The M Street Journal Radio's Journal of Record 304 Park Ave. S., 7th Floor, New York, NY 10010 PHONE (212) 473 -4668 FAX (212) 473 -4626 KAHL GETS THE MESSAGE: Somebody had to go standards in the Bay Area after KFRC's surprise decision to abandon the format. Given KFRC's overhead, it wasn't surprising that the station that finally decided to make a move went with Unistar's AM Only. The surprise was that the new standards outlet wasn't KKHI --whose owner, Buckley, does AM Only in Syracuse and Hartford --but simulcast AC outlet KABL which won't pick up the "Magic" name or any of the airstaff from the former KFRC. Standards represents a full -circle of sorts for KABL which began life in the late '50s as a "good music" outlet under Gordon McLendon before that format mutated into beautiful music. This week's other news begins on page 5. Full format details follow.
