Complete garbage. Zero talent here.
-
Whoever pitched the idea to convert a renowned platform filled with exquisite, wholehearted, and profoundly dedicated staff to the most dismal, pathetic, and pitiful excuse of a show I ever had the unfortunate experience of listening to should lose everything. No matter how many advertisers pay you, no matter how many sponsors you get, and no matter how many worthless product placements you so callously format into your programming, you will come nowhere near close to earning the respect to real KGO had, nor will you gain anyone's respect or recognition and you will fail.
-
Boring, no talent, vocabulary-deprived host from So. Cal; what's not to hate?
-
You now, officially, SUCK!
-
I listened in to KGO today to learn you have devolved to the lowest form of news, Sports Entertainment. This show is BORING . Obviously you are too CHEAP to pay for real news/talk station and are importing a worthless feed from L.A.
-
No comparison. I miss the wonderful programs that are now cancelled for another sports station among many in the bay area??? Profoundly sad. I thought the current lineup (except for Bohannan) was one of the best for weekdays ever. Have to look for something better. Podcasts or something....

As a Conservative I listened to hear the other side. I did like the local news and events they covered. It wasn't all politics. The hosts were rude to conservatives. But it was their show.

Since Chip got sacked, KGO has turned into a full-blown rightwing conspiracy station. Sad to see its reputation tarnished by authoritarianism and extremism. Listen to 88.5FM for real news.

As a hispanic conservative I would always use this channel to listen to the way these other people thought. While the callers were often apocalyptic and over the top it gave me an in site I do not get. Even living in the bay my whole life I knew these liberals were around but never really interacted. The hosts weren't that bad except for pat Thurston whom I thought was terrible. Bitter sweet and I couldn't stand most of the viewpoints and I knew most of the views expressed are opposite of the way they live their lives it was my dose of liberalism. I used to love to call in and start my statement w "as a hispanic male". Haha classic

It's all about money. Right wing corporate radio is strangling liberal expression. Bomb throwing and name calling makes more money than a thoughtful discussion of issues. KGO was one of the few voices on the American AM radio airwaves that provided an alternative. Even in "Liberal Democrat" cities like New York it's difficult to find progressive views on the radio. I finally had to get XM Satellite radio for my car so I could find something palatable when driving outside the bay area.

The weasels sacked the whole staff of KGO -again!-
-
i have to agree with many of the people here, that letting go of Chip Franklin was a big mistake..Also, that if i wanted right wing radio, i'd ilsten to KSFO or others..it gets old to hear the same ol' bashing of the Democratic Party with NO answers, just bashing all the time..Also, while i think John Rothman is the smartest guy on radio, and also a Native SF guy, i'm getting tired of him taking WAY TOO MANY calls from right wing guys, in the name of diversity..it gets old as well, and i'm also not able to ilsten at 4-7..I like Mark Thompson alot, and he is the only reason to listen anymore..
-
I am a longtime listener of KGO. I LOVE KGO from 6am - 7pm. I HATE KGO from 7pm on. If I wanted to listen to right wing conspiracy theorists, I could easily tune into KSFO. You have ruined my evening /night radio listening and have done a disservice to the long history of KGO. Bring back Chip Kelly or any sane, non-right wing radio host. Your night line-up sucks!!!
-
Chip must have rubbed some people the wrong way. He was informed, funny and fair with callers. The morning person should have been let go instead in my opinion. I still listen to the 10am plus hosts though, I’ve been listening to KGO since the days of Ira Blue with my dad

I am a consistent listener to KGO radio and particularly interested in John Rothman's program. I also listened to your other hosts. All of you seemed to try to bear a fair views of the current issues with a little bit on the left. I agree almost all of your postings and admire you all how you handled some IDIOTS trying to convey their illogical and ridiculous ideas on air. I view your radio program as highly educational because I am an educator. As I have requested before from John that if he or KGO would establish a kind of an institute to educate the public how to be a responsible VOTER. Lay out the issue at hand; report fairly on BOTH SIDES, and make a multi=perspective analysis with respect to the TRUTH. Leave the voters to make a choice. Logics, images and believes are the major factors to affect the voters. If you can systematically organize a set of programs to educate US, including me and that would be a great service to US and me and to the whole nation. Thanks.

Somebody tell the guy on the air that an AR-15 is a 0.22 caliber. He apparently thinks it has much bigger bullets. A typical anti-2nd amendment person who speaks out of ignorance.
-
During the day, or when I am driving; KGO is my "go-to" station. If for no other reason than the adage that I hear John Rothman espouse occasionally on the air: The more you listen, the more you know". I have found that to be true. Oh, and I don't want to ruin a perfectly good review - but since so many people brought it up: I found Chip Franklin to be very abrasive. (just my opinion) Thanks! Paul H.
-
I just discover this radio, it's lovely, but I see in the comments below that everybody wants Chip Franklin be back, so maybe you have to take into consideration this.

Letting Chip go was a big mistake. He was the best. Pat or the gal in the morning couldn't come close to him.
