Let's not take this laying down

[editor-surveyor]

The conservative pretense is over at KFBK

[Fruitbat]

I guess they're going for that more lucrative liberal programming!

Ahh, we have open lines. Where's the number. Oh, here it is, ... silly me. Do we have any callers? (H'yuk!)

No Alec, no one seems to want to listen to your horsecrap.

[CAluvdubya]

So, is Tom Sullivan still there? (or do I have the wrong station?)

Way to go Grittin and Reed (son's surgeon) and way to go Granite Bay! (used to live there)

Did KFBK get bought out by someone or something? They are a very conservative area so this is just stupid!

[kingu]

Me thinks you're targeting the wrong level. Who owns this station - not who makes day to day decisions at the station, but who picks up the phone and people's heads end up disconnected from their bodies rolling down the hill? Because that is who needs to be contacted.

The station manager who made this decision should be fired, but even better, is the owner losing money by it becoming a 'moderate/liberal' crap fest. Then the opinion of the station manager means nothing because his paycheck will be taken to pay for the damage.

Least that's my viewpoint on it. I'm glad the guy is pro military, but it doesn't mean a rip in the long run if he's hired back at a station where they're ready to fire him. Time for him to find better anchorage.

Oh, and you might want to call other stations in the area, and offer to switch your listenership if they hire him on. Because it sincerely sounds like you are.

[demkicker]

Let's just let capitalism work its natural magic. KFBK will die a natural death, and rightfully so... Unlike Terry Schaivo, this death will actually be self inflicted and well deserved.

[Randy Larsen]

I've noticed lately that Tom Sullivan has gone wishy washy also!

I'm done with KFBK, Hope Rush hears of this!

[atomicpossum]

They might as well run the Tom Daschle Show.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

A sad day indeed. I used to listen to Rush on that station before he went national.
Has the Sacramento area gone that liberal? Well I know it's the state capital. But the central valley is a fairly red voting area as a block.
Stop listening to the station.
Advertizers pull the pin like this piece mentions. Make them feel the pain in the pocket book. Best way to deal with this in a capitalistic society.

[Drango]

Griffin & Reed Eye Care, which pays for on-air media endorsements (including Williams') has pulled all advertisements from KFBK.

This is the only thing that counts. Calling the station people don't work. CALL THE ADVERTISERS!

[BlazingArizona]

Is the station in Rio Linda, CA, by any chance?

[whatisthetruth]

Don't they still have Rush in the line-up twice a day?

[Texas Eagle]

There's always KTKZ 1380 AM. Or, for even beter reception, 105.5 FM

Eric Hogue, Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt, Laura Ingraham. Powerful lineup.

[Hugin]

Mark is a good guy, but I always found his show a bit boring. I almost never listen to KFBK except occasionally Rush. I find the programing on KTKZ and KSTE much more entertaining and thoughtful. Also since KSTE is the same managment and has Hannity, Savage and Armstrong and Getty, it's not like the Clear Chanel is purging the airwaves of conservative hosts. It's probably about ratings and the cost of keeping Mark. Broadcasting is first and foremost a business (well, except for Air America and PBS maybe). They are probably paying this new guy a lot less, and if his ratings aren't good he'll be gone soon enough.

[nutmeg]

KFBK... This was the station that launched the "Rush Limbaugh Show..."

Sad news ping...

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

[peggybac]

What was the official reason for his firing? What were his ratings?

[ovrtaxt]

This looks like an impending crash and burn. I wonder how long it will take for those pesky Arbitron ratings to work their magic?

[Alia]

I'm sorry to learn this about Mark Williams. He covered those conservative events no one else covered.

[Grampa Dave]

Well, I will just remove this station from my speed dial buttons in both cars.

[mewzilla]

According to Arbitron, the radio station is at the top at the moment.

Click here, then choose Sacramento.

This move doesn't look too smart.

I searched the thread for KGO's Bernie Ward's name -- though I did not go to the sacbee link.

Years ago the clowns at KFBK put Ward on in the afternoon -- he was gone in a matter of a few weeks.

What do they say about insanity? Doing something over and over expecting different results?
