I really wish 100.7 would stop simulcasting 105.7 Latino Mix. No one listens to that station. The ratings are always terrible. 100.7 has such a strong signal...they could put something much better on there. Almost anything would get better ratings than Latino Mix.
That was a surprise. And iHeart '80s got to 3.0
No. It is just that that book is pretty useless, as the data is contained in the San Francisco book (San Jose is an "embedded market" which means it is a subset of a bigger one). So no need to buy the book.
KGO, once the dominant Bay Area station for years, with ratings all the other stations could only dream about, now...a ratings no show at 0.0.
Sad, very, very sad.
Sad, very, very sad.
....but not a lot sadder than the 11 years leading up to this.
Does sports betting register on the the books anywhere it is on air? I feel it is just a cheap place holder like Comedy Radio up in Canada.
Those previous 11 years were A LOT better than the sports betting garbage that's on now. If you look at KGO separately during that time without comparing those 11 years to the previous legendary KGO, it was a pretty decent News/Talk station, and they still had mostly local hosts. I listened to it, as a secondary talk station to KFI. I think all the negativity about it, was that too many people expected KGO to be as great it once was, instead of accepting it on its own merit.
Here's the difference: Comedy Radio doesn't make money in and of itself. Sports betting buys the airtime. The station makes money whether it gets ratings or not.
Your first post was about ratings. That was what my comment was about. Your reply is about content.
KGO was running in the mid-to-upper one shares. A 0.0 is not a lot sadder.
Yes, I thought your reply was about KGO overall, not just ratings. But I don't see how a mid to upper 1 share is as bad or sad as a 0.0. You can't be any worse off than that. Actually, these days for an AM radio station to pull in a mid to upper 1 share, is not bad.
Apart from the fact that you can't make money with it.
I think the sad reality is that KGO has been "off-the-air" for a very, very long time now, even though the transmitter is still operating...Even though you may have agreed or disagreed with him on many issues, Dr. Bill Wattenburg must be rolling in his grave...
As are (figuratively-speaking) Mickey Luckoff, Jack Swanson, Jim Eason, Ronn Owens, Ed Baxter, Rosie Allen, Dean Edell and a bunch of still-breathing others, as well as (more literally) Jim Dunbar, Ted Wygant, Owen Spann, Pete Wilson, Gene Burns, Lee Rodgers and Ray Taliaferro. Maybe Ira Blue too.
I chose Dr. Bill as an example because his being a tech freak, and with that friendly voice he sometimes sounded like a Ham who just happened to have the most powerful rig in the world!
You're kidding, right? 100.7 is a Class A, with a stick 15 miles north of S.F. It only covers a portion of the geographically-huge Bay Area. But it works fine as a signal-extender of 105.7 in San Jose.
