Is Rush, Savage and Levin far too right wing, is Hannity to superficial? Or Huckabee too religious? There should be room for all points of view, and since talk radio is dominated by right wing hosts, shouldn't there be someone who can balance that out. I think Gil should go, as well as Sussman and a few other, not because of their politics, but because of their boring show. I don't like Rush, Levin or many other right wing talk radio, but I would never suggest they should not have a show. I would like it if their ratings went south, because it would mean not enough people and listen to their garbage, but that really is not the issue here. I listen to Tom Sullivan and Armstrong and Getty even though often I don't agree with them. Are would like 5:11 to respond to this blog, it sounds like you only want people on the radio who you agree with?

I was a KGO daily listener from 1975 to its demise at the hands of a new careless owner.<br /><br />About 6 months ago I was waiting in the car for my wife and dialed up 810 just to see what was happening. Ronn was on and was talking and talking and talking. No callers. And, to me, it was obvious that he had lost the old joie de vivre that once his voice transmitted. His delivery and enthusiasm were "flat." I could only listen about 20 minutes before my sadness compelled me to turn off the radio.<br /><br />Mr. Owens does not own KGO. He does not manage it. He exercises no controll over its operation. Why call him a turncoat? He is doing a job in an atmosphere which must be stifling, at best. He sees other employees working their asses off trying to make something out a news operation. Hard work. Dedication. No results. Just college station ratings and sketchy advertisers. <br /><br />It was naive of Ronn to think that "Up to 30" would not attract critics of KGO. That's as far as I will go in criticizing him. I feel pity, not anger.<br /><br />As for Cumulus. They bought the station. They own it. They operate it. They broke it. But, most importantly, they will NEVER admit it. And they will never FIX it.

And I bet very few of you have worked in broadcasting for that many years. Cumulus is unfortunately a sign of the times, and if you want to stay in radio today, you have to work for companies such as Cumulus, Infinity, Clear Channel and others, who put profit ahead of loyalty. But to continually rip Owens is really getting tiresome. I take the guy for his entire body of work over 38 years at KGO, and he has nothing to be ashamed of, by and large, for his body of work. You yourself Rich, were always worshipping the guy back in the day, and now you're his greatest detractor. Why don't you grow up and take some responsibility yourself for some of the stupid mistakes you've made in your life, rather than constantly ripping Mr Owens? Yes, perhaps Owens could have handled things better, but I doubt that any of you who are posting would have handled it that much differently, It's not a good idea to throw stones if you live in a glass house, is it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-76268307370464818052013-11-26T18:53:08.365-08:002013-11-26T18:53:08.365-08:00Haven't listened to KGO since the massacre.
