I am 80 and grew up way in the country; all the news we knew came on KOB or we didn't know it. Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians and always Chevrolet as a sponsor, and a story for this little kid to wake up to. My father liked The FBI in Peace and War and Dragnet. One Man's Family in the evenings; I sent to Miles Laboratories in Elkhart for the family tree. My grandmother listened to Lorenzo Jones and his Wife Belle, and bought Oxydol. Announcers like Johnny G (John Griswold, later on). We always listened to the Indy 500. My grandfather and I planned to listen all evening to the fight between Floyd Patterson and Ingomar Johanssen, but it was over so fast we sat and played cribbage instead. I was sitting at a light at San Pedro and Lomas in a new Corvair from Ed Black's when I heard on KOB that Kennedy had been shot. The Dukes had Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, Ron Cey and (I forget the other good player). Mike Roberts forever, I even liked his voice in ads. Always the Lobos, but good under Norm Ellenberger. "Is it messy? Does Baker's make a shampoo?" The Moriarty guy, the engineer turned announcer, Art (I think, started with a "T", any other day I could think of his name). Another Art was Schreiber. Later, Jay Howard (I was in the Jaycees with him when we were younger) and Jim Villanucci. Rush, even with too much oxy and fake hearing, still the best. Loyal advertiser Rich Ford; liked his morning ads, even after they added Moriarty. Dan Bongino is an okay fill-in at the Rush time slot, and the rest of them are okay too, although I don't have a favorite for the long haul yet. I agree that Darren White was a bad fit. Red-Eye Radio and the Great American on the weekend. Still listening, don't get news as well anywhere else but in my car. The name I forgot was Art Tillery.

I've been listening to Terri Travis on the Weekend! She is a cheerful addition, and a nice change to Politics with interviews that are interesting and informative.

great hosts and good topics.

I'm listening to KKOB for this first time in months and I'm hearing soundbites the last 20 minutes. Seriously? This is what this station has sunk to? I couldn't even tell you who I'm listening to because all I'm hearing are "America's Top Sound Bites". Whatever happened to news and traffic on the 7s?

I am a 30 plus year listener of KKOB. I quit listening this year because of the terrible addition of Darren White (worst talk show I have ever listened to) and the washed up TJ Trout (2nd worst talk show on the planet). If Darren White is really gone.... KKOB is halfway there to getting me (and many that I know) back to loyal listeners. I hope KKOB makes the positive change to regain its status as my #1 station.

I think that poor Darren White simply had the wrong voice qualities for radio. Setting content aside, you just turned him off because his accent and lack of resonance was so off-putting.
-
Darren White on KKOB is the worst talk show host ever. He's been off the air for some time now let's hope it's permanent

Darren White? Maybe he's off the radio permanently now. Maybe he's amping up his pot business? Now that he sells pot, he's all about its health benefits. He says "marijuana is not a drug". Of course, it is... or people wouldn't want to smoke it! He calls himself a staunch Republican, but clearly is not. I've never listened to a radio host so clueless about his own political beliefs.
-
As much as I liked Rush when alive, I do not want to continue to listen to some dead guy. Everything in now OBE.

The EAS SAME Data and the alert two tine don't coming through.

I quit listening to your station months ago because of Darren White. His views are not in line with KKOB listeners. I can't stand listening to the garbage and useless guests White promotes!Let me know when White is gone. I will consider listening again! Until then, thank goodness I have SIRIUS in my trucks!
-
Rest in Peace Rush...

Your station was the perfect place to find the truth until Jim left a few years ago and since then your station has gone down hill except for Rush and Stig and the House of Strouce who you almost never let on now> The afternoon shows are terrible. Darren and Rock & Roll disk jockey are such losers that after 30 plus years of listening I cannot stand your station anymore. It is sad that you have lost your way and are no longer a viable station.

Great and informative station.
-
I am only giving 1 star because that's my only option. I used to listed to your station a few years ago and it was good with radio hosts like the Stig and of course Rush some other great conservatives. I can't tell if I am listening to NPR or KKOB anymore with the likes of the guys on mid-day and White who is just atrocious and a constitutionally illiterate. Where do you go now without Rush? The only good one you have left is Levin. Will you take him off now since you have moved so far left. This is why I listen to The Rock of Talk, where conservatism still matters.
-
Most shows are great. I have to agree with Adam Mitchell that Darren is very rude and it is nearly immoral the way he talks about guests he disagree with AFTER they hang up. Not a good look!
-
I have listened to this station for years now and have never heard someone on the station so rude to people on the other side as Darren is I have been turning hes show off for 8 months now he Pisses me off within 5 min of turning it on.

Absolutely insane, as Neil Covuro cuts off a press conference for reasons that there is no proof, ( after all its been 2 days since the media declared a winner what is taking so long to release all of the irrefutable proof) since when the fuck has that ever mattered to the media. And it's every single station not even covering it, any of it! Disgrace, Instagram Facebook Twitter all unprecedented censorship not even a mention of it. I can't recall but I remember seeing a few things on tv and radio about the president, justice Kavanaugh, I could on with out any proof, but hey let's move forward, that was different. That was only accusing a president of treason but hey I guess it's ok. Are you guys out of your minds ! Nobody cares about censorship? Are you people so disgusting you don't care about the Trump Accountability Project? White do you care about the Trump Accountability Project? Do you? Or are you that skewed!

You can't rewrite the truth by bending lies. As Americans we see through the b.s. the media and the left puts forward as if to alter our perception, but remember, nobody trusts the media..Its been proven in poll after poll. So Darren, stop sounding like the media..We live the day to day reality as Americans..If your gonna say your neutral, be neutral..Don't hide your opinions in talking points when you really have a left of a neutral agenda.
