Mike, Agreed. But they do it all for ratings. Money talks. Enough to run any program that sells ads. Fear sells ads, politics sells ads. Talk radio must do pretty well to stay on the air. Almost every market has the EIB Network or C2C if nothing else. I called in on Ray Breem's show on KABC

Joe, Another station that used to talk about their long distance calls was CKLW. It was really exciting for stations in those days to get a letter or call from a distant listener. You are right The Good Ol' Days. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager

I'm not really getting into politics. I just don't like any broadcasting company going bust. Even the ones I don't care for, but money talks and if you don't have the green stuff, you go away. We have seen it hundreds of times. There just seems to be not enough money to support the broadcasting

I'm amazed Air America lasted as long as they did. I think a long time ago, the Left and the Right got together and divvied things up. The Left took control of TV and the Right took control of radio. It's as if that's now a law of nature, and any attempt of one to trespass on the other's

Been a fan of KGO since the 1960's when their first talk show came from the Hungry I in SF, hosted by Les Crane. Later on Ira Blue was there for years. KGO is one great station. One of the few that has kept their format. I guess with the internet, KGO has listeners worldwide. Their signal is right

I listen to KGO on rare occasions. While they have kept their format essentially intact for centuries, I find it generally boring. A special guest on a program may make it worthwhile for me to listen, but listening to KGO is like eating the same thing for dinner 8700 nights in a row. Its

I'll listen to C2C sometimes, but I am finding radio pretty boring these days. My pet peeve with C2C is when they put on shows about the worldwide calamities that you can do nothing about. I once sent an email to George Noory, basically telling him that the doom and gloom shows could be enough
