Well, nice work Cumulus. Now KFOG too has a meth-tweaker AM show. You've driven me over to NPR -- of course the music sucks, but at least I don't have to hear inane drivel from some idiot loudmouth.

OK, so maybe it's not what we wanted, getting Irish Greg back, but it's far better than that Tony guy. Wow, that was the worst pick ever! I actually sent an email to Dennis Constantine and he tried to defend the choice of Tony, saying "give them some time." I gave them NO time. Dennis ruins the afternoons for me, too. I don't hold out much hope of recovery with him in the Program Director's seat, but at least one good move was made with giving Tony the boot. He'd be great on some other loud dumb morning show, but not a classic, classy, GREAT SF station like KFOG.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-91143690779067747972012-06-11T21:27:28.076-07:002012-06-11T21:27:28.076-07:00Tony sounds like an imbecile, If you have nothing ...Tony sounds like an imbecile, If you have nothing smart to say shut up, never mind, i just gonna Alice least they are funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-19981845978104503252012-06-11T09:54:46.267-07:002012-06-11T09:54:46.267-07:00I'm nauseous.

I've been listening to KFOG since my mother told me they changed from her music to mine, back when M Dung was on in the morning. Couldn't take M, but the music was great! Then they put Dave on in the morning and it was the best thing to ever happen to radio. Been a loyal listener ever since, well, until now.

The gear shift from KBAY roots classical to the SF form of album rock was a bright light after the demise of the old KSAN, spawned of the original Tom Donahue experiment at KMPX. KMEL was pretty and almost over-polished as was KRQR. Even the run of KOME and KSJO wasn't quite the same type of insight but were appreciated around the local dial. KFOG outlasted these as the "local", It's had a good run but the slippery downhill slope toward airwave mediocrity runs faster as it was sold to the corporate stooges with their money grubbing mentality. Couldn't believe the leap off the cliff with the present morning show pablum. Yeowch. What an insult to even marginally thoughtful former listeners. I erased both presets on my radio. What station will rise from these ashes to fill the gap? I'm on an NPR detox diet or I'll have to take the Way-long route to work to loop out into range of KPIG or KRVR.

The format was a little liberal for me but I grew to appreciate the morning crew. I was crushed when Dave left but still hung in there with the rest of the crew. Little by little everyone was being moved or replaced. KFOG morning crew made this conservative more socially aware. Like many others KFOG listeners, I gave the new crew a chance but I will be signing off.

Then I heard Greg Gory and knew that something had gone horribly wrong on KFOG. I have been a foghead for over 10 years and have been listening to the morning show for almost 25 years. It was hard when Dave Morey left but I adjusted to Webster's style. Next to go was Peter, then Rene and now Webster and Irish Greg all in one shot! Well now it's time for me to go as well.

I do like Greg, but I am positive that there will be no warming up to this immature and imbecile morning crew, and I am now searching for another morning radio program.
