Re: [IRCA] Cumulus shifting KGO to News

[Larry Stoler <lstoler99@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree.  This is very sad.

KGO was a successful live, locally programmed talk station for years.

Going up against KCBS which has been all news for a long time and now is 
available on both AM and FM is going to be a real challenge for Cumulus.

I thought the ultimate goal for companies such as Cumulus, Clear channel and 
others was to save money.  If they intend to offer a live-local presentation 
for news, they will still need a good sized staff to do it right and that 
costs in the long run.
