I agree. This is very sad.
KGO was a successful live, locally programmed talk station for years.
Going up against KCBS which has been all news for a long time and now is
available on both AM and FM is going to be a real challenge for Cumulus.
I thought the ultimate goal for companies such as Cumulus, Clear channel and
others was to save money. If they intend to offer a live-local presentation
for news, they will still need a good sized staff to do it right and that
costs in the long run.

Subject: Re: [IRCA] Cumulus shifting KGO to News
Wow!!! What a shock!!! That is too bad and very unfortunate. I wonder
what KGO's ratings will be like in the next book? They have been
News-Talk since the early 60s. I have been listening that long too,
since their first show done at the Hungry I with Les Crane. This is a
sad day.
