My Issues with KNBR of Which Are Numerous

24 comments:

  1. Must I listen to all 33 minutes to find out why the graphic says "KBNR?"

  2. At least I can listen to it? Who was the genius that thought putting today's Giants v Dodgers game on Roku was a good idea? Greedy Ass-wipes!

    1. The decision to put the Sunday Giants - Dodgers game on Roku was made by MLB. DO YOUR RESEARCH!

    2. 5:41.Not smart. Ever watch Quickpitch and see the sparsely attended games? Trying to pimp another streaming service to an already diminished fan base, tired of being MLB's ATM is not how you go about it numbnuts!

    3. So, thank a dumb ass millennial for MLB's decision right?

  3. KNBR was once great. Now it sounds like a college station. Such a huge waste for a station that can be reached by all parts of CA.

  4. I understand your post. You might want to look on Youtube videos of the people were fired by KNBR and formed their own channel. You can view it when you have time and comment. There are apart of the Bay Area Media just not on radio. You can compare and contrast to Youtube and what they did at KNBR.

    1. I respectfully don’t know about your suggestion. Rich might also then compare their YouTube subscribers’/followers’ numbers to his. He was very critical of those folks, right?

  5. Knbr sounds like an informercial paid programming. Bland boring with fake phone in guest. At least Ralph lived in San Francisco unlike the Marin county fool Murph who pretends he knows the City. Couldn’t even find the Excelsior if his life depended on it. Fake fraud likes to pretend he knows about Kezar and the Stick. Stay in Marin with the rest of the phonies.

    2. 7:04 & 10:52. Okay? Both of you idiots listen up! All of this "Marin" crap started around 1977 with Cyra McFadden's book 'Serial". Self awareness shit like EST satirized the yuppie progressives of that time. It mocked them and showed the self indulgence and lunacy of the affluent tripping over their own ego's. Sound like Marin today? Of course. Why? Stupid ass Easterners came West and viewed this as the norm and made it Valhalla. Most of my demographic of this time either died off, never was part of this idiocy. Marin became the microcosm for this attitude and fake bullshit, perpetuated by stupid people and the media. Well into my 60's, born and raised here and always considered the "Marin Scene", nothing more than a bunch of pathetically weak losers who had to gravitate towards their ilk for survival and validation. It's all bullshit! You want to keep huffing the hookah? Knock yourself out. Oh, yeah. Barbierie lived in Novato. Used to see him all the time at the Safeway in ignacio, which is now a Nugget Market. Murphy is a putz and a fake ass wimp! The tough guy he is not, just a loud mouth.

  6. In my travels I've listened to sports talk in Seattle, Denver, LA, San Diego, Chicago and Dallas. KNBR doesn't come close to those stations. KNBR hosts (see Copie) talk too fast and giggle too much.

  7. The "Golden Days" of KNBR were with Gary Radnich, Pete Franklin (The Best), "The Razor" Ralph Barbieri & Sports Phone 68 before Bobby Fitz. Now it sounds like college radio with clowns like Kopie Copes, Marcus (I'll work for a bag of peanuts with zero insightful takes), Greg Pap & Mike Silver's son. Nepotism radio! Dieter Kirtenbach tries with Sports Phone 68 but it's nothing you have to tune in for after a Giants games. Talk about a sinking radio ship. Papa is bizarre & just a weird dude. Talk about Dirty Work.

  8. KNBR is a waste of 50,000 watts. I haven't listened to KNBR in more than 10 years. Not worth it. I get my sports news from satellite radio. If it's 49ers games, I'll listen to the opponent's radio feed. Anything but Gregory and ManBun.

  9. I gave up KNBR after they subjected us to years of Paulie Mac and John Lund. I figured if they didn't care about their product, why should I.

  10. Or the worst one on KNBR Rod Brooks how he lasted so long with no talent and short life as sideline reporter for 49ers. What happened as I recall he did not a full season?

  11. Rod Brooks lol he did not get a job at 95.7 like other KNBR staff.

  12. KNBR should have kept Fitgerald unless he made too much$$ better than what’s on the air.

  13. Imagine being a pd at a station in another market getting a tape and resume from a current KNBR host? How fast does that drek go into File 13?

  14. Ralph did live in the city but eventually moved to Novato. Used to hate the Blue Angels when they flew over his place in SF because it upset Sunshine his cat. And Murf is a soft liberal clown living in Marin.

  15. When you employ Carlos The Suck Ramirez even PT l, you reap what you sow.
