They did the last one under Citadel. The last two they did were both $8.10. They used to be free but the last two were paid tickets. <br /><br />The Cure A Thon was dropped by Mickey Luckoff after the 30th annual one. Luckoff thought 30 years was a nice round number to end them. The Luekemia society was aware that that would be the last one so were all of the employees who had worked on them. With his impending retirement and the change of ownership from Disney to Citadel, Luckoff wanted the Leukemia society to know as early as possible to not be blindsided last minute.<br /><br />The Cure A Thon was replaced the following year with a charity program for Bay Area Food Banks under the new GM Deidra Lieberman. That is what they are doing moving forward. <br /><br />The Thanksgiving Charities Drive was started years ago by Bernie Ward and slowly lost steam and donations since he went up the river. Two years ago Cumulus thought two major charity drives a year were too much and did away with Thanksgiving Charities the way we knew it. <br /><br />Hope that clears things up for you from someone in the know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-30460063245615316402014-05-15T17:57:18.443-07:002014-05-15T17:57:18.443-07:00The debate will not be same without Gene Burns, Ra...The debate will not be same without Gene Burns, Ray and Bernie.

I know, he's not a dynamic, front line talent, but you and the posters are constantly ripping the guy, and recently you took a shot at his daughter who is doing some sort of media internship.

The old KGO use to do all star debates fairly regularly, they also did leukemia cure throng, and the Thanksgiving charities.<br />I notice the new KGO is doing something with the food bank. Is it possible that after 21/2 years of the new KGO and declining ratings, the management is coming to the realization that a radio station that has a presence in the community foster loyalty from listeners. As for an all star debate with the current hosts, yes it will be a light weight, since there are few heavy weight intellectuals left on the station. Pat Thurston can hold her own, as can Ronn (like him or not, he is not a dummy) Matt Ray might be out of his legue, Brian can debate he is often on Dr. Drew. Karel will talk over everyone, it could be interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-88258817807031304422014-05-15T09:04:34.930-07:002014-05-15T09:04:34.930-07:00That will indeed take some time to procure.
