Here is what I listen to mostly (might tune in to other hosts for 10-30 minutes, but not on a regular basis).<br />I'm female and not into sports so don't even know about those stations. History, politics and current events is where my interest lies. Mornings Armstrong and Getty 910, <br />9 to noon Ronn Owens or Dave Ramsey 960 am, noon to 3 p.m.<br />Randy Rhoades 960 or Tom Sullivan 910 (yes, he is very conservative, but he is polite, he listens to caller who disagree with him, and he seems to be fair) 3 to 4 p.m. Len Tillim 910 or Norman Goldman (or Coleman) 960, 4 to 7 p.m. Gill Gross of course on 910, then Alan Colmes although I get tired of his callers, 10 p.m. to 1 p.m very weak, usually Thom Hartman, I like him, he has a lot of good information, but tends to be a little boring. If I have insomnia or wake up early Bill Press on 960 3 to 6 a.m. Week-ends mostly KGO, a little KSFO. I'm hoping with time 910 will improve their week-end programming, there is plenty of slots where they could schedule John Rothman, who I miss every day. I like to listen to hosts I disagree with, but can't stand the Sean Hannity's, Rush etc. Sussman, they are too predictible, Brian Sussman is still on the birther issue, please how pathetic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-79921017715363919602012-06-01T22:44:43.989-07:002012-06-01T22:44:43.989-07:00False.

Who...Peace, my butt, you corporate troll from KSFO. Who said ANYTHING about government control? Rich, you a communist? What he is saying is that gov't controlled the market so there were MORE radio stations, not fewer, there were MORE owners, not fewer, there were MORE people employed, not fewer, there were MORE formats, not less. Perhaps we can't go back because technology has changed, but who said anything about government controlling it completely? The regulation would allow more choices, not fewer. Only a dumbass KSFOite would think that way. I sign this as a conservative who spent a quarter-century in the journalism, so go ahead with your barbs of "you aren't a conservative," etc. The conservatives of today's ilk of all ages are lock-step thinkers.

So, if everybody who reads this can the time to write ten email, leave 10 emails, make ten telephone calls to those advertisers who are advertising on KGO (and other stations) then it will make a difference.

There is no difference except there is greater freedom of speech with corp. But, maybe SF radio heads want to hear about The Big O 24/7? Might work. If Cumulus is doing this bad of a job in SF and, like me, don't listen to KNBR anymore, yes because of how Ralph was treated when he was let go(I'm 50/50 on Ralph, love to hate him, etc..) then revenues will go down and because they are giving crappy service to the listeners, advertisers will not pay because they are not getting their money's worth.

I know he's got a family to support, but hopefully he invested well and can ask his wife to scale back her spending.<br /><br /> The shots I see people taking at him remind me of fans who sour on a onetime star player who no longer the big impact guy he once was, and is making too much money.
