Living in the northeast I’ve only heard her on rare occasions, but what I’ve heard, I’ve liked. She’ll do fine...
The Fox News Channel should pick her up for some work.
Mel could definitely fill-in for Laura Ingraham... if Tammy Bruce can fill in for Laura at times, Melanie can do so as well... Melanie has filled in for Mark Levin in the past, too...
Citadel reporting losing over $800 mm in the fourth quarter of 2007, annual losses topped a billion. It acquired a ton of radio stations and in many markets ad revenus has taken a nose dive so it was forced to take major write downs.
bttt!
That would be cool if she filled in for Rush once in a while too.
Melanie is a national treasure due to her solid conservative leanings and to her heroic stance in defending our military service men and women both here and abroad. Her devotion goes well beyond talk; her actions speak far louder than words.

If they couldn't shut down the influence of talk radio, then the only thing left to do was to dismantle conservative talk radio.
I was laughed at then, but it's happening now.

Well, Citadel can always borrow money from the Boys Club of the Bronx and hire Al Franken.
Thanks for the ping. Bump for Melanie Morgan. Thanks for all that you have done, Melanie.
A sad day in SF Radio.
My best to the lovely Melanie.
I always expected Lee Rodgers to retire, since I believe he's been broadcasting from a home studio in Arizona for the past few years. Also, evening local host Brian Sussman has been filling in for him for a year now. I didn't expect Morgan to go, but perhaps her activism made her a juicy target.
Plus, there's always the tit-for-tat that goes on. Since long-time liberal talk-show host Bernie Ward was eliminated from KGO due to child porn allegations, I guess an opposite sacrifice was demanded. Morgan was the logical choice since her husband, Jack Swanson, was the program director of both KGO and KSFO.

The lovely Ms. Morgan is the most effective Conservative Activist on the West Coast - and possibly the nation.
She has scalps on her lance and she has counted coup on many Leftists...
Ms. Morgan is a patriot, a leader and a warrior who walks the walk....
She will be missed.
Thanks for the ping!
Brilliant! :-)
I appreciated the funny.
Obviously you’ve never heard Morgan when she’s allowed out on her own. She filled in for Mark Levin not too long ago and it was rather painful to listen to. She isn’t strong enough to carry a show. Part of the problem is that she stutters, lots of “aaaahs and Ummms”. She doesn’t have a great grasp of the language which causes her to sound outright foolish as she casts about for what she thinks is a $5 word (and either misuses it or mispronounces it) when a 25 center would have sufficed. She’s no intellectual and is not capable of being the lead. If you’ve seen her on Hannity and Colmes you quickly realize that she doesn’t hold her own well in an argument as she becomes shrill and petulant. She’s far better suited to her work as an agitator and activist. The Cindy Sheehan of the conservative set, as it were.
Her husband is Operations Director. Obviously this time around it wasn’t enough.
Don’t kid yourself. It’s about the bottom line - the reason that a business exists. The Morning Show has two other personalities, the OWNER of that show (Lee Rodgers) and Officer Vic who OWNS the traffic report. They really didn’t need a third so why spend the money?
What the heck are you talking about? This is a business. There’s no tit for tat when someone one one station is let go. Ward was an embarrassment and couldn’t be allowed to continue his association with the station. Morgan’s firing had not a thing to do with it. And, how do you figure that she was a target simply because her husband is Operations Director? If anything, that is what saved her last time around. It certainly is not a detractor. If anything, it kept her in that chair longer than anyone else would have been kept on.
I’ve heard her filling in for Levin, and she was wonderful. She can’t stutter or do the “Ah” & “Um” more than Tammy Bruce does... Bruce is a disaster next to Morgan...
