Chris Kidd replies;
There is no new news yet. The takeover date is just after the Oakland A's last game. The new call letters are under lock and key!
My gut feeling is that we will not hear the same old tired national shows that have been dropped by KYCC and other stations. It would not be a compelling station. A company like Infinity does not invest 95 million dollars just to clear programing that is not on in San Francisco.
The real sucess of a new talk station in the City is locally produced programing. You do not have to clear all those national commericals for no money (sell the spots instead) and you can taylor the progaming to the Bay Area.
There could certainally be national programing except I would not expect it to be the showcase of the new station.
Disclaimer: None of the above statements are from any discussions with Infinity management or staff. The foregoing is only my vision if I were in charge of this new facility.
I would develop local talent and provide a viable alternative to KGO.
So Allision-Marie I do not have any inside information. However it was fun thinking about what I would do if I were in charge.
So what about everyone else?
Assuming that 106.9 will be a talk station, how would you program it?
If you beleive that 106.9 will be another format how would you program that format?
I will look forward to reading your visions and replies.

Re: 106.9 FM - If I were in charge!
> So what about everyone else? <<
I wouldn't pretend to program, even with the cart blanche of "if I were in charge," but this is being played close to the vest. New studios are being completed and the goal is to hire large talent, some of it perhaps local. Would a recently fired talent find himself a new home? (Jeez, does that sound like Joel Denver or what?) Don't be surprised if that happens and he brings a co-worker or two with him. That could be the morning show.
Some of the other talents being entertained/negotiated/talked to are mostly names you've heard before. A number of them have had those tryouts down there in Los Angeles but most of them didn't really knock anyone over. That might've been because their acts were either a) cheap imitations of Howard Stern, or b) efforts to sound like Howard Stern because they thought that was what the company was looking for. Wrong.
Blue is for the 25-year-old with callouses on his hand; they're after something older, smarter... perhaps a bit of the Maxim irreverance with GQ intelligence and an empathy for pop culture and lifestyle substance that might captivate a 30-something woman, too.
That's broad enough to sound like a pipe dream but that's the laundry list. Outside of mornings, expect the other dayparts to be solo hosts; no shows, except perhaps the token voice of a frantic producer (and where they are on that part of the hiring process is unknown, but I'd venture not a dent has been made yet).
They may be farther along than the lack of industry news would lead to believe. There just might be a gag order on the hiring process. Best guess: a PD has been hired, perhaps an air talent or two. One can only hope. There really isn't a lot of time left to get all the ducks in a row.
That's all I can tell ya.

Re: 106.9 FM - If I were in charge!But Im Not!
> > So what about everyone else?
As a member in the local media advertising community, I can say...THE DOGHOUSE IS COMING BACK! Many people think they are the fit to the morning show. Not so in this case. Infinity has spent a ton of money to only be able to put them in the afternoons. The morning gig is the question we all wonder. WHO WILL IT BE? I feel they have been leaning to Mancow in the morning. We keep being told a major market "talent" is on the schedule for mornings. We found out about two weeks ago it wasn't the Doghouse. When asked who it may be, they say the "Man" is coming back to San Francisco. He was last here about 10 years ago and we know he will make a major impact on the bay area after the "Wild" stunt he pulled many years ago! Key words here are "WILD" and "Man." He once worked for Wild 107.7 when "Man"-Mancow pulled off the bay bridge hair cut. I understand from the the GSM of Infinity, he will be syndicated from Chicago. So no wild stunts on any bridges in the bay area. That is to be left up to the new talk driven show of the Doghouse. No more music for them, just the local public figures being DOG'D on!

You better hope you're right. If you're wrong ... or if Infinity has indicated one thing to you and then does another ...
1. Your future cred is shot to pieces.
2. Your moderator will stop tolerating any predictions about the Doghouse.

If local, it is intersting that you say you live in Vegas then on your profile.
As for Mancow, Infinity says they have 6 hosts out there ready to replace Stern. Other than Corolla, no one has said who the other hosts are, although the Mancow and David Lee Roth rumors are out there.
If Mancow was one of those hosts, and 106.9 flips soon, I don't find it realistic that Infinity would play the Mancow card early only here in SF before the rest of their "Stern replacement plan" goes into effect throughout the country.
Also, I don't think Infinity would want Corolla and Mancow in the same market, since they would just split the listeners.

Rumor Mill Too Wild for Moderator KM Richards
Moderator, Moderator, Moderator! Seems like you take this gig too seriously! This is the rumor board isn't it? I only pass on what I hear from my fellow sales people. When told by my boss to push national spots to Infinity radio and I ask why, the answer is simple. Mancow, Doghouse and even the Corolla show. When asked what station I'm to push on and the answer is, 106.9 and Live 105! So what do I do, I push the sales. Infinity has been very tight lip with the community. Infinity's outside sales staff, have been placed on a gag order and will not comment on any rumors adrift. I continue to push the national spots to Infinity and yes, they keep buying. The only time slot they wont spend any heavy money on is nights. I think from what I gather through other contracts I've signed, The O'Reilly Factor will be on nights for 106.9. Again, this is the rumor board and the rumors are flying very high here and elsewhere.
As far as the Doghouse, Seems like you don't like the guy's! Maybe they picked on you and you have some residual hate for them! Let's say they are on the afternoons drive with 106.9, are you going to bad mouth the management of Infinity because the Doghouse is there? You are to be neutral with this company as a moderator and because you don't like something in particular, you shouldn't just delete what was said. Let everyone else who reads this board judge for themselves on the validity of what comments are said. That's what makes the rights to free speech we are honored with in America so great! When you cut out or modify what we write, it censors our words and makes all of us on this board feel big brother is babysitting us like we were two year olds. I think we are all mature enough to judge for ourselves on what is factual and what is pure speculation.

Re: Rumor Mill Too Wild for Moderator KM Richards
Let me tell you my problem.
So far, you missed on the KFRC flip. You then took a huge swing and miss on the first 106.9 format rumor, proclaiming then that the Doghouse is back and will be like the old Hot97.
You now come back and say again that the Doghouse is coming back. You are obviously a fan of theirs, so if this again turns up incorrect, you are going to look like nothing more than a shill for that program.
And, if your rumors are true: syndicated Mancow, Doghouse, syndicated O'Reilly, that is one sorry lineup.

Perhaps it should be pointed out again that Mancow isn't being syndicated by Infinity, and, beyond that, the person talking most about Mancow replacing Howard in some markets has been Mancow himself.
That being said, Mancow will be starting in at least two new markets this Monday (October 3): Fresno (Clear Channel's KRZR) and Springfield, MO (KZRQ). Once again, huge first-tier markets. (Snicker.)
If 106.9 is planning to launch this Monday, you'd think that they would want to at least "accidentally" leak some info to the media so that they could get one or two listeners tuning in. Maybe a billboard or two, and a TV commercial ... perhaps even a few teaser promos on Alice and Live 105.
Or maybe they'll actually launch it real quick and stealth-like, and then spend the next six to eight months tweaking and fine-tuning it, which seems to be the way it's done these days.

The Dog House is NOT coming to 106.9 FM...Don't forget, Mr Kohl was in the CC building while they were there and saw firsthand what went down. Do you really think he wants that headache?
They don't even have a PD in the building. They've hired one, but he ain't here yet.
My GUESS would be Late October to November 1...

Amen to that. JV has called to sniff but Mr. Kohl wasn't interested. I doubt that's changed. And no Leykiss, no Mancow, no O'Reilly. They want local programming.
Maybe what's heard in Vegas should stay in Vegas.

Wasn't Ken Kohl very good at programming KSTE before Chancelor bought it? And for awhile after they did? Didn't it get all fouled up after Clear Channel merged with them? Ken is a great choice for programming this station with local talent!

Agreed! There's a MUCH better chance that Mr. Kohl will try to pull away Armstrong and Getty from CC. I'm not putting my own credibilty on the line for that one, just trying to make a point.
Oh hell, they'll probably end up making it a Top40/CHR station!

Re: Rumor Mill Too Wild for Moderator KM Richards
I couldn't agree more. I think Ken will do just fine. He's passionate about radio...No one is perfect and he is far from that, but he knows what he's doing...

He won't pull A & G away from CC at least for the launch, they are under contract. A friend of mine in the business heard Melanie Morgan say today on KSFO that she had been dismissed. A stunt, a divorce in the family, or is she going to work for Kohl? He met with her several times in the last few months.

You're correct, A&G are under contract and considering the fact that A&G are still on the air with CC, we can all rest assured that they will not be part of the launch line up (I was just trying to make a point).
However don't discredit Mr. Kohl, he knows his stuff and I'm sure he's aware of all the in stipulations and/or outs on the A&G contract.<P ID="signature">______________

You know what'd be funny...Now just stop for a second and imagine...
KEAR flips to Hot Talk, mostly local, and for just a while, the bay area local talker gets broadcast on 59 or so 10 watt transmitters all over the U.S. Now that'd be an interesting use of power.
Does Family keep their grandfathering rights on those 59 LP's?
*sorry, I'm still kinda new to the legality/ownership things*

I'm pretty sure all the Family translators are wholly-owned by them, and will be legally pointed at KEDR/88.1 in Sacramento (and still fed by satellite) at some point soon.
