10 to 1 they won’t make money.
Get Woke Go Broke. Lying to your audience all day is not a formula for success.
“We’re going to an all radish format. We’ll have shows on how to grow and market radishes. We’ll have programs about the use of radishes in fine dining. I’m personally looking forward to our morning show on fertilizing radishes.”
“On Thursday, Cumulus Radio’s KGO (810 AM) announced it was ending its “legendary” news and talk format immediately...”
That sure is an impulsive gamble.
24 hours a day of sports betting? Australian Rugby? Indian Cricket?
If I recollect correctly it was the station I occasionally tuned into just to hear the leftist point of view back when I lived close to bay area.
Nevada went with gambling got through the Great Depression and it paid off down the road.
KGO started in 1924 in San Francisco and then become leaders of the Culture of Death in the 1980’s. Wow. Ray Taliaferro blasphemed on the air daily. Bernie Ward trashed the Catholic Church every day and then his vices placed him in jail in 2007. The list of KGO’s crimes against ethics is massive. The positives at KGO were Barbara Simpson, Bill Wattenburg and the Giants announcers.
Guess the prog turd got too smelly to successfully polish anymore.
Once you’ve pushed perversion and insanity to its limit, there’s no more chance of “ progressing” it.
Good riddance.
Just wow
What will Ronn do now?
A station that was predominantly leftist but did have several fine moderate or conservative talk hosts. Lee rogers, Melanie Morgan, a couple more. Ira Blue was somewhat lefty but not a doctrinaire communist. Very intelligent and entertaining. Krasny too leftist for my tastes but intelligent —
All in all one of America’s great radio stations going down the sewer. Who the hell needs a 50,000 watt 24 hour betting channel anyway?
How does this use of the public airwaves benefit society ?
KGO was the liberal talk show station in SF.
Its counterpart, KSFO, the conservative talk show station, is doing just fine.
Figure that... in San Francisco!
The toilet bowl station that launched Pedophile Bernie Ward on his Anti Catholic, transitioning to Federal Prison Inmate, career.
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.

Easy money.
New format to be called The Spread. All betting sports talk stations sprouting out all over US. Boston has one at AM 850. Mass.

Is Bernie Ward [former lefty talk show host] still in prison ?
