I don't think much of Karel, straight, gay, whatever...he's really old news and boring. If KGO indeed has re-hired this hack, then they really are desperate.
Keep trying for that "young demo" KGO, yeah, sort of like the old 70 year-old guy trying to get a 35 year-old gf.
Gosh.

**From a radio insider, formerly a PD at a local station that has been up and down the LA/SF/San Diego circuit:
"Swanson, (KGO Opps Mgr) has to be outta his mind--this is a 'hail Mary move."
In reality, as I said before, this is really a desperation move by a once-mighty station that continues down the road of irrelevance on a daily basis.
Karel is a bore. He's the same predictable schlock show night in and night out. His openly-gay status doesn't mean a hill of beans to me. I could care less. He's just a hired hack who hasn't had an original idea in years. And his political rants are repetetive. BORING? Hell yes.
What, KGO? Was Peter B. Collins too expensive? What about Christine Craft? KGO is a farce and this latest move only confirms that.
