Default Massacre at KGO

WOW! In my wildest dreams I didn't think it would be this bad. This is a huge deal. Massacre.

I am alllll for NEWS. Detailed News. Talk shows are shallow and often biased.
Talk shows have produced social retardation in our country. Detailed News/Information will produce enlightenment. It was INFORMATION that brought about the demise of Communism, it will do the same to Capitalism.

I've listened to Bill for decades and there aren't any "hosts" like him.

Ive learned far more listening to that program than I did throughout my educational "career"

I predict that he will surface somewhere else soon.

Among the casualties, Bungo, was Ray Taliaferro, one of the most idiotic leftist bigots on the radio.

wonder how the leftist drones will fare with Ray gone. The replacement seems to be middle of the road / moderate Red Eye Radio

Gay leftist Karel ("I want Joe the Pluber DEAD!") is still there.

The KSFO lineup did not change much at all. But then again, most of their lineup is syndicated. Sussman is still there, but probably not for long is my guess.

The winner? Hard to say. A&G are on Fox and they spent a minute asking their Bay Area audience to ask friends t take a listen to KNEW. But that's a Fox station and seems interested only in promoting Fox radio programs such as Beck and Gibson and even Alan Colmes.

On the bright side, Ray Taliaferro is finally off the air.

Bemused, do you really think Sussman's show will also be dumped? That Morning show was already cleaned out, I remember when they fired Rodgers and others.
Egad idf that happens there will be no more talk radio, or very few.

Is Bell still on the air? The overnight king these days is George Noory, out of Los Angeles station KFI.

With regards to the KGO lineup, I also see that white hetero male Leo LaPorte is gone, but black comedian Brian Copeland and liberal (white) woman Pat Thurston remain. I've already noted that gay white male Karel (of "I want Joe the plumber DEAD!" fame) Last name unknown is still there, and has become the shill for investment adviser Pat Fatucci. Will wonders never cease?

I miss Wattenberg, of course, and lawyer Len Tillem. Hope Brent Walters (There is NO HELL) survives.

Depends on the terms of the contract. Ronn Owens of KGO apparently has such a rich contract that he is termination-proof. Sussman? I have no idea of his terms.

Disclosure: I dont like Sussmann and dont listen to him. I DO like Bachelor, Ingraham, and Kudlow (weekend rebroadcast of his daily program?) but those folks are all syndicated. A pattern emerges.

On the business side, if some marginal station wanted to make a name and carve out a niche, there are now plenty of talented, experienced talk hosts available with little notice.

Yes the art bell show survives with a new host.

Karel's continued presence on KGO does not bode well for their "attitude"

Wattenburg had more to offer than any other three hosts on KGO put together.

My guess is that they couldnt afford to get rid of karel for the sake of P.C.

the big upside is I will never again accidently have to hear the most minute snippet of anything that Ray T. has to spew.

I'm with you on this one, brother! Taliaferro makes Bungo seem sane by comparison.....

Sincerely, KGO, a pioneer in Talk radio, had only to move more to the middle, to regain their premiere postion. Getting rid of leftist whack Ray Taliferro was a good move. Knocking off leftist Christine Kraft was a good move.

Getting rid of Wattnberg? What a mistake! Gil Gross, liberal as he is, was at least common sense. Gene Burns the libertarian turn dem? He was really common sense.

John Rothman? He leaned left, but maybe in a different environment he might have turned more fair.

Getting rid of Leo LaPorte? WTF!

Nothing at night to listen to. Who wants constant News? Get that during the day on TV.

Rothman was a Liberal as he stated but no where close to Taliferro
