Indeed! It was apparently because of some no-nepotism clause the station had.
My opinion, she is a whiner.
So much for "free speech" from ABC (speak what we tell thee)
Aloud is really the only way you can whine ... if you do it quietly, it's whimpering.
I was hoping I'd get along down the list and see someone shout out who knew more about her than me!!
What she's done for these troops, if nothing else, deserves the respect of anyone who actually does give a Tinker's damn. And I give a couple Tinkers' damns.
My experience is she's going to find herself in an even better position when the smoke clears and I'll be praying for her to that end.
This is the part that piqued my curiosity. There is no doubt that behind the scenes politics played a major part of the adventure.
I have been amazed that MM has lasted as long as she has in *gasp*
... San Francisco!
Personally I opt for Ocam's Razor.
Those quick to invoke the "whining" offense are outing themselves for what they are, regardless of their sign up dates.
In the future, I certainly will regard anything they say with a large dose of salt.
The morning show on KSFO with Lee, Melanie, and OV (with Sussman filling in on Mondays) was the best conservative talk show in the country! (Even better than Rush)
They interviewed a lot of very important conservatives guests. The combination of the three were a great balance. When a talk show is just one host is it easy to get sick of him/her.
This is a major loss for Bay Area conservatives. Like breaking up the Beatles.
Try 1220 AM it's pretty good
BTW I'm going to scream if I hear Andy Willaby ask "how in the world I am anyway" again
Here's what I e-mailed KSFO:
"I am VERY disappointed in your decision to drop Melanie Morgan from the line up.
First you blew it with Michael Savage; now you've done it again!!!!
ARE YOU GUYS STUCK ON STUPID?
Maybe you should just hire Al Franken to replace Mel, and be done with it.
SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!"
Vic is on a ten day vacation. Extremely bad timing.
I don't care what some others are insisting, I think Melanie is GREAT. She is smart and enthusiastic, and I won't tune in from GA every day any more.
If they felt like canning someone, they could have started with Barbara Simpson! I'm sick to death of her Tom Cruise-like rants about how psychopharmaceuticals will cause you to become a crazed maniac and commit suicide.
I like the Melanie/Lee/OV combo in the mornings, but I think it has hurt them that Lee takes off on Mondays. Suss is getting better as he goes along, but I still find him annoying fairly often. Breaking up the MLOV trio is a mistake, methinks.
Maybe she'll JOIN the guys on 910 -- Armstrong, Getty, & Morgan?
I think her getting let go was a blessing for her in disguise. I like Melanie, and I hope she will have her own show someday. Maybe soon now.
I am listening to the re-broadcast. Barbara is wonderful, but I didn't enjoy her much either. She is perfect for an evening or afternoon show, but I guess I need a faster pace in the morning.
I'd like to see her and Mark Williams from Sacramento (KFBK) team up and do a KFBK-KSFO show. But that's just my personal preference. For now, I'd just like to see KSFO save their morning show and keep it Lee-Mel-OV. (And Wanda with Puppy Love - I like the dogs).
