Cumulus is not done "decimating" either KSFO or KGO . . . There are changes to me made, yet. Remember, KSFO is for SALE at a decently high price in the millions. Without results soon -- very soon in fact -- [local talent on both stations days are numbered] . . . newer technologies competing . . . Too little $$$$ and so few listeners.
Don't know exactly what newer technologies mean I guess it is related to the social media crap issue.
I read that same writer’s comments yesterday. This definitely sounds like someone now active in the industry, who truly knows what they’re talking about. I hope he’s right about the ksfo morning show. I long since gave up on them. I am not their target audience anymore, although somebody in the Bay Area must be liking it.
I was worried about The Barbara for a while last week. I even said the Rosary a few times, praying for her safety. I haven’t done that in years for anybody. About 7pm Saturday I turned to kgo, out of desperation. There was a good talker there. Somebody new, last name Bartholemew. He’s probably lib, but not stridently or incessantly that way. If I’m not listen to the Money Man on ksfo, I will turn to Bartholemew.
I hope Coast to Coast does welcome Barbara back.
C2C just let go of somebody else this Februrary. The guy was John something. John has a great voice, a very deep voice. Unfortunately, he had a tendancy to talk in a monotone. So I often could not understand what the heck he was saying. I would only hear a ‘dark purple rumble’. John liked to play obscure “B” side songs from the 60’s. A mixed blessing. Some of those tunes were better left unheard except as studies in quirkiness. One example was “Lather” from the Jefferson Airplane, a very strange song full of metaphors.
