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.

Uh, The New Dicks on 95.7 FM/The Game's New Morning Show Talked About Their Dicks Thursday Morning

 What a genius Program Director over at the all-sports 95.7 FM, (The Game)--he recently hired his 27,000th new morning show. It doesn't matter what their names are because the show is terrible. I'm being kind.

I tried to listen. Really, I did. This, (Thursday), morning the new boy wonders had a bit: they spent about five minutes talking about measuring their penis with a ruler.

Ha ha.

Shit, what talent. And here I thought these guys were dicks. (They are, but anyway.)

Well, they're confirming one thing: what a bunch of dicks. New Dicks. The New Sound for Sports? God help us all.

Refreshing Woodson Takes Over KNBR Morning Show; Good Radio; Monday Starter

 Out of the blue a complete surprise took place on the KNBR morning airwaves Monday: Ray Woodson filled in for the morning frat boys, "Murph and Mac", who, I guess, took the day off.

Those of you that think morning radio has to be morning zoo review got a break Monday. Woodson is not morning zoo; he doesn't have to resort to cheap sound effects nor manufacture any phony "bits." In fact, the idea of intelligent and creative radio without the barrage of audio histrionics is a newfound concept. Thankfully, Woodson didn't get the memo.

Woodson is: a funny, clever, irreverent sense of humor- guy with an innate ability to guide the ship and not run aground. He's probably not wacky enough to host the morning show, any morning show for that matter but his performance Monday was refreshing. Refreshing talk, normal dialogue and compelling enough CONVERSATION with Ted Robinson, for example. How nice to hear and relax without the mind-gutting, un-authentic pile of crap we're accustomed to from the frat boys.

Breaking: Melanie Morgan Leaving KSFO Morning Show; 415 Media Exclusive

MELANIE MORGAN LEAVING KSFO

Melanie Morgan is leaving KSFO and is in the midst of negotiating an "out" from her contract, according to a reliable broadcast source.

Morgan was absent from her Morning Show duties virtually all of last week and on Monday. Her absence was never mentioned by co-host, Brian Sussman nor traffic reporter, Katie Green.

A veteran broadcast source told me that Morgan was unhappy with relations between her on-air partners and was especially displeased and upset about the direction of the conservative-oriented program. Morgan, according to the source, felt out of place and "ganged up." She was especially peeved about the added on-air presence of Green, the younger traffic reporter who has been more noticeable of late; she has been doing news and features in addition to her traffic duties.

Morgan was co-host of the Lee Rodgers-Melanie Morgan Show in the mid-nineties and also served as a reporter for KGO Radio and KGO-TV. She returned to KSFO to pair with Sussman in January, 2012.

Attempts to reach Morgan were unsuccessful.

It is not known if a replacement for Morgan is in the works.
