She started out at KGO before moving to KSFO. I guess she's "been there, done that."

For those of you blessed to live out of the Bay area...

- This was KGO radio, perhaps the most unprofessional and leftist station in the nation..

- This is the same station that had a defrocked former Catholic priest as their primary headliner — who also had a Sunday show called “God Talk”.... He was very recently found guilty and sentenced for child pornography charges.

- This host, who cursed and called for the death of “Joe the Plumber” - is a flamboyant queer who has had his fudge and tonsils packed so tight that his brain housing group is dysfunctional....

This is a city and a station (KGO) that truly reflects the filth, immorality, criminality and incompetence of Leftists and most particularly Queer Leftists.....

I live in the SF Bay Area and listen to KGO. I use to listen a lot to KGO but the station has gone downhill over the last ten years. It use to be a great radio station but it is now a shadow of itself. The only good host left is Bill Wattenburg on the weekends. I encourage all Freepers to listen to him on the Internet if you can stay up that late on Sat and Sun night. His ideas on energy policy are simply the best.
As for Karel, I think he is the worst talk show host I've ever heard. He would not even be on the air if he were not homosexual (it's San Francisco don't you know). He is a really stupid person. He makes so many false statements it's pathetic. When callers start to get the better of him, he simply cuts them off. I know some will say why do you listen to him if he is so bad. I often force myself to listen to people I detest so I can better know what is going out over the air and what others are listening to. (Most here know who Keith O. is at MSNBC). I don't listen to him a great deal. I could not torture myself that much. I hope KGO will replace the creep with a good host. I really doubt they will. Jack Swanson is a wimp.

I used to love listening to Bill Wattenburg and learned a lot from his show. Bill is the best!

Bravo! Damn River Rat, that's some of the best text I've read in ages. Fantastic. It brought a smile to me and I haven't smiled for at least 48 hours. Great Job! My compliments!

Yes and no.

Mel is a true conservative Valkyrie, and she grew to fulfillment by force of her own intellect. She is courteous and considerate of all at KGO (and loved by all at KSFO), but only Dr. Bill Wattenburg is in her class at KGO, as far as hosts go.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Karel used to be on KFI in Los Angeles some years back, on the “Karel and Andrew” Show. Andrew, his “partner”, passed away, and Karel stayed for a time before leaving for SF. Not exactly a heavyweight talk show host, more of a drama queen in every sense of the word.
