John was in for Pat this past Sunday, and just announced he will be sitting in for Pat both Saturday and Sunday this week end. Pat also had him on as a guest last night for 2 hours I think. It seems clear that John will have a strong presence on KGO for at least the next several month. I would prefer he got the evening hours and Pat kept her week end hours, but anyway they find a permanent spot for John is fine with me. I'm not part of the "I hate Ronn" crowd, nor am I part of the "I love Ronn" I like him sometimes he has a really good show, most of his shows are fine, having said that, it is obvious that Ronn is having serious health problems, even though since his procedure last summer he got better, it seems lately there is just one thing after another, or his voice and concentration is off. I think his contract is up within the next 3 to 6 months, so perhaps John would be a good fit for that slot. His politics are a little more to the left than Ronn, but not as far left as Pat's. I just hope to hear him on a regular basis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-31598136462258338142016-08-24T20:39:09.638-07:002016-08-24T20:39:09.638-07:00I have been listening to Pat Thurston since she wa...I have been listening to Pat Thurston since she was on KPIX back in 1995. I was very happy when she began broadcasting on KGO several years ago. She is the only talk show host I listen to. <br /><br />I like what KGO has been doing: Pat fills in for any host between 10 AM and 4 PM and John is on between 7 PM and 10 PM. If Pat doesn't substitute, she takes the 7 PM to 10 PM hours. <br /><br />KGO should give John Pat's weekend hours.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-30007969854293297942016-08-24T00:04:31.602-07:002016-08-24T00:04:31.602-07:00I'm usually in favor of thinking outside the b...I'm usually in favor of thinking outside the box, not sure about in this case. Although considering what the powers to be has done in terms of programming, I suppose finding a permanent spot for John Rothmann might actually be "outside" the box. Please no more syndicated show, some of them are okay, others are really good, but we really need a local host that has his/her finger on the pulse. As far as I'm concerned that is John Rothmann.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-23820647214838173452016-08-23T14:10:09.546-07:002016-08-23T14:10:09.546-07:00KGO should step outside the market and at least ta...KGO should step outside the market and at least take a look around, see who's out there. Doesn't mean they bring in an outsider to the Bay Area but the proverbial 'thinking outside the box' often nets positive results. This isn't a knock on either Pat or John. Simply, SF is market #4 and that alone commands attention. Put the evening up for grabs and see who bites. Do some on-air testing. It won't be the first time a heritage station in a major market did that. Allow listeners to weigh in. No, a decision won't be left to them but wouldn't it be an amazing thing for a station to serve the listeners they're allegedly serving. Admittedly, radio is looking for sure things and that often constricts creativity in hiring. But for a station that has initiated a good deal of change, stepping in line and going safe doesn't seem prudent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-47760000741608704072016-08-22T22:24:07.768-07:002016-08-22T22:24:07.768-07:00It is a shallow minded world indeed.

The times I have listened to Brian the past few weeks, he has talked politics, which does not always mean race, he has talked education and similar issues, he has had motivational speakers on, he has interviewed the Mayor of Oakland, and today he had Eric Swalwell on (not sure of the spelling, but he is a local congress man) plus other issues escapes me now, how is that a one trick pony??? Same with John he has tackled PG&E issue, he had a fun our about "what do you miss from San Francisco from long time ago, fifties, sixties etc) he talked about the Zitka virus, and other subject, either you are not listening at the right time, or you are so bias you only hear what you want to hear. Besides that, like someone pointed out on this blog, most people who listens to talk radio are kind of political fanatics. What does Hannity, Levin and Rush talk about?

Had Cumulus played their cards right, they could have kept the old staff like Dr. Bill and Ray that you mention, doing this by scaling back the contracts upon renewal. If they maintain a level of compensation commensurate with other groups at renewal time, they would have been reasonable options. Instead, they just axe the entire winning team, thinking that years of loyal followings don't matter. For some reason, they did exactly what I mentioned above with Ronn. I just can't understand why they didn't do it with the rest of the staff. Ronn must have been the token "kept guy". CBS has done a good job with this. They have lost a few good people along the way when they lowballed just a little too much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-86965391833036858262016-08-20T10:35:52.207-07:002016-08-20T10:35:52.207-07:00Really, what a question to ask, also Pat's tri...Really, what a question to ask, also Pat's triplets just turned 13 they hardly need babysitters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-55900826295244421012016-08-20T10:31:46.508-07:002016-08-20T10:31:46.508-07:00That would be fine, but please find a spot for Joh...That would be fine, but please find a spot for John Rothmann as well. I won't miss Ethan or Chip at all, I like John Batchelor at times, he is on a lot of hours, so even if John gets 10 to 1 late night as he use to, they could put John on 1 to 4 a.m. his show isn't live anyway. For selfish reasons I would like John on from 10 p.m. to 1 p.m. I work retail and often don't get off until after 9 p.m. and I have more than an hour commute, so that would be perfect. Since Alan Colmes departed the Bay Area I'm stuck with John Batheclor and Glenn Beck and George Nouri (whom I don't listen to) after 10 p.m.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-90126390878098753402016-08-20T09:44:20.831-07:002016-08-20T09:44:20.831-07:00" if you like history and politics John is it..." if you like history and politics John is it, if you don't in my mind you are shallow."<br /><br />It's a "shallow-minded" world then.
