KGO (SF) fires Ray Taliaferro, Gil Gross, Gene Burns, John Rothmann
   
Confirmation: They're already gone from the KGO staff page: http://www.kgoam810.com/Article.asp?id=2165451

A KGO Radio source has just confirmed the following:

Gene Burns, Gil Gross, John Rothmann and Ray Taliaferro were all let go today in a major personnel shake-up at 900 Front.

Only Ronn Owens was spared a dismissal. Owens has a "personal services" contract that runs through Jan., 2013.

Liberal radio can't even make it in the land of fruit and nuts.

16. This is unbelievable.
   

And with the news yesterday that Green 960 is booting the liberal voices, it seems to be a horrible round-up and dismissal of left wing voices. Can somebody tell me why a wealthy liberal cannot buy a freaking radio station, IN SAN FRANCISCO???

I think Karel is still on.

19. yeah, it seems like wholesale removal of the liberal perspective from radio here
   
insane in an area that votes 70%+ Democratic in city and suburbs.

When will you DUmmies learn. If you boycott the sponsors of Rush, Hannity and Levin, you're also boycotting the sponsors or liberal radio.

Sponsors realize that liberal radio is a losing venture and DUmmies have no money. Whereas Conservatives have a disposable income to buy products to keep Conservative voices broadcasting.

20. tell them you won't listen and/or tell their sponsors that you may not patronize them
   
because the effort seems to be aimed at eliminating a point of view from radio.

See reply above.

and Both Gene Burns and Ray Taliaferro have been there for years! WTF is going on with KGO? Its been the liberal voice of radio on the West Coast for a long, long time. Ron Owens has always been a bit in the center.. politically. I wonder if KGO has sold out to the dark side???


I used to tune in for Bernie Ward..I was sorry he had his problem and ended up in prison. Updating, if KGO is going all news.. that's not very wise, we already have an All News Station. What's one more going to do?

This is truly messed up! I have to admit, I don't listen much to KGO anymore, but its always been there, when I wanted to hear topics discussed. I will definately boycott them now. I hope their arbatron ratings go into the toilet.

Let's see if I have this correct. You don't listen to them but you will boycott them. Did I read that right?

All your radio media are belong to us.

Liberals do not see life from the consumer's side.

They never see wages as something the work-a-day consumer will tolerate in product pricing, they only see it as what an evil 1%-er is willing to pay to his wage slaves.

Likewise, they do not see "liberal voices" on the radio by what they draw for an audience, thus creating value for advertisers, they only see what they think management should pay-for regardless of value. That liberal voices are "silenced" in liberal SF only tells me the fired hosts cannot support themselves in a cherry-pick market. Perhaps other liberal voices could get the job done; not that DU would consider this angle.

Nope, the DUmbasses only know that liberals are being kicked off the air in a liberal market while Rush Limbaugh et al continue to dominate. So, to them there must be a power dynamic at play.

I repeat my assertion from the Anne Bitchett Salivation Smarmy thread: liberals do not see the value to the end-user, only the power that others have which is the power they want.

That liberal in LA post is shocking.  Simply shocking.  yep, it's too bad he got addicted to child porn.  Maybe if he wasn't addicted and just moderated his attention to child porn all would be great.   WOW.  Sick freaks.

Yeah...like Hitler using the downtime in Landsberg Prison to write Mein Kampf.  That turned out great, didn't it?

At least the DU makes it clear who they look up too....

[67 Rover]

I am surprised that no one mentioned the so called "fairness doctrine". The DUmmies are slipping.

44. occupy!

No takers on this one.

Ever notice that when a Liberal/communist/progressive concept fails and they all do, it is always some outside evillllll influence that causes the 100% failure rate? It is never the root Liberal/communist/progressive concept.

I used to tune in for Bernie Ward..I was sorry he had his problem and ended up in prison.

Had his problem?!?  He was watching kiddie porn, and doing who knows what else that goes along with that type of crime, but he "had his problem?!?"

You're one sick puppy, primitive.

[GOBUCKS]

And in other news, I cannot believe how long we've gone without a thread about The Kootch.

All this stir about some queer radio guys, but nothing in many months about loony Dennis.

[Airwolf]

Face it  lurkers. Liberal radio sucks. If it didn't then they would still be on the air. Your whole mindset sucks and not in a good way. Your kind should have realized this back in the late 80's when the USSR fell but no you clowns have to hang onto that failed system like the doomed passengers of the Titanic.

[Celtic Rose]

What's funny is that KGO is just a local news station.  I sincerely doubt that most of the people who listen to it have any idea who those guys are.

Of course.
That's why every single time the left loses an election, they claim it could only have been the result of eeeeeeeviiiiiiiillllll corporate boogeymen rigging the machines.

"The ship is NOT sinking!  It's just a scratch!"    

I'm sorry, but that thought flashed thru my mind as soon as I read this!

DUmmies can't wrap their tiny minds around the concept that they are NOT the dominate political force in the USA, in fact, they are a rather tiny minority.

But they "feel" good about it!
