It was really painful at times. The immature toilet humor and manic hyperactive antics makes the Morning Show iffy if there are small children up early (mine). As a result, I just don't listen to them anymore. The only adult left is their producer (Shari?), and I don't think she wants the job.

They were balanced and intelligent concerning int'l. and domestic news. They were a real hard working news team who knew what they were talking about. I was sad when Mel left previously and happy when she returned because her input really sparked up the show. But Sussman and Katie? No real professional news person or anchor could tolerate being on a team with these two. Katie needs to grow up and get some news (and history) experience. She is no match for Mel when it comes to knowing world affairs. Mel's been there and done that. She's heads above Sussman, as well, and he knows it. All he apparently knows is sports and he belongs on a sports station. In the morning, I want to know what is going on in the world......not what team won yesterday. Mel, don't come back to KSFO until they provide you with an intelligent, experienced news team. Oh, that horrible childish "hang up on yourself" game of Sussmans. Kills my ears. Delivering donuts is the perfect place for Katie. Besides, she talks too fast. I've found a station in Sacramento to listen to until Mel's back.

What a terrible way to start the day, routinely sickening me as the first thing I heard each morning. When KSFO switched to Red Eye Radio, I left the station. I, too now have switched to 910 AM to listen to Coast to Coast at 10 PM nightly and to KFBK 1530 Sacramento on weekends when 910 AM has Dr. Wattenburg in the night slot, another anti-government right wing who opposes government benefits unless it's for corporations, nuclear scientists, or weapons.jamesjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675271785758611446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-53922319119243299692013-08-02T09:39:40.809-07:002013-08-02T09:39:40.809-07:00This is a major problem for my listening habits.I ...This is a major problem for my listening habits.I need the stability of a couple of good pros and Melanie offered that, keeping Sussman in check but this threesome certainly was off track and sadly now, so is KSFO.

They're getting rid of the best and keeping the worst. Today I heard of a poll done by a leftist polling group that said that conservatives over whelming want the Republicans to veer sharply to the right and move as far away as possible from the leftist nonsense. The Republicans are catering to the news media and the left so badly. It brings to mind the sick comparison that it's more like Christ doing his thing based on the advice from Satan.

There was a great spark between the old team of Lee Rodgers, Melanie and Officer Vic that is very missing with Sussman. I never liked his talk show when he was a nightly solo act and he never filled Rodger's shoes. Melanie has done a lot of great things that meant a lot to tons of people because she's very genuine. She appeals more to the more mature people that care about news and facts rather than stupid stuff like when Sussman has uninformed and moronic leftists spewing their trash on a regular basis.

I assume Katy G. is the daughter of a Cumulus exec. How else could ANYONE keep her on the air? Perhaps it's a reflection of our cultural dumbing down. Suss's scatological humor (while I'm making my breakfast)and the valley girl cogitations of Katy G. are (to paraphrase Lee) "...enough to make a skunk vomit..." I've switched completely to the classical station on FM and much happier for it... <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-44866666137041859282013-07-16T21:01:44.243-07:002013-07-16T21:01:44.243-07:00FrankFrankAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-66729481056405405862013-07-16T21:00:32.353-07:002013-07-16T21:00:32.353-07:00I like Spencer HughsI like Spencer HughsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-17465305245861418602013-07-16T20:58:46.615-07:002013-07-16T20:58:46.615-07:00Brian just repeats what he heard on Levin the day ...Brian just repeats what he heard on Levin the day before, steals lines from O'rielly - "What say you?" and steals Open Line Friday from Rush.

It's a true embarrassment having her on there, but now let's just leave the poor woman alone. Yes, she stinks, but unfortunately so do many of the other women who do these 'sideline' reporting gigs on TV. They're basically just there to placate women who want to see more women doing these kind of jobs, or guys who like to look at pretty girls.
