KBIG 104.3 LOS ANGELES "Rick Diego" July 31st 1996 by Jean luc

By 1990, KBIG-FM dropped the 1960s songs and began playing more current hits.
In 1992, KBIG-FM shifted to hot adult contemporary (hot AC). This lasted until 1995, when the station moved back to mainstream AC to again compete with KOST.
In the 1990s, KBIG-FM aired Disco Saturday Night, a weekly show featuring disco music.
In late 1996, KBIG-FM once again moved to a hot AC format.
On February 8, 1994, KBIG-FM was sued by singer Barry Manilow, who sought $13 million in damages and $15 million in punitive damages. Maniolow claimed that one of KBIG's advertisements was causing irreparable damage to his professional reputation. The ad, a 30-second spot which began airing on January 31, suggested that people listen to KBIG because it does not play Manilow's music. The lawsuit was filed in Orange County Superior Court by Los Angeles attorney C. Tucker Cheadle.
Two days later, KBIG agreed to drop the commercial poking fun at the singer, but a lawyer representing his business interests stopped short of agreeing to withdraw the $28 million lawsuit.
