Betcha WCBS in New Yawk is no different. Same stupid formula. Stan Bunghole is no Al Hart for sure. Rip and read. No investigative reporting like the old days. Once in awhile, KCBS does something but there's no there there like it was even 20 years ago.<br /><br />Those little idiots at KNBR should've known NOTHING was gonna happen. Management probably feels that if they quit, some other little geeks will be around the corner waiting to take their spot. Hey, go steal the Amici's coupons. Have one big meal a day. Or double your income by picking up clothing dropped by the slobs who shop at Ross or TJ Maxx.<br /><br />Let's face it: all of the radio stations suck. Face facts.

Talk about delivery. I happen to endorse the KCBS on-air folks saying something besides the latest homicide. It humanizes the operation. I'll stand up for Stan and Susan any day. And what's your beef with the PM drive crew? Have you read Jeff Bell's book? Did you know Patti is a runner? You;re talking flesh and blood here, not robots. I do miss Hal Raney and I guess his departure adds some truth to the high salary/quick exit maneuver a la Mike Sugerman. Stan just had a birthday, I believe. I think he has a few more words left in him, so I say - deal with it.Guitar Player 575https://www.blogger.com/profile/12058636933272544611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-31940112111131353202016-06-28T17:21:05.932-07:002016-06-28T17:21:05.932-07:00Tolbert 'returning'' with new co -h...Tolbert 'returning'' with new co -host. so looks like they want to make his show more defined with a ''new'' guy.so maybe no more casual basketball dribbling ''pop a microbrew'' atmosphere of yore? will it be a ''gary and larry'' equivelant in the afternoon?

I grew up in the Bay Area and now live in San Diego and wish we had an all-news station here, although I tune in KNX from L.A. which comes in loud and powerfully clear both day and night throughout the southland. My argument for an all-news local station format really has to do with local and national news and traffic reports -- especially if you're in a car or public transportation and want to manage or get info on the freeways, surface steets, trains, etc. I know when I drive through LA, I want to know which freeways to avoid because of traffic problems so I can attempt to go another route, and KNX delivers on that. When I drive up to the Bay Area, the first station I tune in is KCBS so I know what the traffic conditions are and get some news and weather reports from the region. Hopefully KCBS will stick to this format.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-38484539555647673772016-06-28T14:37:35.353-07:002016-06-28T14:37:35.353-07:00That is true, the same as KCBS's sister KNX ...That is true, the same as KCBS's sister KNX in Los Angeles today.

Those haven't worked well at ANY of the other radio or tv outlets in the neighborhood.

Just keep doing that, and bring back Dean whats his face who was let go for sounding like a "disc jockey" last year.

These heart incision troubles hurt the radio as much as Madden's base. Since Madden went off the air in November, that's when all the KCBS criticism really began heating up for good.
