Savage, Levin, Hannity, Rush, Glenn Beck, Tom Sullivan (although I like him) Sussman, Spencer Hughes (like some of his show, when he don't talk politics) Ethan Bearman is no Barbara Simpson, but he definitely has a conservative bent. Ronn is in the middle, although socially very liberal. I just don't get why conservatives who has so many choices of hosts (there are others as well that I haven't mentioned) can't stand that a few liberal hosts are on in the Bay Area, just don't listen and turn the dial to some of the hosts that share your conservative outlook. Let us who are liberal have a few hosts we can listen to, I don't mind a conservative host, but most of them always insult anyone who is just a little bit to the left of them, I don't get entertained by getting insulted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-26348342993473835982014-05-20T14:49:31.782-07:002014-05-20T14:49:31.782-07:00If Progressive hosts had a quality product, it wou...If Progressive hosts had a quality product, it wouldn't matter who was first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-70353629320492577842014-05-20T14:45:56.767-07:002014-05-20T14:45:56.767-07:00How about every TV network and every cable news ne...How about every TV network and every cable news network, except for one in addition to KQED and KAWL and nearly every large-city daily paper in America as well as the news magazines.

KGO was mostly progressive/centrist radio. Cumulus killed it. Green 960 was mostly progressive. Clear Channel killed it. KPOJ in Portland? Clear Channel killed it. KKZN in Denver? Clear Channel killed it (granted, the ratings looked pretty horrid, but I bet they still made okay money). Liberal talk stations are going away. And I don't think it usually has anything to do with ratings. These conservative conglomerates just don't want liberals on the air. That's really how it comes off. If you have evidence that proves the contrary, I'd love to see it.Radio Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870156340429604378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-29206436016537045932014-05-20T07:15:50.301-07:002014-05-20T07:15:50.301-07:00Progressive talk was always second to conservative...Progressive talk was always second to conservative talk because, in essence, conservatives got a head start. I will guarantee you that Thom Hartmann, Norman Goldman, etc. make good money on the radio (I'm rather sure they wouldn't do it otherwise). And again, I don't understand how right-wing radio makes any money here at all. It's a VERY progressive region. Here's what I will say, though, about the difference between progressive radio and conservative radio:<br /><br />Progressive hosts have a tendency to point out facts and reason through what they're saying. If someone challenges them, they can usually defend themselves reasonably and civilly. They just talk about the issues.<br /><br />Conservative hosts, on the other hand, just have a yelling party on the airwaves. If they mention "facts", they are often twisted and blurred. If someone challenges them, or merely disagrees with them, they resort to name-calling and frankly being a jerk (there is no better way to describe this). Despite it being called "entertainment" by the industry (meaning it's apparently not supposed to be relied on as news), people think this stuff is accurate when they hear it. It's anything BUT accurate most of the time. <br /><br />So anyone that thinks right-wing radio is entertaining or enjoyable or a big draw has ZERO interest in accurate facts and civil political discourse. Go on, listen to someone that you will never disagree with. But be warned - this can psychologically lead to more extreme views in yourself, and the other side is still out there, loud and proud.Radio Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870156340429604378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-31393497957844154052014-05-20T07:03:33.694-07:002014-05-20T07:03:33.694-07:00KQED and KAWL are insufficient.

KGO was on top of the ratings, or very close, right up until their format change, and then they tanked. Almost no one on the station was conservative, so conservative talk is not required to make money in this area. In fact, I'm surprised it makes money at all. Everyone I know thinks Limbaugh, etc. are ridiculous and irritating.Radio Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870156340429604378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-74292256851976919502014-05-19T23:48:08.505-07:002014-05-19T23:48:08.505-07:00My preference would be Bill Press, Thom Hartmann p...My preference would be Bill Press, Thom Hartmann perhaps Clark Howard.

In that case should they bring back Rothmann, you don't have to listen, turn the dial and listen to Frosty, Gil, Savage, Sussman, Hannity etc. etc. and to 7:02. No, not everyone in the Bay Area are liberal, in case you are not you have plenty of hosts and stations to listen to I get the feeling you don't know so let me enlighten you 560 KSFO Sussman, Spencer Hughes, Savage, and Levin, this is from 9 a.m to 6 p.m, then John Batchlor comes on, he is conservative, but reasonable and does a lot of show about foreign policies. If these suggestions are not enough turn to 960 a.m. and you have Rush, Hannity, some dufus named Andy Dick and at 7 p,m, Tom Sullivan he although to the right of me, I like, so if KGO decides to go mostly liberal, I don't see how you can begrudge us liberals a few hours of a host, you conservatives have plenty of choices, and oh yeas I forgot Armstrong and Getty, and also Dr. Bill Wattenberg.
