Told to me by a former ABC Executive:
"It was purely business. They (ABC) aren't going to pay network compensation dollars for no saleable audience and "crappy" clearance. Read the former as KGO having no saleable audience in target demographics.
Read the latter as KGO only taking the first two minutes of the hourly newscast, and not carrying the newscasts at all during the Mon-Fri talk shows."

In other words, KGO radio is so shitty that abc news chose instead to go with 910am and their rating of 1.0. Gil Gross was so giddy that he posted a selfie on his Facebook page wearing an abc news tshirt...
ReplyDeletethe new news does not even ID what organization they are
ReplyDeleteI believe it comes from CNN...but it's unbranded for some reason.
DeleteIt's the Westwood One News Network, which is basically a combination of the former NBC News Radio and CNN Radio (neither of which exist anymore) - never figured out why they don't ID their news. ABC was also added to KSRO (1350/103.5) up in Santa Rosa after KGO dropped them.
DeleteThat's fine with us. No one needs that liberal news garbage.
ReplyDeleteThere are other news outlets available.
Good riddance to ABC Radio news!
I agree with you! I prefer the conservative news garbage. And the conservative news approach that if you peddle the same bullshit enough times, it becomes the truth. Hahahaha... bugger off, Connie!!
DeleteGet off my lawn libtards!
Delete'Liberal news garbage?' It was be interesting to see when 9:23pm was born. Obviously they don't seem to have a clue as to the role the media has played in our society for the last two centuries. Why don't you stop shouting and take the time to learn a few things my angry friend. You sound like a petulant, naive little child.
ReplyDeleteBut i thought all Cumulus stations, not just KGO, dropped ABC News. That's also happened for WABC New York and KKOH Reno from my observations.
