IF I DON'T SAY, HAPPY NEW YEAR, I'll feel sort of sacrilegious, so I'll do the best here and just say, hi, happy you all made it through the night and welcome 2021, good blackjack number and if I were playing, I'd zero in there...
*YEAH, KGO Radio went to a "Best of" format on Thursday because you know, there's really no news going on (wink) and everyone really doesn't is in the festive (wink) spirit. Sorry, I can't buy that. Rothmann would have worked NYE night and would have done a magnificent broadcast to boot. Instead, we get repeat, taped programming and it sounds like crap. There is no old KGO, just a tired, unoriginal hodgepodge of manufactured doo-doo they put out yesterday, today and the weekend. No there there. Sad and deplorable at the same time, a major-market station goes into MIA mode and essentially goes off the air --leaving the Bay Area radio masses to have to listen to KCBS and its 12 thousand repeats and traffic reports and weather.
How pathetic.
Pat was live all morning and I heard an ABC year-end special around 2pm. There was live news and traffic all day. Only Mark, Chip, and John were best-of. Why don’t you call the PD and ask him why he gives staff the day off? His phone number is on the website. It truly is the end of the world!
ReplyDeleteThe best KGO New Year tradition was Taliafero’s all night jazz fest, often with actual musicians in studio to talk to Ray. KGO should give us a treat and rebroadcast on NYE
ReplyDeleteKGO should give us a NYE treat and rebroadcast some of Taliafero’s NYE overnight jazzfests
ReplyDeletetaking people to a restaurant during a pandemic....is stupid at best
ReplyDeleteI am no longer able to get KRON. What did they do for NYE? Have Grant Loder and whatsherface stand on the roof of a building and look down on empty streets? Have Darya dance on the news desk topless?
ReplyDeleteWow...All it takes is $2 "rabbit ears" type of VHF antenna to pick that station up...easy.
Deletei thought JR would take everyone to cal mart for the delicious turkey sandwiches.and yes can they ever dump the sappy opening theme song...
ReplyDeleteDid you see what KRON4 did on New Years Day....that DUMMY station broadcast previous years Rose Parades from early morning until 2:00 PM...WHAT a LOOSER STATION!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm fine w/reruns on New Year's Eve....because who the hell listens to local news/talk radio that night?
ReplyDeleteThree things this world will never see again! 1 Your doctor puffing on a cigarette while he examines you 2 firemen "riding the step" 3 The old KGO of Pre 2011! The Issue with AM Talk is no new listeners! Take this into consideration, in the 2011 KGO purge a 10 Year old was not tuning into KGO Now 10 years later that 20 year old is still not tuning in to KGO or most other AM formats. Same goes for AM Conservative Talk! The day we wake up to news The Rush Limbaugh has died AM Conservative talk will instantly loose at lest half it's listeners! At the end of the day if your currant audience is dying off and your not building a new one your entertainment medium is doomed!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone here know the difference between lose/loser and loose/looser?
ReplyDeleteOf course NPR wants to come to SF. Don't make any mistake, these morons, (Democrats) are proud of what they have done to SF. They want you to be miserable. They WANT people to die. How else can you explain someone looking around and saying to themselves "how's this all going?" And then voting for even bigger idiots. They all get exactly the government and life they deserve.
