I meant of course KKSF 910 should give John Rothman a permanent spot, I doubt KGO would hire him back, and hopefully if they did he would have too much pride to go back.<br />I think we need to be patient with 910 am, they have made a lot of changes, and I'm sure they can't totally change programming just like that. However, I'm disappointed that they just did a week of "Best of Armstrong and Getty" when they were off, after earlier having John, Gil and others on. Perhaps A&G does not like others filling in for them. I for one don't care for best of, usually I have already heard the show, or they are discussing old news, so I don't listen, which I e-mailed 910/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-61381042719325475842012-08-11T21:27:55.666-07:002012-08-11T21:27:55.666-07:00Great pick by Romney.

What business wizards!! Go into successful businesses and drag them down into failures with your new business model. The egos of these uber-rich upper-management bastards have their intellect overpowered by about one hundred to one!<br /><br />I suggest that CMLS management take their collective business management knowledge base and apply it to the organic fertilizer industry.

I like other readers of this blog would have preferred him over Gil, or a compromise Gill 2 days John 3 days, I know that usually isen't done, but I think it would have been better than 5 days of Gil, since we can't have Gene Burns. Does anyone know who had better rating at KGO John R or Gil? Every John Rothman fan should keep on asking KGO to give John a show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
