KCBS-FM is a radio station in Los Angeles, California broadcasting to the Greater Los Angeles area on 93.1 MHz. KCBS-FM airs an adult hits music format branded as "Jack-FM". The station is owned by CBS Radio.
Unlike other radio stations airing the Jack FM format, KCBS-FM runs a fairly focused playlist of popular classic rock and Alternative Rock tracks. Currently, the station has no air staff except for Tami Heide with her "Jacktivities" (events and whatever announcements deemed worthy by "Jack") and Howard Cogan supplying prerecorded quips and remarks between songs. Unlike most other stations in this format, the call sign does not include any form of the word "Jack," opting instead to hold over the call letters from a previous format, including the station's corporate identity. This is similar to its sister station in New York City, which maintained its WCBS-FM call letters during its two-year run as "Jack FM."
Although Jack proclaims that the station is run "in a dumpy little building in beautiful downtown Culver City", studios and offices for KCBS-FM are actually at the intersection of Venice Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles, about half a mile north of Culver City. The station's transmitter is based on Mount Wilson, sharing a tower with KCBS-TV Channel 2.
