NEWS & TALK NOW ON FM RADIO
For the first time in 85 years on the air, San Diegos AM600 KOGO is making a historic change in operations by becoming San Diegos first News-Talk station to simulcast on FM radio at 95.7 FM, bringing more reach and value to the San Diego community. The simulcast begins Monday, November 7, 2011 at 7:00 a.m. PST. KOGOs new name and slogan is FM News and Talk 95.7 and AM 600 KOGO. We are San Diego.
AM 600 KOGO has an incredibly strong brand in San Diego with its award winning News and Talk format. The simulcast of KOGO on 95.7 FM allows us to provide complete expanded signal coverage of KOGOs market leading news and talk programming to better serve our local community as well as our advertisers, said Debbie Wagner, Clear Channel San Diego President / Market Manager.
Joining the KOGO weekday lineup are Bryan Suits, a true veteran of talk radio, having served in the military in Operation Desert Storm, Desert Shield and the War in Iraq; and Bob Sully Sullivan, a San Diego native and former local FM radio personality and creator/co-host of the nationally-syndicated Big Biz Show"
How irritating. Each time Clear Channel messes with KOGO, it gets worse.
