Sussman and Green Act Irresponsible on KSFO Morning Show; Speculation on Nia Wilson Murder Case as Possible 'Gang Hit' Shows No Respect for Victim and Family (AUDIO)

Brian Sussman and Katie Green

YOU'VE ALL BY NOW HEARD about the senseless murder of an 18 year-old woman at the MacArthur  BART station Sunday night.

Nia Wilson was stabbed to death and her sister was also attacked but survived.

A suspect was apprehended days later.

On their KSFO Morning Show on Tuesday , Brian Sussman and Katie Green act irresponsible and become home-grown detectives --as if they're experts and clearly they're not.

In the show's second hour, Sussman talks about the incident and says "there's more to this" and makes light of what he calls "gang pictures" of Ms. Wilson, the young lady who essentially bled to death.

(AUDIO) At around 14: 45 of the tape, (SECOND HOUR 6AM) you can hear both Sussman and Green insinuate that maybe Green was an intended target because of her "gang signs on social media"; this despite police saying the stabbing appeared that of a random attack by some nutjob who has a lengthy rap sheet. (I'm not using his name)

Nia Wilson

The discussion; the rambling by Sussman and Green show a total disregard for Nia Wilson and her grief-stricken family, at best. At worse, the armchair analysis insinuates that perhaps because she's seen in pictures with a cell phone case that looks like a gun, maybe she (Wilson) had it coming. That's clearly inferred in the tape. Just listen and by the way, several e-mails from readers suggest the same conclusion.

I asked a lawyer about this on-air hijinks and he said if the Wilson family listens to this that they'd have a "great" case against KSFO and Cumulus. Sussman should know better. An 18 year-old stabbing victim hasn't even been buried and he conducts this crap-fest on the radio.

Melanie Morgan's Creative Displeasures with KSFO Morning Players Led To Departure; 415 Media Exclusive

We all know why Melanie Morgan has split from KSFO.

You read it here first.

Morgan's abrupt departure from the station has been brewing for months and eventually got to a point where the Bay Area radio/TV veteran was ready to leave. A source close to Morgan said it was a combination of both professional and personal reasons.

The source indicated to me that Morgan had no personal animosity toward traffic reporter, Katie Green; in fact, Morgan has mentored many younger female personalities in the biz. Clearly, though it was well known that Morgan felt that Green was over her head and was misplaced in her increasing role on the program.

Morgan, according to the source, was not as impressed with Brian Sussman. The Morning Show had become a "morning zoo" lately and much of its antics; the ludicrous-sounding "app of the day", the hideous "hang up on myself" bit which has turned off many listeners came directly from Sussman. Moreover, it was Sussman who began to take over the program and in essence, push Morgan out the door. Morgan was not happy and missed most of last week and began working diligently with her agent to leave the program.

Morgan clearly was unhappy with the show's direction and it was that aspect that hastened her decision to get out of dodge. The ratings seem to indicate she picked the right time.

Morgan and her reps have negotiated an "out" clause with KSFO. It remains to be seen if KSFO adds a partner for Sussman, but clearly Green's future, (and possibly Sussman too), will be evaluated given this move.

Morgan is said to be going on a long vacation and don't be surprised if she is picked up by another station in the market.
