**I encourage letters from you if you have any questions regarding the biz in general and any specific info; I'm planning a new Q and A feature, so include a 'handle or name so I can publish--if you'd prefer to be Mr./Ms. X, fine.
**Is KGO radio AM news the new TMZ? Both "Ed and Jen" were plugging mightily the celebrity gossip/news site this morning, (and frequently other times of late) and sure enough, the latter half of the "news" is Ed and Jen chit-chatting about innocuous Hollywood minutiae, (Lohan, Jolie, Pitt, et al)
This is all fine and dandy and KGO has every right to go down this road, but when its so clearly aimed at getting an audience that KGO clearly doesn't have, then it becomes mere disingenuous shtick. Beyond that, it also dumbs down the existing audience base--here's a thought, why NOT chit-chat about LOCAL items-maybe that would work and stop some listeners switching a dial down to listen to, uh, NEWS.
**Can the syndicated biggie locally, (not Rush) survive the year? There's a growing feeling that he's uber-flat-lined and the upper suits are mulling.
TIPS: Any tip is welcome and if you care to be anonymous, your name will not be used. Memos, e-mails, fine--feel free to copy and paste.
