Even if not every talk show host or topic held my interest, those immediate earthquake reactions were good quick entertainment. I used to say that if the world was coming to an end, I'd listen to it on KGO. But the world has ended only for them, and I quit listening when Jim Eason moved to KSFO, anyway.oneillb454@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09871027852560385711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-23767612193047576202015-07-21T22:38:56.184-07:002015-07-21T22:38:56.184-07:00It was always a source of amusement when a disting...It was always a source of amusement when a distinguished KGO host would stop discussing nuclear disarmament or the latest middle east crisis to take calls from 84 year old "Dorothy in Pinole" describing to us whether the quake was "more of a roll, a rocking up and down motion or a JOLT". When I win mega millions I'll bring back all the surviving KGO hosts. Promise!

This morning, KCBS got right to it. That may be Jack Swanson's directive, as I'm sure he recognizes that it is a vital service to "shaken" listeners ... even if it's only a matter of helping to calm nerves.<br /><br />During the Napa quake, last August, KCBS did get around to taking calls, but it was an hour, or so, after the fact. KGO stayed with their mindless drivel (from New York, or other place), for much longer than that.<br /><br />People need to hear each other, and compare experiences, after a quake. They need to hear the WHERE, and HOW BIG ... which is available only minutes after the event, now, where it used to take 30 minutes, or so.<br /><br />I agree that KCBS did a good job, today. I didn't even bother with KGO.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-25845927824906661112015-07-21T12:32:21.405-07:002015-07-21T12:32:21.405-07:00literally LOLing, thanks David! :)literally LOLing, thanks David! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-26864608859270357742015-07-21T10:25:36.950-07:002015-07-21T10:25:36.950-07:00I felt some shaking early this morning, but I thou...I felt some shaking early this morning, but I thought it was Jan Wahl getting up for a midnight snack.David Bestnoreply@blogger.com
