As I've said here for many years, I believe that there has been a planned attempt to destroy conservative talk radio ever since the sale and break-up of the ABC Radio Network.

KSFO has been especially hit since the Citadel days, when CEO Farid Suleman fired the late Lee Rodgers because Rodgers was getting too pointed in his commentary regarding CAIR, Islamic Jihad, and Muslims.

Ksfo is no longer on my listen list. After the way they treated Melanie Morgan and Lee Rodgers, the station owners/managers deserve the boot.

It is interesting to see how the blog readers are still crying over how Cumulus destroyed the "call letter deficient" Bay Area radio station, but they have nothing but glee for the same happening to KSFO.

Is this the Babe in the Bunker that I used to listen to when living in the Bay Area??? She was just a person of pure Common Sense.

She sought the truth, did her homework, and was opinionated—and was able to state her opinion in concise easy way to comprehend. She was never politically correct (using Marxist talking points, when I listened).

She is “dangerous”. Can’t have the Truth, today when people can articulate the points and use Reason and examples....They can’t be allowed to burst the bubble of perceptions, that the Left has worked so hard to construct.

Truth has a ring to it. Got to shut Christians up-—those who believe in Truth and Reason and can make cogent points.

Bummer, I liked the babe in the bunker. The only good host left is Levin.

Thanks for posting. I noticed Barbara’s absence last weekend. KSFO is committing professional suicide. Looking forward to word from Barbara on where she lands!

Why do I bring this up to those who have never heard of either Barbara...

Wasn't she the Saturday night host for Art Bell for a number of years?

As interviewers go, she's probably #4 or 5 of talk show hosts whose interviews of authors actually "inspired" me to buy the book that was being promoted.

Sad to hear that the Babe in the Bunker got canned. Her show was very entertaining and informative. One of the few listenable shows on the weekend.

One source says the guy from last week is Ms Simpson's KSFO replacement.

I listened to a few minutes last Saturday as I tuned in Ms Simpson's show and was puzzled by how he kept referring to it as his show.

Even I figured out what had happened.

A few minutes was all I could take as he has an annoying habit of stretching out a sentence's last wor-r-r-r-r-rd. Others commented on this annoyance.

Plus I have other opinions about his manner of speech which I feel qualified to have after being a fan of radio since the early 1940s.

But the aforementioned irritant is so gross that even the radio voice of Michael Savage would lose the audience if Savage stretched out sentences' last wor-r-r-r-r-rd.

Industry may have to put KSFO on suicide watch if this keeps up.. make that Cumulus.

Probably won't happen soon but Savage may be next as well as Levin (nationwide Cumulus).

In Savage's own words prior to taking over the new slot he intended to become less partisan and more "diverse." I recall remarks from the Dickey brothers that that is what they want. Hannity was too political. But Savage has been more like the original Savage that made him popular.

I thought that Cumulus wanted a self-imposed Fairness Doctrine so Obama won't have to do it.

But it may be part of an all out destruction campaign against conservative talk. I've experienced it before when one hour a week of William F. Buckley's Firing Line on PBS was all the fairness conservative opinion deserves.

"the Dickey Brothers (Lew and John) themselves as part of an alleged ongoing strategy to devalue the worth of [the entire conservative news/talk radio format] in the eyes of the public as well as the advertising community."

Lot of interesting comments about this esp. for KSFO & KGO former listeners.
Cumulus is not done "decimating" either KSFO or KGO . . . There are changes to me made, yet. Remember, KSFO is for SALE at a decently high price in the millions. Without results soon -- very soon in fact -- [local talent on both stations days are numbered] . . . newer technologies competing . . . Too little $$$$ and so few listeners.

Don't know exactly what newer technologies mean I guess it is related to the social media crap issue.
