Re: [IRCA] NEW 1060, 1070 and 1080 loggings from Redding CA 1/26/15



Yes Dennis what happened to KGO was a real shame. I liked most of their hosts. But at least now I have a wifi radio and can check out talk shows from across the US and Canada, but still I have never found anything like KGO. Those were local talk show hosts too. That is rare today.

They bought it and promptly fired a number of popular show hosts. They shipped some of the others to other Cumulus stations in the area with inferior signals. The ratings are a fraction of what they used to be. Many listeners migrated to KCBS.

In addition, their Sunday morning programming before about 8 AM is purest snake oil infomercial.   You can't be great all the time.
