An affiliate organization, Global Jazz, Inc., is the programmer of the California State University, Long Beach Foundation-owned jazz and blues public radio station KKJZ 88.1 FM. BiographySaul Levine was born in Cheboygan, Michigan, and attended the University of Michigan, UC Berkeley, the University of Southern California School of Social Work, and the UCLA School of Law.[1][3] Levine established KKGO in 1959 (originally KCBA) on limited funds, helped greatly by the fact that he was able to buy a used FM transmitter for $1500 from a Michigan station which had gone off the air. The station's original antenna was built in a garage for $300.[3] He cleared brush with a tractor on land that he rented from the U.S. Forest Service for $350 a year. Initially, KKGO was a classical station and the first broadcast was a selection from Franz Lehár's Land of Smiles. But the station was unable to compete for advertising. As a result, it changed to an all-jazz format and remained jazz until 1989 when it switched back to classical as a result of KFAC going off the air.[3] In 1963, Levine donated a transmitter and antenna to KEDC, the student-operated radio station of San Fernando Valley State College.[4] In 1974, Levine participated in Los Angeles Jazz Week which was proclaimed by then-mayor Tom Bradley.[5] In 1984, Levine founded the now-defunct all-news station KKAR (550 AM) in Hesperia, California.[6] In 2004, Levine filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission to force the government to impose indecency standards on satellite radio, a move Levine alleged would "level the playing field" between terrestrial and satellite radio. Ultimately, this failed.[7] In 2007, KKGO adopted a country music format due to declining revenues.[3] Although the station is now worth at least $100 million, Levine has refused to sell the business, saying that his wife doesn't want him sitting around the house all day.{{Citation needed|date=March 2019}} Levine has two children, both of whom are involved in the family business. His son Michael was marketing director for KMZT.
