- Scott Landon This is great! Would it be possible to add others that have been lost in the shake up such as Leo Laporte, Bob Brinker and even guys like Mickey Luckoff and Jack Swanson. Would love to be able to contact and/or keep track of these guys to continue to voice my support.

- Former listeners of KGO Radio Newstalk 810 ‎@ Scott, yes I can add Leo and Bob. Officially Mickey and Jack have retired if I understand correctly but if I hear of anything I will add them as well. As you have read, Mickey is negotiating deals now (maybe that is the 910 one?) ~D

- Jill Kuiken Klein re: Gil Gross' real estate program. Went to website and found it is syndicated, also on KLVI 1590am locally, from 8-10am Sat. You do not have to listen to it on 560am. :) http://www.retradio.com/stations.php?state=California

- Tim Bayliss Okay. We DO know that 910 is a Fox news sation, right? Fox! Let's try to get hold of ourselves. As for Ray, it's been a long ride for him. I wouldn't have been shocked if he'd retired soon, anyway

- Aneesh Km
  Is KKSF 910 Fox Radio? I can't believe Gene going to Fox radio. You know Gene and Fox don't really match. Or will it have major change for 910 AM in the Bay Area starting January. Noticed I cannot tune to 910 AM from East Bay. Even fro...m my car.. not just home. If anyone can post the official web site for KKSF 910 AM it will be helpful. I still can't believe it is fox910.com. Hope they will improve the service to all Bay Area cities. Also Is KKSF and KNEW the same?See More

- Former listeners of KGO Radio Newstalk 810 Aneesh, 910 is getting a complete overhaul (except A&G). The other hosts are moving to another station and 910 is changing. ~D
  December 20, 2011 at 10:45pm · 2
- Enid Fox ‎910 is Fox now but 910 will be Clear Channel as of Jan. 3. The 'former' Green 960 will be Fox on Jan. 3

- Brandon McCloskey Umm isn't 560 AM KSFO a Cumulus station?? If we're supposedly boycotting them why would we listen to MoneyTalk on that channel??
  December 23, 2011 at 2:04pm
- Former listeners of KGO Radio Newstalk 810 ‎@Brandon, That's why I listed his website with a list of all of the other stations that carry Moneytalk. 560 just happens to be the local station in SF. ~D

  I just read the article in the pink section of the Chronicle by Ben Fong-Torres I am so grateful to know about this Facebook page... It is a relief to have a place to state my feelings regarding this heartbreaking decision.. and to know ...that I am not the only person upset by this. I have been so worried for all the anchors that were fired. Thank you for this site.. I think any station that hires any of these anchors will see their ratings go up immediately. Many thanks for your time and caring.See More

- Larry Bragg
  ya I left the Bay area In 2002 and listen to ray,Dr.Bill every nite And I live up here on the Canadian Border here In the Wet ,clean,green State Of Washington and It's a shame this has happened KGO was the premiere new's talk.... KOMO they ...up here from 12am to 4 am play the day before special segment's from two different show's but most of the to me both host are doing the same stick. Will Doc Bill show be heard up here in Washington And what new's Media Company will have it ...I heard that one of the main reason's was the new owner's hated Korral.And to get rid of him they fired most of the show Get rid of owen's and bring back Dr. Bill through the year's he was Mr. Fix It and later year's almost went to a daily everything show ...But I really admire his Kindness and Love he had for the young Kid's That Call about science & thing's he was almost or was an expert on..See More
  January 11 at 4:37pm
- Annette Murtagh Also, Kevin the Rat is only doing the end of the hour highlights of the day and they have someoen else doing the other reports? So confusing and stupid.
  January 11 at 4:55pm
- Kay Arnold Listened to KGO for 40 years,,cried when Dr. Dean retired,now I am really up set, It is like mourning a loss of special friends.

- Jeanie Locklear I miss my "friends." So glad that many of them can be found at 910! Thank you for this FB.
  January 16 at 9:34pm

- Laurie Coleman
  This note needs to be updated. Posted by Gil Gross this past Monday on his FB page: "For my friends in the Bay Area classical music community, I've resumed a side job I used to do when I was at ABC News and living in Los Angeles as a corres...pondent for Classical KUSC's "Arts Alive" radio magazine, so if you want to pitch a story for me to pitch to the producer, feel free to message me here. First piece will be with friend Chloe Veltmann whose "VoiceBox" heard here on KALW has been picked up for a run on KUSC with podcasts at KUSC.org."See More

- Annette Bolton Awesome...thank you!

- Connie Costa Love these guys on 910! The morning guys not so much. The morning is too right wing for me. I hate Rush Limbaugh!!!!!!!!!!
  February 23 at 3:51pm · 1
- Diane Holt
  Ditto, Connie. I tuned into 910 and when I heard Rush, I couldn't stomach it. So glad to hear that Gene and Len have work but I can't support 910 with Rush there. Don't know if they have any other right wingers. Sounds like it might be ...changing though, possibly losing Rush and the RW bent? Then, I would definitely listen. I miss all the guys and gals being together very much. Lloyd too !!! Thanks so much for this "former" site and the updates.See More

- Alan Mande any word from christine craft?
  March 17 at 9:03am
- Francoise Boden
  I just don't listen to Rush Limbaugh, but I listen to Len, and Gil and John R. do a lot of fill ins for Gene Burns in the afternoon. Armstrong and Getty in the morning are a bit out there. Sometimes they are funny. Anyone knows how KGO is f...aring with their new format. Have they lost listeners or they have replaced us with new ones? Is there a place to find ratings of the radio stations? Also, lastly, is the band for 910 not as strong as KGO? Usually after 6pm I only get static and have to quit listening. Or is it because I live out in Brentwood?See More
  March 18 at 6:21pm
- Paul Gollin My nights were filled with wonderful news and information from Gene and John. Now.... silence. I used to live in the SFO area but now I live in Sandpoint, Idaho. The old KGO was a national and international station. Now it's pretty much all local stuff. Good one, Cumulus. Way to cut down your market.
