Mickey put KGO on the map and made it the top talk station in the nation by attracting the spectrum of talent that we enjoyed. Thus, I have been waiting and hoping to hear this news knowing that Mickey is the one genius that could possibly rectify this horrendous turn of events and give us back the station we have loved for so long--me since I was 11 years old. Go, Mickey! Perform your magic--we need a little right now-we need you. Your leaving KGO was instantly felt by me-and ultimately all of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-60717904114550787132011-12-21T06:25:02.676-08:002011-12-21T06:25:02.676-08:00Is the next Occupy KGO rally Dec 30, 5:00, at 900 ...Is the next Occupy KGO rally Dec 30, 5:00, at 900 Front St?

When the out of town (and out of touch) "suits" take a great notion to buy and ,then, to change the operation of a station in a local market NOTHING will dissuade them! Not the pleas of the listeners, not the longevity nor the loyalty of the staff, not the simple knowledge that "fine-tuning", not destruction, is the probable solution to the problems at hand. And, one year down the road,the ratings will be in the toilet, revenues will be way down, a great staff will be scattered to other market winds and a once-proud, and proven Radio station will be forgotten or, at best, little remembered.

He is even worse than Cumulus! With Cumulus everyone pretty much knew what to expect, but Bernie was a fraud. I never liked the guy anyways because God forbid you disagree with him he could never have an intelligent debate about it (same thing with Pat Thurston and Christine Craft, the female versions of Bernie). Oh yea speaking about God, he was doing a show called God Talk? Give me an F'n break. As shitty as I think Ronn has handled this at least he's not a pervert like Bernie.

Same with Dr. Bill, who is now 72 or 73 (with several very young children). This will sound dopey ... buit at one time we had village elders, cranky uncles, and knowledgeable neighbors. I think that talk radio has filled that void.<br /><br />And per Luckoff, Rothman, Dr. Bill, et al ... and money they might be able to invest in such a venture... they can't take it ($$$) with them!!! That's why you see Larry Ellison spending $100 Million on a boat ... it's his passion, and he won't be able to enjoy those $$$ when he's 82 in a rest home.<br /><br />P.S. How about a crazy idea... instead of retreads like Christine Craft or Bernie (no way, never), ... why not cherry pick well-spoken callers for radio tryouts?
