94.7 The WAVE

📖 About

94.7 The WAVE (KTWV-FM) is a premier commercial rhythmic adult contemporary and urban adult contemporary radio station licensed to Los Angeles, California, and serving the entire Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. The frequency has a legendary broadcast history in Southern California, originally signing on the air in September 1948 and spending decades operating under various formats and call letters—most notably as the iconic free-form rock powerhouse KMET ('The Mighty Met') during the 1970s and 1980s. In 1987, the station adopted the KTWV call sign and famously pioneered the smooth jazz radio format under 'The Wave' branding, becoming a relaxing cultural touchstone for millions of listeners across Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Inland Empire. In 2010, following shifts in radio listening trends and formats, KTWV transitioned its signature sound away from instrumental smooth jazz toward a vibrant Rhythmic Adult Contemporary and Urban Adult Contemporary format. Today, the station's programming features a smooth, soulful mix of classic R&B, contemporary soul hits, and upbeat throwback anthems that resonate deeply with Southern California's diverse multicultural community. Listeners tune in around the clock for engaging on-air personalities, lifestyle content, community highlights, and seamless musical blocks designed to capture the relaxed, sun-drenched vibe of the region. Owned and operated by Audacy, Inc., KTWV broadcasts from high-powered studio and transmitter facilities, utilizing a strong signal atop Mount Wilson to cover Southern California. In addition to its primary analog and digital HD1 broadcast, the station utilizes HD subchannels to support niche programming, while offering worldwide access via the Audacy digital platform, mobile applications, and streaming directories. Through its evolution from a rock pioneer to a smooth jazz innovator and finally to the soul of Southern California, 94.7 The WAVE remains an enduring pillar of West Coast radio.
