I'm a fairly liberal person but they're so damn funny and like you said, they're common sense conservatives which I can relate to just fine. Now I'll follow them back to 810.

It's quite funny to hear conservatives applauding the news hard working people are being fired. They hear fair critical debate on KGO and call it liberal, as though that was a bad thing. Biased fools complaining every time they think they heard a liberal bias on the radio. It's not that liberals have a hard time hearing different points of view Arlo. What a trite small minded attempt to put down 80% of the citizens in the Bay Area. We liberals are liberal because we embrace freedom and reject authoritarian corporate control. Armstrong and Getty are both talented, lively, intelligent, and best of all - Funny!! Everyone I know who gives them a chance eventually come to enjoy their show. But the airwaves are littered to the brim with conservative brainwashed GOP water carriers likeRush, Beck, and the rest. And each of these blow hard pollute the air nationally. KGO was once the sole reprieve in this area from their garbage politics. save kgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280148653631124713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-53785449743732125772016-04-01T22:44:41.426-07:002016-04-01T22:44:41.426-07:00Armstrong and Getty are awesome.

Tho I've been a dedicated listener, he's gone farther right & probably fits the KSFO line up. I especially don't give a damn about Cumulus & delighted to listen more to 910. However, I'm listening to less AM radio anyway, when an hour is only about 1/2-hr of programming.

My take on this is (as going automated or syndicated always is) is to save money. KGO tried a re-programming just a short time ago you know, when they laid off almost all of the talk people, except for Owens who had an airtight contract. Well, it wasn't enough. They obviously are dying here. But all of the old media is on the ropes. Newspapers, radio stations, they are all sinking fast. I'm sorry for my friends at KGO losing their jobs. But I was in the radio biz for many years and it always always always boils down to money, as it has to with any buwiness. You have to pay your people. The fewer people you have, the less you lose. Unless of course you just lost every ear in the community doing it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014001644519523176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-28962445991059261932016-03-31T18:47:14.167-07:002016-03-31T18:47:14.167-07:00Armstrong and Getty are flat out horrible...oh wel...Armstrong and Getty are flat out horrible...oh well I don't listen to KGO anywayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-6222395539552550332016-03-31T18:20:28.725-07:002016-03-31T18:20:28.725-07:00Armstrong and Getty??
