I couldn't believe KGO had the Doug Andrew show or whatever that annoying person's show is, however they did make up for it later when John Rothmann sat in for Pat Thurston, however my guess is it was not a decision made by the program director, but rather my Pat. Anyway it was so nice and comforting to hear John's voice and intelligent analysis of the shooting in Orlando. Later I listened a little to Maureen Langdon just towards the end of her show. too much giggling, but she did talk about Orlando. She has gotten better since she started, but she cannot hold a candle to John Rothmann.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-66759136606152098022016-06-12T23:07:49.577-07:002016-06-12T23:07:49.577-07:00Actually KFBK is iHeartMedia not Cumulus.

BTW: KRON4 was airing an infomercial with Larry King -- or was that Fox2? It doesn't matter. It's how things get done. <br /><br />Deregulation of radio, automation and an emphasis on going cheap (thank you Dickeyhead brothers) have made media worthless. You can't rely on your local media to tell you a thing. <br /><br />Meanwhile, Chet Huntley, Walter Cronkite, Peter Jennings and Howard K. Smith are turning in their graves.
