A San Francisco talk radio station stunned listeners on Thursday when it abruptly went off the air in the middle of a program.
On Thursday, Cumulus Radio’s KGO (810 AM) announced it was ending its “legendary” news and talk format immediately, with plans to announce a new line-up of programming next week.
“We thank you for your loyalty and for trusting KGO to be your source for information,” a spokesperson for the station said in a message posted online. “We also want to sincerely thank all the talented men and women that worked so hard over the years to produce award-winning programming on KGO.”
The shake-up happened around 10 a.m. while the station was airing “The Mark Thompson Show.” In the middle of the program, the audio feed suddenly switched to a pre-taped announcement about the format change.

I nearly forgot the speculation a few months ago that licenses would not be allowed for stations that presented right wing or moderately conservative talk. They called it fake news like the social media czars do.
Dangerous to freedom of speech.
All NPR all the time with various different names would be terrible, like the TV news is today.

It’s getting to the point that betting is so prevalent, that there’s no way somebody isn’t throwing games.

I left 10 years ago. Used to live be San Jose Airport.
When I got to The Bay Area, my first exposure to KGO was Michael Krasny, with Lee Rodgers being on before Krasny.
I can remember when Bernie was given the full-time slot.
Lots of people like to hear the best parts repeated or don't have anything else to do. Especially the retired and people with long commutes.
Bernie used to have “God Talk” on Sunday mornings.
Is Bernie Ward [former lefty talk show host] still in prison ?
Even Red Eye Radio?
Wiki:
“With good behavior, Ward’s sentence of 87 months was reduced by 15 percent, making him eligible for Supervised Release on December 19, 2014; there is no parole in the Federal system. On release from prison California’s Megan’s Law designated Ward a registered sex offender. For the remainder of his life Ward must in-person notify and register with local law enforcement about his residing or staying in its jurisdiction and locale.
Ward served his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution, Lompoc, a low-security federal prison in California. He was released on December 19, 2014.”
Him too
When Lee Rodgers was on KGO, he had the 7 pm - 10 pm weekday slot. On Monday nights, one hour of the show was “Monday Night Fights,” where Rodgers would debate Bernie Ward on various issues.
