The year 1971 in radio involved some significant events. ==Events== *2 January: A ban on radio and television cigarette advertisements goes into effect in the United States. *14 February: All of ABC Radio's FM stations change call letters, all on the same day: * *WABC-FM in New York becomes WPLJ, for White Port & Lemon Juice. * *KABC-FM in Los Angeles becomes KLOS, for Los Angeles. * *KGO-FM in San Francisco becomes KSFX, for San Francisco (now KKSF). * *KQV-FM in Pittsburgh becomes WDVE, for a D o V E, the symbol of peace. * *WXYZ-FM in Detroit becomes WRIF, for a guitar "R I F F" (legend goes that the calls were meant for WLS-FM to symbolize the cities' jazz scene). * *WLS-FM in Chicago becomes WDAI (supposedly meant for WXYZ-FM to celebrate the Detroit Auto Industry; it had no meaning in Chicago). * *KXYZ-FM in Houston becomes KAUM (today KHMX), meaning unknown. *20 February: The U.S. Emergency Broadcast System sends an erroneous warning; many radio stations just ignore it, while WOWO in Fort Wayne takes it seriously and interrupts programming for 20 minutes. *December: WNBC in New York lures Don Imus and his ''Imus in the Morning'' program away from WGAR (AM) in Cleveland (now WHKW); WGAR replaces him with fellow shock jock John Lanigan. ;Undated *WLOL-FM and KSJN, both in Minneapolis, Minnesota, participate in "quadcast" (quadraphonic) experiments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1971 in radio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
