XM Satellite Radio will trip down memory lane to focus entirely on the sounds of local station KFWB from the era when the AM station -- now an all-news outlet -- spun the Fab 40. At 4 p.m. Friday, XM's ``The 60s'' (Channel 6), will present five hours of music, jingles, sound checks and local color about the area's high schools, restaurants and personalities from the golden age of KFWB, which was the first true Top 40 station in Los Angeles. A call-in segment will allow listeners to share their memories.
