All personnel were let go today in a morning shakedown, including PD Kevin Barrett and sports director, Ken Dito. (see below UPDATE)

**Developing story...
UPDATE: 8: 18 PM PDT:
There is more on the front: I'm being told that Michael Savage is done, (at least in this market)
The A's PR Director, Bob Rose, e-mailed to acknowledge the story and added: "Saw your report and also got your voicemail. Ken Pries asked me to tell you that this will not affect the A's games, Townsend show or Dito. It’s all status quo." Indeed, as I reported.
Chris Townsend's pre and post-game show will remain.
I'm hearing conflicting stories about Dito. Yes, I see the Rose quote. If Dito is staying, he's either got an arranged agreement with the A's, or an outside party. I'll stick by my account.
**We'll update more in future posts and have a lot more on this matter in due time.
If Savage is too right wing for KSFO,than he's out of a market of people he says he hates anyways. I sort of noticed that ever since my long rant here about him,those topics and my what -does-a- rich-man-like-him-have-to-complain about? have been brought up often on his show,including defending owning expensive toys while he weiners about how terrible it is in the USA.
ReplyDeleteGood riddance-he only made sense when he talked about carrot juice.
Rich, if the pug is pulled on KTRB, (let's be honest, it isnt working, and is gaining little traction in the market) where will the A's end up next year if the station shuts down?
ReplyDeleteAlso why the slams on Dito? You used to be a big supporter of his.
