Are we a SF station with studios in SJ or a SJ station w/a xmtr in SF? Either way, it sucks and it lacks an definable identity. I liked KNTV back in the Don Hayward and Stew Park days. Yes, it was hokey and quasi-small market, but at least it had an identity and was definable.<br />BTW, I also miss the over-modulated spots for Downtown Datsun and anything voiced by Frank Darien.

Damon is a welcome voice on weekends--much more intelligent that some of the "talent" of CBS Sports. I will switch to JT the Brick rather than listen to CBS Sports or--ugh--Ferrell.

It would be nicer if he was humbler whenever he talks about himself, but most hosts like to pump themselves up, and make themselves seem better than they are. I just hope he doesn't lose listeners because of how he talks about himself. Sometimes a lot of times he's joking, but sometimes you can't tell. LOL.<br /><br />Overall, Damon is a really good sports talk show host though. This might be a bad question but honestly, do we really listen to these sports talk show hosts and sports talk shows for knowledge? To me, that's not really what these sports talk shows and sports talk show hosts are for. They're there to in a sense entertain and basically moderate sports discussion, as a host. This is entertainment for a lot of these sports talk show host. To Gary, this is probably entertainment. Yes, it is nice and icing on the cake whenever you can learn something new from these guys, and I think Damon is informative at times or talks about things that make you think every once in a while, or make you look at things from a sports context in a different way, but I tune in to his show mainly for the sports talk though.<br /><br />As far as him being on KNBR 1050, yeah, it sucks, but I wonder if part of him being on KNBR 1050 is that he can fill-in for Jim Rome every once in a while and do what he's doing now on CBS Sports Radio, filling in on Saturday mornings. I wonder if he would be doing all of this, if he was on KNBR 680. But yes, if Damon doesn't go national, hopefully he will be back on KNBR 680. <br /><br />I agree that I would listen to Damon over any of the other KNBR hosts any day of the week, even though I think Damon and Krueger could do a good show. Gary brings Krueger down, and Krueger is stronger by himself as well, just like Damon is. Damon and Krueger are the best hosts on KNBR right now, but if you're talking about talent, Damon has the best talent of anyone on that station. It is too bad he's wasting his career on KNBR 1050 though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-28585999879229664382013-03-09T14:33:14.356-08:002013-03-09T14:33:14.356-08:00I meant "Investigation Discovery channel"...I meant "Investigation Discovery channel"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-75214261031598539622013-03-09T13:37:05.539-08:002013-03-09T13:37:05.539-08:00And how ironic would it be if KNBR poached Papa..a...And how ironic would it be if KNBR poached Papa..and Papa and Lund replaced Fitz and Brooks?.<br />Could it happen?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-40546018522484646192013-03-09T11:48:42.407-08:002013-03-09T11:48:42.407-08:00Have you seen this new channel called the "Id...Have you seen this new channel called the "Identity" channel with true crimes stories?.

He is better than most in these parts though. I wonder if they're replacing Jody McDonald? That guy is absolutely terrible. At least the West Coast will get some representation on that network.

SF is the major city, but the communities to the south and east have more people and more jobs. Is KTVU an Oakland-only station? Are KGO and KPIX only SF stations? <br /><br />The reality is that stations cover news that is convenient for them to cover and reach out into the outskirts only for something major or very unique.<br /><br />A better question might be, where are the meters? Because that's where the news coverage will be focused.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-6342591883251004672013-03-09T09:57:06.668-08:002013-03-09T09:57:06.668-08:00Tim Roye is and always has been a stellar bball an...Tim Roye is and always has been a stellar bball announcer and a swell guy too. worked with him at KFBK and was always impressed...delighted with his continuing success.Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-16073806777604428462013-03-09T09:48:24.318-08:002013-03-09T09:48:24.318-08:00Damon Bruce loves to tell everyone how good he is ...Damon Bruce loves to tell everyone how good he is and how much more he knows about sports. He may understand radio and how to be a broadcaster, but the guy doesn't bring much to the table in terms of inside knowledge or credible opinion about the local teams. Instead, all we here from Damon is usually a lot of loud braying, simplifying issues and making vague generalities about what's going on with the local teams. That's just one person's opinion, but this guy is nothing special. If he was so good, how come he's been consigned to KNBR 1050, a station that virtually no one listens to? I will say this for Damon however...I would listen to him over any of the hosts on KNBR any day of the week. And don't get me started on Kate, "Hey, do I sound enough like an announcer yet?" Scott, or Patrick (hey, Lee Hammer says I'm good enough to go on the air but I'm a dysfunctional idiot!) O'Connor.
