Just returned from the "YDSFMC" Tour in San Diego. I arrived shortly after 8am when the scheduled press conference with Howard Kaloogian was to begin. The YDSFMCT RV was parked right at the curb, adorned with MAF and YDSFMCT banners. I spoke briefly with Howard and he mentioned they were a little late getting started as some people had trouble finding the KOGO buiding. (Personally, I checked the map on the MAF website and was able to drive right to it.) KOGO had set up an outside "easy up" type tent where Roger Hedgecock was already doing his morning radio...

What's it going to take to get talk radio out of this increasingly-dismal ratings slump? The Radio Equalizer is tired of the post-election cycle excuse, since better-programmed stations are falling a bit less, while incompetently-managed outlets are getting creamed.

Randy Cunningham, R-Calif.; and SoledadNational.com Director Phil Thalmeimer. The attorney for atheist Philip Paulson, James McElroy, has told the men he will file the challenge next week. McElroy claims that a number of their statements on the ballot,...

Newly released Arbitron radio ratings bring some questions to mind, such as: --- Will Air America's apologists finally come up with a fresh batch of excuses, after insisting more time was needed for it to catch on? Isn't that one getting stale? --- Will some of the traditional talk stations, now showing audience declines, make changes soon?

SAN DIEGO – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was in San Diego Thursday to promote his proposed ballot measures to change the state budgeting practices, pension system, teacher pay and legislative redistricting. Schwarzenegger appeared on KOGO radio's Roger Hedgecock Show, before joining the host to gather signatures to bring his measures before voters, officials with Schwarzenegger's office said. Schwarzenegger has proposed reforming California's budget system, changing teacher pay to award merit rather than tenure, revising the way political districts are drawn and revamping the state's pension system. "What we are doing here is the private sector is paying for the public sector...
