What’s amusing is that his (Levin’s) ratings are still climbing across the board.
The guy has the third largest radio talk show in the country behind rush and Hannity.
This kind of nothing burger over KSFO reminds me of all the times that DU screams “This is HUGE...Rush is TOAST”...and he continues to increase his audience despite the predictions of his imminent demise.
If any advertising dollars are being lost...it’s at the local level...which has more to do with the local sales staff and the fact it’s in the Liberal hell hole of San Francisco. Loss of local advertising dollars has nothing to do with national advertising dollars.
If Mark was bleeding money for the Cumulus or West Wood One national sales staff...they wouldn’t have just re-upped him for another 9 years.
He’s one of the few money makers for that outfit these days.
Something to think about.
As of this morning Sussman did not know what KGO has in mind that they had to find a place for their only star.
Apparently Levin will be delayed to the 1800 - 2100 slot followed by Hannity replacing Beck 2100 - 2400.
I hear that country music is now popular in San Francisco.. maybe KGO is going all country. :)
Maybe KGO will give star liberal and San Francisco liberal Democrat icon Bernie Ward his old time slots (weekdays and weekends) now that he's out of prison.
I know that 99% of anyone reading this could not care less but the good news is KGO was THE STATION and a liberal mecca of what's in (anything Left) and the authority on what's not ("tea baggers").
