Spencer Hughes is or is not gonno from KSFO, although I'm getting all sorts of texts insisting the 9-Noon talker has been offed.This news, if confirmed, wouldn't be entirely shocking since Hughes has a history of bouncing around from station to station. And Cumulus is a company that likes to engage and raise hell over the slightest misbehavior committed by its employees, enter Hughes, maybe.
We don't know the specifics but we could imagine.
We're crossing the wagons right now. We've also heard some rumors about other impending moves at 55 Hawthorne --must have been quite a meeting with Metheny on Friday Morning.
Like I said, we're on it.
Was a lot of closed doors at the San Francisco Cluster.
*Developing...
Ah, what a shame... Don't let the door hit your right wing racist ass on the way out.
ReplyDeleteDonnatella? Your name says it all.
DeleteIf he was racist, at least he was open with it. Unlike you closet racists that call others racist when you in fact are racist towards someone. EVERYONE is racist in one way or another, assclown.
DeleteYou can't get a radio job in Dallas or Atlanta if you're not a conservative.
ReplyDeleteWe don't live in the United States of California and we sure as fuck don't like in the United States of San Francisco. You should run down to DFW some weekend, rent a car and find yourself a nice steakhouse. Go sit at the bar, have a few drinks to loosen up and run your mouth about how dumb and backward Texans are. Let me know if you make it home without a trip to the local emergency room. I would be surprised if you lived to tell about it!
In other words Texas is like the worst gang infested Ghetto and you're so proud of it you moved to Danville CA, most likely in a gated community. You beat your chest like a tough guy complaining about CA and constantly tell us how great Dallas is, and yet you're still here. Why don't you and Sven silva go have a steak in dfw and help him find a job out there big boy? You and your big Texan hat and your holster and your cowboy boots with spurs. Sort of like Broke Back Mountain you and Sven Silva ;)
DeleteI hope Mr. Bouley is next.
ReplyDeleteI'll double that 9:20.
DeleteOh please oh please oh please...
DeleteWhen a racist and right wing hack like Sven Silva gets canned I become a huge fan of "The Invisible Hand", "The Free Market" and every other right wing economic theory. Let's see if this idiot runs to the union to represent his sorry ass lol. I hope this is true. Thank you for making my Friday Rich!!!
ReplyDeletelol@this assclown. Go read some headlines tonight and see what's supposedly coming to America real soon because of the lax Mexican border. What's that? The Fed's are warning of an impending attack either near the border or in a California city? You didn't hear that on your liberal news stations? Uninformed Democratic sheep.
Delete@10:25 sounds like a drunken, acid stricken Alex Jones fan. Typical Sven Silva and Michael Cabbage listener. You forgot to say: "liberalism is a mental disorder" while you drag your knuckles and drool all over the floor. Ass hat!
DeleteRead some actual news, 12:11, instead of projecting your own imperfections on those who bring you a taste of reality.
DeleteJust because someone tells the truth and destroys your illusions doesn't make then "drunken" or "acid stricken". Fool.
Who TF is Sven Silva?
DeleteBased on the comments in this blog I listened to KSFO morning show a few times this week. It was as described-ad ad, bash Obama, outrage over people doing something silly, ad, ad and so on.
ReplyDeleteI am really curious as if Sussman et al, really believe this is entertaining and expect anyone to listen.
At times I like Spencer, most of the time not, usually when he does fun subjects, and talk about equal rights for gays, which to his credit he is for. The rest of the time not so much, he seem to really have hostility towards people that work for minimum wage for any length of time. What is worse bouncing from job to job or working steady at a lower wage? If he was fired perhaps he can get a job at McDonalds and work his way up, which according to him anyone can. As for Sussman he is a total joke, and I actually think Spencer is/was better, not much, but on some subjects definitely, I cannot believe the numerous times Sussman use the phrase "Listen folks", I though talk show host was suppose to be in command of the English language, add on Katie's "Yeah" and the both sound like morons that have no business being radio hosts. Compare them to Lee Rogers, Melanie Morgan, Ronn Owens, Bernie Ward, Gene Burns and John Rothman, Christine Craft and a few others, it is hard to understand what exactly they are doing on the radio 4 hours 5 days a week.
ReplyDeleteI'm double-double dissapointed. I was hoping to read that Sussman finally was removed from his position, and Ms. Green too. I liked Spencer far better than the morning duo., better than Bearman too. Bearman is okay, but I continue to struggle with his ever changing vocal pitch.
ReplyDeleteGreat...so summer is ending, yet both Sussman AND that low rent True Car Woman still continue, full. effen steam ahead! You know, sometimes I think someone is setting out to punish us in the Bay Area for something we may or may not have done. ...My faith in the 'notorious' Pig Virus is going up in smoke. I think he has a case of Cold Chicken Feet! Some 'Caped Villan" he makes!
Every time "Spencer Hughes" gets fired another angel gets it's wings.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, 8:48. "And another auditioner gets a chance."
DeleteThe car spot is a national buy and Clear Channel has no control or interest in changing it, as it is a Clear Channel "network" buy for most if not all of their stations nationally. It helps pay the bills at a discounted rate. Not exclusive to the Bay Area.
ReplyDeleteWas hoping that Bloomberg Radio had bought KSFO but may be too pricey. Then, having to rebuild in five weeks. Still trying to figure out which station it's looking to buy.
Hughes isn't racist. he's just a race baiter on the radio because he's not smart enough to do radio in a different way. no different from brian sussman and countless others.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if Bloomberg LLC bought or is in the process of buying KSFO.
ReplyDeleteThe *best* station Bloomberg could acquire would be KGO, but let's assume it's not on the market, for no reason other than the Dickeys would be admitting they destroyed it and were utterly feckless in doing anything useful with it in three years of ownership (with the possible exception of airing 49ers pre-season and early season games that conflict with the Giants on KNBR).
DeleteThe next best signal is KEAR, the former Big 610 KFRC, and it's probably on the market. But that sale has a cascading effect, in that it's the mother ship for other Family Radio stations and translators. A translator can't originate its own programing, so what's left of Family would have to designate another of their few remaining stations as the origination station. Not impossible, just a chunk of work for an chain with financial problems that seems to be unraveling its holdings.
KSFO has an OK signal, but given what the Dickeys have allowed to happen there, it can't be worth a lot more than its "stick" value (the value of the license and transmitter). OTOH, Bloomberg could probably LMA it from Cumulus quickly while a license transfer works its way through the FCC and be on the air within days. Depends on how desperate Cumulus is to have 560 off its hands. But it would explain why Sussman's still there, he's basically holding down The Alamo until the bullets are exhausted.
The others that have been mentioned (860, 1220, 1310, 1550), Bloomberg would have to be desperate or out of its mind to buy those.
How about 1100 KFAX? 50kw fulltime,, 4 tower directional, covers city grade SF, San Jose, Sacramento and better at night.
DeleteHey, I could've mentioned KNBR and KCBS too. Everything's for sale, if the price is ridiculously high enough. But I thought we were speculating about signals that actually could be available, due to abysmal ratings (560, 810), change of business plans (1220, 1310, 1550), or financial problems (610, 860). KFAX/1100 is owned by Salem, and nothing I've heard indicates it falls into any of the aforementioned categories.
DeleteActually, if it's wild speculation we're doing, why not add KKSF/910 and KNEW/960 to the list, if Clear Channel ever decides it wants to euthanize its dogs.
Are Brian Sussman and Melanie Morgan still safe???
ReplyDeleteMelanie Morgan left KSFO months ago to go to KSRO, Santa Rosa. Sussman has been on and off as has traffic dudette Katie Green for over a month. Ethan Bearman has been semi-joking that he will be Sussman's replacement and was "discovered" by Sussman. Not true. Bearman does talk on KSCO weekends as well as on KSFO. Don't know that Morgan would come back at least while Sussman is in the building and unless management had drastically changed since the last debacle that changed her reason to leave KSFO in the first place.
ReplyDeleteYou are a little out of touch aren't you. Melanie could not stand the 2 yahoo's Brian and Katie, and walked out long time ago (a year or more) I believe she is with a station in Santa Rosa. As for safe I don't think anybody in that business is ever safe (maybe Rush because believe he has some say or ownership in his syndication). I can't see how Brian Sussman can be safe, he is awful.
ReplyDelete12.02 PM, "Are Brian Sussman and Melanie Morgan still safe?" "Safe" from what? Melanie doesn't even work at that station anymore, quit over a year ago. Please DO YOUR HOMEWORK before coming here to speak to the grown ups. Try to keep up with the rest of the class.. What is this, the Marathon Man, asking Dustin Hoffman in the dentist's chair; "Is It Safe?"
ReplyDeleteSomething I said???
DeleteCheck out the last ten minutes of Pat Thurston's show.on Sunday. She shows how out of touch she really is. It's ok for others to lose their jobs over principle, but when it comes to her, that's "different."
ReplyDeleteSomewhere up there Lee Rodgers is rattling his lunchbox full of rocks and laffin' his ass off.
ReplyDelete104 good buddy
DeleteHughes is a nutjob racist classless punk. He will get whats coming to him
