WIBW (580 AM) is a Topeka, Kansas, area news, talk, and sports radio station that airs such local programming such as ''Kansas Live '', ''NewsDay Now with "Nan Yates @ Alex Dingman '', and ''SportsTalk with Jake Lebahn & Alex Gold''. WIBW also carries national programs such as ''The Dave Ramsey Show'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dave Ramsey Homepage - daveramsey.com )〕 ''The Roger Hedgecock Show'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Roger Hedgecock )〕 ''The Dana Show with Dana Loesch''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dana Loesch Radio )〕 and ''The Kim Komando Show''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Kim Kamando Show'' )〕 In addition, WIBW is a sports radio affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, Kansas Jayhawks and Washburn Ichabods. WIBW is currently owned by Alpha Media, which began September 1, 2015, and was previously owned by Morris Communications. Due to WIBW's location near the bottom end of the AM dial and Kansas' flat land (with near-perfect ground conductivity), the station's 5,000-watt signal easily covers most of the Kansas City metropolitan area during the day, and provides city-grade coverage to most of the eastern half of Kansas—as far west as Wichita. It provides at least grade B coverage as far north as Omaha and Lincoln and as far south as Tulsa. ==History== WIBW signed on in 1927. It was originally owned by Senator Arthur Capper along with the ''Topeka Daily Capital.'' Capper bought the license for a station in Logansport, Indiana and added a "W" to the initials of the original owner, Indiana Broadcast Works—thus making it one of the few stations west of the Mississippi River whose call letters begin with "W". The "W/K" divide for call signs was not always the Mississippi River, and Kansas was on the eastern side of the original call divide. Thus, it was perfectly acceptable to have a "W" in Kansas in any event. The station eventually spawned a television station and an FM station, both of which still carry the WIBW calls.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=KC Radio History - 580 )〕 Capper died in 1949, and his family sold his holdings to Stauffer Publications, owner of Topeka's other newspaper, the ''Topeka State Journal''; the papers have since merged. Stauffer merged with current owner Morris Communications in 1995.〔 WIBW's main studios for decades were located on Wanamaker Road in west Topeka, near the Menninger Clinic. The programming there included live country music at 6:00 a.m. as late as the 1970s. The building housing those studios was severely damaged by fire January 5, 2012.〔 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「WIBW (AM)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
