9/11 – The West Coast Perspective
[posted by Justin Levine]
Los Angeles radio station KFI has made available MP3’s of the broadcast from 9/11 and 9/12 for those of you who wish to mine that history.
Keep in mind that for the first few hours of the event, this was the broadcast that much of the nation was listening to if they didn’t have access to a television at the time. When the World Trade Center collapsed, it managed to knock out Rush Limbaugh’s station that day. KFI (and host Bill Handel) got tapped by Clear Channel to fill in for Limbaugh’s syndicated show for all of his affiliates that morning.

Thanks for pointing that out. I see there’s another page on the site with clips from NY stations. Very gripping.
