What radio station(AM/FM) would you recommend for the best/frequent traffic updates and news in bay area? I'm more into local news and would prefer less of music programs.
thx

KILV 1590 AM. South Bay news only. No weekend news though, cuz they are poor.

Can't say that I've listened to KILV so I don't know how they would compare with KCBS, but, I like KCBS for traffic and the weather on the 8s.

KCBS is of a broader scope. KLIV is just the south bay.

I only listen to KCBS. They have a hypnotizing patter of news which is also reliable enough to set your watch to, and excellent traffic coverage. They've saved my butt numerous times.

KCBS 740 am - no contest - that other one doesn't even come in well throughout the south bay.

The only drawback to KCBS is while they do have 'traffic and weather together every ten minutes' , they seem to have a bunch of ads ever five minutes. if you don;t mind waiting a while for your local news, traffic, radio, then i suggest NPR - 88.5 fm in the South Bay.

I flip back & forth between KLIV and am KCBS. KLIV is better for South Bay traffic and weather and local stories.
