KFWB (980 AM) is a commercial radio station in Los Angeles, California. KFWB is owned by Lotus Communications, and airs a classic regional Mexican music radio format. The station has a colorful history, being the radio voice of Warner Bros. Studios in the early days of broadcasting, and a long-time Group W (later CBS Radio) station from 1966 to 2016. It has kept the same call sign throughout its nearly 100-year history.

KFWB broadcasts with 5,000 watts of power from a non-directional antenna shared with KLAC on North Indiana Avenue near Lincoln Park in Eastside Los Angeles.[3] The station's studios and offices are on Barham Boulevard, near the Universal City complex.[4]
