At the beginning of 2014, Clear Channel moved Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity to their then Liberal Talk stations in Los Angeles and San Francisco and rebranded them as Conservative Talk “The Patriot“
The San Francisco version won’t make it past nine months. Cumulus Media has announced that the trio of shows will move from “960 The Patriot” KNEW San Francisco to their 560 KSFO on Monday, September 28. KSFO was Limbaugh’s longtime affiliate in San Francisco until Clear Channel moved him first to 910 in January 2012 and later 960.
While Rush will stay in his live 9am-12pm timeslot replacing the exiting Spencer Hughes, both Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity will lose their live clearances with the move as they will air 9pm-12am and 6-9pm respectively on KSFO.960 KNEW gives up on Conservative Talk after registering just a 0.5 share in the August 2014 Nielsen Audio PPM ratings. KSFO fared better with a 1.7 share. What’s next for 960? Back in July, it was reported that Bloomberg was planning to launch a Business/Tech news station in San Francisco. The company currently leases 1200 WXKS Boston from Clear Channel and it wouldn’t be much of a stretch to see that partnership expand to another market.
Beck should have his own drama channel between Oprah and Lifetime.
Spencer Hughes.is alive...?
Ugh. Had enough of beanie babies...
Beck should have his own drama channel between Oprah and Lifetime.
He does. It’s called BlazeTV. On DISH 212.
Lots of head scratching at Clear Channel, wondering why people aren’t flocking to the station that used to be the local Air America affiliate.
The channel Limbaugh is now on doesn’t come in as clear in my area as when he was on 640. It gets even worse once I pull into my garage.
I live in Long Beach, and I’ve experienced the same thing with the new station. I don’t listen much anymore :(
Bloomberg’s business news station in New York is one of the most boring radio formats ever.
