KFI (640 AM) is a Los Angeles, California radio station owned and operated by iHeartMedia, Inc. It began operations on April 16, 1922, and became one of the first high-powered, clear-channel Class A stations. It was the first U.S. station west of Chicago to broadcast at 50,000 watts.

Studios and offices are in Burbank, between Warner Bros. Studios and The Burbank Studios. The transmitter site is in La Mirada near the Artesia Boulevard exit of Interstate 5, the Santa Ana Freeway. By day, its signal can be heard throughout Southern California, with city-grade coverage as far as San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Tijuana, and secondary coverage as far as Bakersfield and northwestern Mexico, and at times can be heard some distance into Nevada and Arizona. At night, it can be heard across much of the western half of North America.

KFI and KNX (AM 1070 & 97.1 FM) are the primary entry points for the Southern California Emergency Alert System, which is responsible for activation of the EAS when hazardous weather alerts, Disaster area declarations, and child abductions are issued.

KFI is licensed by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to broadcast in the HD (hybrid) format; however, it was reported that KFI turned off its HD signal as of August 12, 2015. Like other stations owned by iHeartMedia, KFI uses iHeartRadio to stream its webcast.

William Wolf Handel (born August 25, 1951) is a Brazilian-born American radio host and attorney.

Handel currently hosts two radio programs on KFI in Los Angeles, California. First is KFI's local morning drive-time show, where he comments on current events. The program is one of the top-rated morning programs in the Los Angeles radio market, with more than 1 million listeners. Additionally, he hosts a legal advice show on weekends called Handel on the Law, which launched in 1985 and is syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks, co-owned with KFI by iHeartMedia, Inc. Handel on The Law is heard on more than 150 stations in the U.S. He is also the director and founder of the Center for Surrogate Parenting.

His legal show is currently his longest-running radio program to date. Handel's shows played across the U.S. on America's Talk channel 158 on XM Satellite Radio. In 2008, Handel's shows were discontinued by XM Radio when it merged with Sirius Satellite Radio.

Handel joined 640 KFI Los Angeles in 1989, doing a weekend legal show called "Handel On The Law." On July 16, 1993, Handel began broadcasting a talk and information wake-up show, replacing the prior morning team. Before January 2014, The Bill Handel Show aired from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and was heavily news based. The first hour primarily discussed Handel's personal life, letters to the show, and banter with other staffers. The light banter in the 5 a.m. hour was cut when, in January 2014, the show moved to its current 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. time slot.

On his weekend show, Handel on the Law, he gives terse "marginal legal advice" designed to point callers in the right direction. He often makes fun of callers for getting themselves into their legal predicament, stating bluntly, "You have absolutely no case." Still, the show is informative in that it deals with many common legal problems, such as landlord-tenant issues, child custody, and divorce, in an easy-to-understand way. The show is heard Saturday mornings on KFI, but affiliate stations may air it anytime during the weekend.

From September 8, 2009, to February 12, 2010, Handel aired an additional show from noon to 2 p.m. on KFI after Dr. Laura Schlessinger moved from KFI to another Los Angeles talk station, 980 KFWB.

On September 11, 2001, Handel was on air live when the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center took place. Most of the Clear Channel FM music stations in Los Angeles switched to a live feed of Handel's show as news reports and further attacks unfolded. At that time, Rush Limbaugh's show typically would follow The Bill Handel Show on KFI. Not only was Limbaugh on a plane heading to a golf tournament that day but telecommunications systems were also devastated in New York, where his show was based at that time. Handel continued to broadcast for another three hours, taking the place of The Rush Limbaugh Show on most stations in the country (as well as the taped broadcast for Armed Forces Radio overseas). This led Handel to guest host two more occasions on The Rush Limbaugh Show.
