Radio Warner Bros. 🇺🇸

Radio Warner Bros., also known as WB Radio, was an innovative radio station owned by Warner Bros. Records in Los Angeles. Operating on 93.1 FM, the station distinguished itself with an experimental, free-form format, departing from the playlist-driven radio of the era. The programming was heavily influenced by Warner Bros. Records artists, who had significant creative control over the music selection. The station's short run, from October 1974 to March 1975, featured personalities such as Gary Owens, Bones Howe, Van Dyke Parks, and Kim Fowley, alongside Warner Bros. Records staff. Despite its brief existence, Radio Warner Bros. left a lasting impact on the radio landscape. The station's eclectic playlists, blending rock, jazz, soul, and comedy, were a deliberate effort to expose listeners to a wide range of music. Radio Warner Bros. was an early adopter of the Album-Oriented Rock (AOR) format, playing longer tracks and deeper cuts not found on mainstream radio. The station's closure was due to financial losses, internal conflicts, and a lack of focus, but its legacy as a pioneer of free-form radio endures.
