JIM EASON, late of KGO and KSFO Radio speaking via my e-mail line...
I couldn't be happier to be OUT of talk radio, and especially OUT of KGO and KSFO.
Someone sent me an email recently, pointing out that I came into Bay Area radio just as
"talk shows" were getting very popular -- and I went out of Bay Area radio just as the "talk shows" were going down the tubes.
It took a few weeks to get out of the habit of listening to talk shows, reading papers and magazines, and watching TV news...but I broke that habit. I read books that I WANT to read, watch old movies, and spend a lot of time listening to music. No news, no talk, and I couldn't be happier. After 30-plus years of talking, listening, and fighting with idiots who ran radio stations without any knowledge or talent or intelligence.
Maybe there is a future in MUSIC radio....but talk is dead.
