WKFB is owned and operated by Broadcast Communications, Inc. History For many years this station was WBCW (1530), and for a brief period, WKTW. The station originally operated at 1530 kHz with a daytime-only power of 1,000 watts, with 250 watts during critical hours, barely reaching the fringes of Westmoreland County. WBCW was founded by broadcast engineer Albert Calisti, who first put it on the air back in 1974, having completed an eight-year stint as general manager of WTRA in Latrobe. Very much a family business, Calisti did the engineering and hosted a provocative and often amusing local talk show called "People Talk" weekday afternoons from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The show was so provocative that visitors to the Westmoreland County Court House in nearby Greensburg could hear WBCW playing up and down the halls in various row offices. It was well known that various politically involved citizens including those at the court house who held political positions listened to the show daily to make sure that Calisti was not talking about them. He was known to call certain people:"a kook". The show was so provocative that his wife, Verna found it necessary to keep the front entrance door to the radio station locked during most afternoons, fearing that unwanted visitors who were upset with Al's show would show up and cause an unwanted incident. But Al had a lighter side too, hosting a weekly polka music show on Saturdays called "Happy Music for Happy People". Either way, Al definitely was a character and made a lot of people smile. His wife Verna kept the books and sold airtime, and in the early years of the station operation their daughter Jacqueline Rae served as program director. The station had a limited number of other full-time and/or part-time employees outside of the Calisti family.
