MEDIA ADVISORY: Los Angeles World Airports Launches New Radio Station at Ontario International Airport to Provide Security and Travel Information

Posted on: Friday, 10 November 2006, 00:00 CST

 WHAT:   Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) will hold a news conference to         launch a new radio station at Ontario International Airport (ONT)         in time for the upcoming busy Thanksgiving holiday period. The new         radio station, on 770 AM, will be part of ONT's overall security         program.  It will provide the traveling public and airport visitors         with critical airport security information.  The station will also         provide information on terminal and airline locations, parking,         ground transportation, services and amenities, and travel         recommendations that will make traveling through ONT easier and         more convenient.         The Federal Communications Commission allows a low-powered signal         for this type of station which can be heard for several miles on         roads and freeways surrounding the airport. Caltrans placed signs         along freeways approaching the airport to inform drivers about the         station.  The station's studio is located in the airport's         Administration Building and a newly constructed transmitter site is         on the airport perimeter near the main access road.         Visuals include the new antenna tower, broadcast equipment on site         with airport in the background, studio with broadcast gear, and         airport officials switching on a giant mock on-air switch.         ONT is located in Southern California's "Inland Empire" region that         includes San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. The medium-hub         airport, which handles 7.2 million passengers and 575,000 tons of         cargo annually, is one of four owned and operated by LAWA, a Los         Angeles city department that oversees an airport system in the         nation's second largest metropolitan area. The other airports owned         and operated by LAWA are Los Angeles International (LAX), Palmdale         Regional (PMD) and Van Nuys (VNY).
