[disclaimer: i have arthritic fingers - thus no caps]
i just received an email from kgotalk radio - the station just announced that it is changing it's format from talk radio to more "news". more here...
and sagebrush bob did a diary on this last nite- i'm glad i missed it, wouldn't have slept at all!
the sfgate story about the shakeup is here - and it is a big one for progressives, liberals and democrats!
two months ago, kgo was purchased by citadel broadcasting, the second largest "owner" of radio stations in the nation (clearchannel is #1, followed by cumulus media). citadel broadcasting was given conditional provision to merge with cumulus media on sept. 15, 2011.
why is this important? and, trust me, it IS important!
the format of the station is changing in the year running up to the 2012 election by removing the only moderate to progressive talk show hosts from the air, THAT is why it is important!
follow me beneath the squiggle for more details!
