KGO which is basically the affiliated liberal side of the same KSFO – KGO radio family (“sister stations”) is in the middle of massive firings and shakeups. KGO changed their format a long while back, the stalwart of liberal talk didn’t work and their ratings dropped, with the exception of course of the longtime KGO talk host Ronn Owens who does have a dedicated audience and instead he has now moved over to KSFO taking Mark Levin’s slot. Mark Levin has been taken off his current live 3pm to 6pm slot, and instead for now put into a “red hear” (verse red eye) slot in the evening and will only be pre-recorded.
I stopped listening to Mark Levin on KSFO many months ago, his “show” essentially digressed into Levin listening first to Michael Savage, then when Levin would come on the air all he would do is psychotically attack Michael Savage and Levin was really as bad as Glenn Beck as far as bizarre mental fixation and hatreds and jealously, and really that is the exact explanation of when and how Levin jumped on the Ted Cruz bandwagon, besides having family relations as paid operatives of Cruz, Levin was fixated with jealousy of Savage’s tremendous success and huge audience and ratings that as soon as Savage started saying some good things about Trump it was then that Levin jumped on the Cruz sounding board and when Savage started to have Trump call into his show, Levin went totally berserker and became a Cruz wingnut not too far removed from Glenn Beck, the real root cause of Levin’s already cardiac-issue was totally deep-seated in his jealousy of Michael Savage. Of course, Michael Savage, the most popular show on KSFO as far as ratings, maintains his coveted Noon to 3pm slot and it’s huge audience. The morning show 5am to 9am moves Brian Sussman out of the slot, he was a local host in the SF Bay Area. The “sister station” to KSFO was KGO and was bleeding money. KGO total clean house going on, dozens terminated, who knows where the format lands next week. Sussman on KSFO was a great host, but a local host and not national. Not sure who takes this slot, might be a national host.
Glenn Beck has been dumped. Which is fine by me, I haven’t listened to this nut and his religious-mix-political cultism for a long, long time.
ahh, well, there’s always Polka Party
Their ratings have plummeted since they became the “All Cruz” shows...
I am especially surprised at Levin. He’s gone over the edge with this. And Beck is just plain nuts- from a former huge fan!
Well it is San Francisco. So there’s that. Meanwhile, Mark Levin’s show has expanded everywhere else.
I remember back under Klinton, KSFO was a key player in educating voters in CA RAT politics.
Slowly it evolved into syndication broadcasts and locals went dark.
Levin has said numerous times he will support Trump if he gets the nomination. In your opinion, would he still be “over the edge” then?
Beck will diminish until he’s gone... Within five years.
Imagine Mark Levin in a Cruz Administration as White House Chief of Staff.
Still laughing?
Picture Glenn Beck as Press Secretary.
(he stabs anybody whose question he doesn’t like) LOL
Hell, try five months.
----------------------------------------
Brian Sussman is still on today. He just talked about the changes through the rest of the day's schedule.
Presumably Rush is still on at 9. Several years back, they dropped Rush and he moved to KNEW 910, a station with a weaker signal. Rush came back to KSFO a couple years ago.
I miss Tony Snow!
Beck is un-listenable. His show was much better when he was off and his two sidekicks filled in.
They should bring back Barbara Simpson.
100% agree with you. I have dumped Rush 3 months back, Levin 2 yrs back and Beck never on radio. Brian I still listen while driving to work.
Time had changed, we get our news from Drudge, Tweeter and others.
LOL! I dumped ‘beck’ myself a couple years ago. Did he get hit in the head with a rock or something?
I listen to Rush and Savage on KSFO, but it’s not easy. If I hear their ad for 800 lumen light bulbs one more time I think I’ll vomit.

KSFO was also instrumental in getting Gray(out) Davis recalled. Their morning show promoted the recall relentlessly.
Too bad they dropped Barbara Simpson a couple years ago. She was a great listen on the weekends, with a lot of local content and excellent guests.
So did Cruz?
They killed Breitbart...
