Sunday Sounds with Trish Bell. Listening to KABL reminds me of all the good times that I had in the past and the music was very comforting. I agree with the other suggestions to keep this station running, I would gladly make a monthly contribution to help support them.

I was ecstatic when i discovered KABL a few years ago. I was raised on this music as my father was a professional big band player. He played with many of the big starts when they visited Australia. The memories the station brought me were beyond belief. I too would willingly pay a monthly subscription if the station were to continue. The closure is just another disaster for 2020.
