IT'S UTTERLY AMAZING THAT SF MORNING RADIO COULD BE SO THOUROUGHLY SHITTY---Well, not that amazing really.Listening to this fucked-up crap I nailed the #-1 irritant, the big heap of goo that makes my blood pressure rise.
You ASSHOLES don't know how to TALK! To have a simple CONVERSATION! Everything, every moment, has to be a BIT! There's nothing genuine out there; it's as if every damn piece of dialogue has to be a gimmick. There's not an ounce of authenticity and the listeners (at least those few that still listen to terrestrial radio) don't trust the radio guys. They've become undone by blaring noise; artificial sounds; a cacophony of unnecessary audio pollution that makes you want to puke.
KSFO, the talk-station that runs a 5-9 chat show is now littered with NOISE and repetitious audio tripe; stupid train whistles; fart sounds; blaring NOISE--whoever ordered this crap should be aware that it sounds like shit.
KNBR is a mish-mash of artificial NOISE orchestrated by a near-50 "dude" with a fake New Jersey accent who thinks he's a real musician and that he has a voice --yeah, if mutants were only listening.
Too bad too because if the guy just blew his sound board up and actually tried to have a real conversation he sounds like he could tell a tale or two. The problem is he can't; he's simply incapable of just conversing like normal human beings. Who knows, maybe he's not normal.
I know how to talk out of my Ass!! Ask Karel!!

ReplyDeleteYou just described the Democratic Party and their spin.
Excuse me, but I think you meant to say Republican Party!
DeleteYou're both clever and funny.
DeleteI won't even leave KNBR on in the house anymore to keep my dogs company while I'm gone. Just because I don't want to hear even 5 seconds of that bullshit morning show when I walk out the door. I'm sure the dogs appreciate it, too.
ReplyDeleteBad move. KNBR is your best chance of scaring off the robbers.
DeleteOne thing I've noticed about the hipster asshole generation is "attention defecate syndrome" everything has to be hyper fast and short or they will loose their attention span.
ReplyDeleteThese little shitheads have adversely affected everything in our society which in part explains what you are saying. You see it all of the time in ads too.
I think the radio stations have purposely played into this hipster game and what you mention is a result.
And without Marin Yookla frat boy Murph to balance him out, Powlie Mac is even worse.
ReplyDeleteAnyone listen to Sarah and Vinnie on Alice @97.3???
DeleteI think Pawlie does better without the frenetic Murph there, but Rich is so correct, no one can just talk calmly anymore.
DeleteThis week, Paulie Mac is without Brian Murphy. I get the duo - the former sportswriter paired with the every man fan. That would actually be enough, but some delusional idiot told Paulie, and Paulie listened, that his musical parodies were good and funny. They are painful to listen to, as Rich mentions. His singing voice is either extremely sharp or flat, even if the parodies are even somewhat entertaining, which makes them non-entertaining. They also go on way too long - I don't know who encourages these things, but they must have tin ears. The homerism and fixation on KNBR teams kills me. I know the Giants are the flagship station, but this week's series against the A's is a perfect example. No credit given to the other home team as the A's are poised to sweep the series, but the conversation is all about the Giants. It would be nice to hear how the A's almost swept the Angels in their last series and are starting to gel. But no, it's all about the Giants. I know KNBR is part owner of the Giants, but they could broaden their listener base a little with some A's and Raiders talk sometime. Especially since the Niners suck now and the Raiders are the team on the come.
ReplyDeleteSorry, in the Bay Area, when comparing SF to Oak, it's not about the teams it's about the cities. SF is the beacon focal point for the Region. It's what everyone cares about from North Bay, South Bay, East Bay and the Valley. The only area that cares about Oak. is the East Bay. If you're KNBR, a newspaper or TV, it's pretty easy to understand what people care about---SF teams and not Oak teams. Look at ratings when teams have similar records...SF teams are 2X +. Simply speaking, SF teams have significantly more fans than Oak teams (and this has always been the case even when the A's and Raiders were winning championships).
Delete@11:51 - that's just not true. When the Giants were terrible in the '80s, attendance was terrible and the McGuire and Canseco A's were selling out the colisseum. Same with the Raiders in the '70s and late '90s, early 00s. I'm a Peninsula boy born and bred up until I was 30, but I've lived in Fremont for 25 years. You're reading recent tea leaves and not looking at the region, from a sports point of view, historically.
DeleteCanseco's first full season with the A's was '86, and McGwire's was '87. The Giants won the NL West in '87, subsequently losing the NLCS in 7 games (after holding a 3-2 lead going into STL). SF won the NL Flag in '89. The Giants certainly weren't terrible when The Bash Bros, Rickey, Hendu, Cobra, Stew and Company were selling out the Coliseum during that period.
Delete" SF is the beacon focal point for the Region. It's what everyone cares about from North Bay, South Bay, East Bay and the Valley. "
DeleteTry telling that to the 49ers.
Former KSFO morning host Lee Rodgers must be rolling over in his grave.

ReplyDeleteHey RWNJ, "Your an idiot wrapped in a moron"
This is all brought on by the millenials who have the attention span of a pet rock. Everything has to be "smash, boom, bang" else they be gone.
ReplyDeleteKevin Klein Live on Live 105 is pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty Good
DeleteWhen are you people going to get it! Despite all the spin from those alleged experts who say radio is alive and well and from the asinine fart for brains corporate greedy bastards who have done nothing more than put nails in the coffin, terrestrial radio is dead. D-E-D dead.
ReplyDeleteI read your post with a blank stare. Nothing sunk in, because none of it means anything to me. It used to be that radio was the social media, but now I find it hard to believe that anyone listens anymore. I'm sure it's not what it used to be, because mostly everyone has moved on. I don't think it's coming back.
ReplyDeleteAs long as there are people and it's free and something coming over the air, radio will never die. Of course the audience has become fractured as other media has proliferated but there are listeners out here who tune in.
DeleteTry KDFC. Intelligent radio!
ReplyDeleteI have switched to the Game in the mornings, morning team of KNBR are unlistenable, once in a while Murp asks some tough questions on a interview but that does not happen often. When Mac startings singing or they bring up any type of music, I shut it off, now I don't even go there
ReplyDeleteI remember when the FM morning shows ruled my life. Perry Stone at KSJO, Blazy and Bob at KOME. And on those days when I'd do something with my dad wed listen to Jim Eason who my dad called the king of Radio. The old man started me into evening news, always ABC. Heck I started to listen to mystery theater on my little portable AM/FM before I went to sleep.
ReplyDeleteI turned on KNBR while driving the other morning and was treated to 'Paulie Mac,' Kate Scott, and 'P-Con' doing their thing. There is a good example of how low radio has fallen. Total dreck!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised Armstrong and Getty hasn't been mentioned in this thread. Talk about sucky radio. Haven't tuned into KGO since they screwed everything up. Sad.
ReplyDeletePaul McCaffrey is the absolute worst. He asks questions that go on for three minutes and when doing the daily interview with Kruk or Kuip he has to pepper the conversation with their names every ten seconds, it's absolutely maddening. He'll drop a Kruk or Kuip upwards of 10-15 times in a seven minute segment. Yes, I've counted, don't judge me, haha! And Brian Murphy is the biggest whiner on radio, he's such a little girl. It boggles my mind that people actually like that show!
