I remember when he moved from KNBR to KSFO because he kept getting bumped because of baseball games.
He's moving again? What will this do to "Hot Talk" on KSFO?

Is that old windbag still on the air?
At least I won’t have to listen to ABC News... I guess Glenn Beck is being taken off 910?
This is Clear Channel - who owns Premier Radio and the rights to Rush - exercising their rights to move Rush to their own stations. They have had the right to do this for year.
In the past, they had used their own stations for music, etc, and also made money on other stations they did not own by selling them Rush’ show. In other words, they were making money all over every market with music and with Rush.
Now with music failing - they have brought Rush to their own stations all across the country to save those stations. They did it over a year ago in dozens of markets. It is a symptom of the music format dying.
KKSF isn’t confirming it yet either.
Is this another FReeRepublic scoop?
The more local station bumps Limbaugh for women's college B-ball, as well as men's and college hockey, too. I really hate those tournaments...
Heard Bill Wattenburg was hired by a station in Santa Cruz.
One of the very few times I heard Rogers really lose his temper was when OV made a comment about Rogers' "cheesy career."
Talk had switched to OV's traffic report and cheese had been the subject of conversation -- OV often connected the two segments with (sometimes) hilarious comments. No big deal I thought.
Rogers exploded saying that he (OV) didn't have the guts to say that to his face. I don't recall that OV responded. Rogers was not kidding. He was pissed.
I thought, what the hell is Rogers talking about, OV is either sitting there or well within reach. Well he wasn't.
After a short boycott of KSFO after Rogers was dropped I started back with the morning show. I had always caught Sussman's evening show.
Well within a few days Sussman took a call from a regular who describes himself as a Communist or Marxist. Sussman started in on the guy telling how he (Sussman) was going to beat his ass. Borrrrring.
Been going on for years -- so do it already. At one time the guy suggested that they rent a place to fight and the proceeds would go to charity.
That was the last time I listened to the morning show.
Weird. Doesn’t make sense to me but I don’t own KSFO.
Who comes on after Brian then?
Wow !! This is a shocker. That is a lot of change at KGO. I like Armstrong and Getty (or I used to at least, I haven’t listened to them for a couple of years). It will be cool to have them and Limbaugh on the same station. My only objection is that the KNEW signal seems to be rather weak at times. I sometimes cannot pick them up very well in the East Bay - and for some reason the station vanishes completely when the sun sets - and I have trouble picking it up again until the sun rises the next morning (at least this is the way it was a few years ago, when I listened more often). With all of these changes, I hope it will also include a boost to KNEW’s signal strength.
I don’t see a change reflected in the scheduling for either channel.
I get it. Change doesn’t take place until January 3rd so on reason to announce.
Last time I heard 910 it was KEWB.
“Channel 91 -Color Radio”. was their tag.
KSFO Had their “The sound of the music...” Station I D.
There seems to be a big shift on. Two stations here in NYC have replaced more conservative hosts - Steve Malzberg and Joe Crummi - with former Governor David Patterson and Geraldo Rivera. This leaves Rush and Sean Hannity on one station and causing a light to shine on Fox Radio (970 AM).
Sucks for me. I listen to Rush on KSFO and the show prior as well. Oh well, guess I’ll find a new station. I listen for the show, not out of any regional interest.
From American Thinker:
I laughed so hard I almost peed the other day when this caller said 0 was creating jobs. He actually knew of one or two. Rush asked him where did they get the jobs and the guy says at the K-Mart and Target ‘factories’.
