https://radioinsight.com/wp-content/images/2023/11/johnken-200x200.jpegAfter 35 years as a team, John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou will no longer be teamed at iHeartMedia Talk 640 KFI (https://kfiam640.iheart.com) Los Angeles.
Chiampou will retire from the station on Wednesday, December 6. Kobylt will continue on with the show. KFI claims that the duo are the longest running team in talk radio history noting that January would have been their 36th anniversary.
John & Ken have been teamed together since 1988 when they both joined 1400 WOND Atlantic City NJ from competing stations in Elmira NY. After a stint at 103.7 WMGM Atlantic City and then launching “New Jersey 101.5” WKXW Trenton NJ in 1990, the duo would join KFI as afternoon hosts in 1992. After a brief stint in syndication, the duo would jump to mornings at 790 KABC in July 1999 until their firing in May 2000. The following year they would return to their afternoon slot at KFI during which time they were briefly simulcast at KNEW San Francisco and WOR New York. Earlier this year, their show was moved (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/246829/kfi-launches-new-weekday-schedule-with-addition-of-mokelly-at-night/) to 1-4pm.
