He could grate with his long winded questions and other quirks, but he was passionate and intelligent and he was a long time fan, like us. He suffered and rejoiced along with the rest of us as the years went by. Plus he was outspoken, a trait we don't see today in radio or TV. People loved to rip him, but now that he's been gone what we're left with is pure milquetoast mediocrity.Sir Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043472715619751309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-49762480294251278532016-08-26T22:40:27.615-07:002016-08-26T22:40:27.615-07:005 more years for AM radio to continue its ride aro...5 more years for AM radio to continue its ride around the swirling toilet vortex, fewer listeners, more noise, and oblivion looming closer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-79084330881414721462016-08-26T18:18:15.279-07:002016-08-26T18:18:15.279-07:00Who listens to the Warriors on the radio?

Again, he is the absolute worst radio host I've heard, and quite frankly, he also sucks as a broadcaster on TV. When the games were moved to ESPN/ABC it was a needed relief from that guy. I often watched the games muted, or with KNBR on, even though they never were in sync.<br /><br />So...will KNBR finally cut bait from that no-talent?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-43645932254828353252016-08-26T12:14:23.985-07:002016-08-26T12:14:23.985-07:00I think 95.7 is a bit of a gamble, for coverage re...I think 95.7 is a bit of a gamble, for coverage reasons. On my commute home 95.7 coverage on 101 in Marin is okay, by the time you reach Sonoma County it is degrading as you go north to Santa Rosa. Probably in the heart of the Bay Area it's not an issue, but in the outer reaches (north bay and over the hill in the east bay) it will likely be a problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-47588582918724846572016-08-26T10:50:28.954-07:002016-08-26T10:50:28.954-07:00Can't argue with 2:10pm.

I'm curious does anyone know the rough revenue numbers that the Game is delivering? <br /><br />As far as the East Bay and South Bay signals, KRTY and KUIC will also be broadcasting the Warrior games. So Concord/East Bay or South Bay signals may not be the issue. <br /><br />Also in a few years, we may see a better Bay Area radio ownership landscape and "The Game" maybe elsewhere on the SF dial since Entercom wants a seat at the major broadcasters table across the country.<br /><br />And where is the streaming revenue and listenership in this scenario? I assume that is rapidly growing.Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251602917902597134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-25116787361335237102016-08-25T20:58:07.091-07:002016-08-25T20:58:07.091-07:00Agreed.
