Dickey brothers lied to Wattenburg; more KGO Radio fodder

This was told to me by a current KGO Radio staffer:

Shortly after buying KGO, Cumulus' honchos, the Dickey brothers rounded up a majority of the station's noted on-air talent including nearly all the talk hosts, reporters and producers.

It was a rally-the-troops gathering, or so they all thought.

Lou Dickey, in particular, looked weekend talkie, Bill Wattenburg, in the eye and said, (I'm paraphrasing), "Dr Wattenburg, I have listened to you almost every night since my Stanford days. I 'love your show! You're not going anywhere."

Wattenburg was one of the talk hosts fired last Thursday.
