Clear Channel San Francisco Shuffles Talk Station Lineups (Green 960 shifts to Fox News)
   
Edited on Tue Nov-29-11 03:57 PM by Newsjock
Source: All Access

CLEAR CHANNEL is shuffling the lineups at its Talk stations in SAN FRANCISCO, and the net effect is the move of the liberal "Progressive Talk" format presently on Talk KKGN-A (GREEN 960) to the HD-2 channel of Oldies KKSF (OLDIES 103.7), with call letter changes and programming swaps on the two AMs.

... What is now KKGN-A (GREEN 960) will pick up the FOX NEWS RADIO affiliation and KNEW-A calls, and will pick up PREMIERE's GLENN BECK for mornings (presently noon-3p on 910 AM), syndicated DAVE RAMSEY 9a-noon (also from 910 AM), PREMIERE's RANDI RHODES remaining from the GREEN lineup for noon-3p, and FOX's JOHN GIBSON moving over from afternoons on 910 to the same slot on 960.

The current KKGN lineup, including DIAL GLOBAL's STEPHANIE MILLER and THOM HARTMANN, PREMIERE's RHODES (simulcast with 960), and syndicated NORMAN GOLDMAN, will be heard (as "FM PROGRESSIVE TALK") on KKSF-FM-HD-2 and online.

7. wow...so the Bagger types are probably afraid that their voter suppression efforts might not work,
   
so they are now going to switch to suppressing information/discussion and in Clear Channel's
case, pick up the brain washing like FuxNooseChannel.

Get rid of education...pound the Bible from the pulpit...drill bullshit into brains via radio/TV...keep
the 99% down/out/silenced.

It never stops.

In some small cavity someplace, there is a pea brain who actually knows what this means.

8. and it goes over to cable t.v. too ....
   
..... turn it on and almost anytime you can see people building guns, shooting guns,
rednecks having interpersonal problems in the woods, swamps, and or gold mines,
large Christian families who have been "blessed by Jesus" so the mother has 15 + kids,
"Christian programing," Fox, CNN, some of the programing on MSNBC, and all kinds of
right wing garbage. In Ohio WOSU 820 AM that hits 80% of the state has been sold and switched
to an all Catholic right wing station and the Columbus Dispatch has bought out most all the
local papers and magazines so in 2012 "they" can pound out their message 24/7.

In Columbus we have had 2 progressive stations shut down by the right wing.

Wait for it.........................................

And tell them that the Fairness Doctrine is NOT "obsolete" - and that Clear Channel and Cumulus seem to be in collusion to monopolize the AM bandwidth in San Francisco with eliminationist HATE RADIO.

20. Glen Beck to replace Thom Hartmann? No more Malloy?

From article above:

Director of Operations Don Parker said "San Francisco has a long heritage of great talk programing and talent. We saw the opportunity to expand our footprint in this crucial arena as we head into an election year, and a population increasingly engaged in local state, and national events and activism"

This is terrible!

I listen to Green 960 to hear Stafanie Miller (6-9 AM) & Thom Hartmann 9AM-Noon
plus Malloy from 6-9 PM

Looks like the only progressive survivor is Randi Rhodes.

, it all starts January 3, 2012

I love it.

25. You're absolutely right!.....Spokesman: "as we head into an election year."
   
I listen to Green 960 every day too; and I don't have HD; and I can't listen to Hartmann, Malloy & Miller on pod-casts, either; so I'm "shit out of luck!"

From above article:
"Director of Operations Don Parker said "San Francisco has a long heritage of great talk programing and talent. We saw the opportunity to expand our footprint in this crucial arena as we head into an election year.."

Writing to Clear Channel will do no good.....What we need to do is to write, e-mail & call other SF AM radio stations asking them to pick up Hartman, Malloy & Miller et. al.

Perhaps the San Francisco Democratic Party, and other SF progressive organizations will be willing to help find another station to carry these shows.

We all could contact SF newspapers as well, including the Bay Guardian, and get the word out that ANOTHER SF RADIO STATION MUST STEP IN HERE!

We, as San Franciscans, and other Bay Area residents who listen to Green 960, need to organize somehow and coordinate our efforts to find another AM radio station to carry these shoes ASAP!

Read the instructions. Wash, rinse and repeat. It's the same with liberal radio. Buy, broadcast and fail.

58. Occupy the air waves?

That will work.

Take em over and start broadcasting your own programs.

Now let's count the felonies.

[JohnnyReb]

58. Occupy the air waves?...as if there isn't enough liberal shit in the air waves....on police cars, in parks, on sidewails, on streets.

76. Mike Malloy kept me sane

[DLR Pyro]

I listen to Green 960 every day too; and I don't have HD

write your elected representitive and demand it as yet another entitlement you are owed courtesy of the taxpayers.  Im sure if you are represented by a democrat, you just might get it.

[NHSparky]

 

Well, don't act so surprised.  Mike Malloy is God's way of telling you that no matter how ****ed up your life may be, you'll never be as ****ed up as THAT.

[Wineslob]

ROFL DUmbasses!


SHOW ME THE MONEY!........................is true.

Suck on it.

Has it ever occured to you that if those radio personalities you mentioned have broadcasts that generate enough listeners that several stations are fighting over them right now?

[Airwolf]

Clear vhannel had let go a local person on KFAB just recently and it was due to budget cuts, That came right from the Wiki page of the person they fired. KFAB in Omaha is hardly left leaning or Progressive so you Idiots on the DUmp can stop with your whinning about how your voice isn't heard. You still have the majority of TV networks and newspapers in this country pumping out your vile BS.

Randi Rhodes sounds familiar for some reason, is she the broad that passed out drunk covered in vomit and fell down some stairs losing a uterus or tooth maybe both? 

[Skul]

DUmbass primatives do not understand commercial broadcasting, pure and simple.
If the liberal/socialist talkshow hosts drew an audiance where upon advertizers would get some bang for their buck...
they'd still be there.
Don't fret little DUmmies.  You still have taxpayer funded NPR.

[Mr Mannn]

What makes this delicious, is the same people who tried to shut down conservative stations (for years!) are now having to face their own stations failing one by one.

[miskie]

Its quite simple, actually...

You OWS enamored libtards have no money to invest in any of these stations, and their advertisers. And even if you did, you would expect services for free or at most at cost.

The 1% Soros type liberals have no intention of parting with any of their money...

Therefore, the businesses need to do what they need to do to survive - target the people who make the world work- and for the most part, they are conservatives.

[movie buff]

LOL, even in San Francisco they can't keep their idiot liberal radio pundits on the airwaves.

[BEG]

Bagger types

I thought he was referring to those San Francisco types.

[delilahmused]

Randi Rhodes sounds familiar for some reason, is she the broad that passed out drunk covered in vomit and fell down some stairs losing a uterus or tooth maybe both? 

Yeah, I remember that. Tripped walking down the sidewalk or something.

Sounds like she actually lives the liberal lifestyle, not just espouse it on the radio.

[DLR Pyro]

It's humorous to hear rail on about how conservatives lie and are phonies when she doesn't even use her own real name on her program and I would hazard a guess the majority of her fans don't know she is using a stage name.  At least Rush, Sean and Glen use their given names.

[diesel driver]

I hear the faint sounds of a song in the distance, growing closer, growing louder.

It's Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust."   

[movie buff]

Yeah, I remember that. Tripped walking down the sidewalk or something.

Cindie

When that happened, the DUmpmonkeys of course initially suggested that her wounds were the result of being physically attacked, undoubtedly by EEEEVILLL right- wing conspirators trying to silence her.
When the truth came out (That she just fell over drunk), they shut up about the incident pretty darn fast.

[GOBUCKS]

Randi Rhodes sounds familiar for some reason, is she the broad that passed out drunk covered in vomit and fell down some stairs losing a uterus or tooth maybe both?

Yeah. She got nearly blind drunk, tripped over a shadow on the sidewalk, and landed her mouth on a curb.  I think it was way more than a single tooth that got shattered.

[jukin]

In my wild college days (1982) we set up a pirate radio station. It was all of 5 watts in the foothills and could only be heard in almost line of sight locations in town. We only broadcast for two hours a night on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We did this for less than 8 weeks before a full armed, kick in the door raid by the FCC happened on a Sunday night. About 20 black clad SWAT guys with ARs busted in the door and went full para military on the DJs. They took them and the guy that lived there and built the system to jail for the night. The next day they let them out and the penalty was only the confiscation of the transmitter and threats of 10 years if they had to come back.

That was 30 years ago. I would hate to see what the new militarized FCC under the hardcore communist 0bama regime komisar would do today.
