76. Mr. pig & I were flummoxed by what happened to KGO
Fri Nov 9, 2012, 02:09 AM
Nov 2012

It used to be our default station until Quake/Green/KNEW came on the scene (and even they're now running Beck, etc. in the morning).

KGO ruled the West Coast with 50,000 watts for decades under Mickey Luckoff (Ronn Owens notwithstanding - whatever happened to him after 911 anyway?). Then Disney followed by Clear Channel and the descent into madness.

I used to be able to set my watch (when I wore one) by KGO hosts. The wholesale dumping of their talent was weird. I understand Owens stayed only because he had an iron-clad contract for a couple of years.

So sad. I used to drive to work, fix my dinner, do my laundry listening to KGO and right now they're dead to me.

Another comment - Mr. pig and I noticed the decline in sponsorship quality over the years. Used to be a lot of local businesses and then devolved into how to sell gold, buy some questionable insurance, or get products to help your love life.

I haven't sampled their sister station, KSFO, where some of the talent reportedly fled. Have you?

I was feeling kind of warm & cuddly, and then Mike had to play Pigman spiderpig Nov 2012 #45
I was going to ask what Pigman is, but then decided I didn't want to know ailsagirl Nov 2012 #56
Pigman is (glug) Rush Limbaugh spiderpig Nov 2012 #57
I get it-- I thought Pigman was a game, not a person ailsagirl Nov 2012 #67
Mike always calls him Pigman, although I find it an insult to pigs spiderpig Nov 2012 #68
