I remember her.

She did have a good show.

Whatever happened, I hope it was good!

The reason she was a part-time substitute host on KBFK and KGO was because she had gone back to school, law school, and got her J.D. She was (and probably still is) a working attorney. So Christine not only doesn't need fulltime on-air work, I doubt she would have the time for it.

If Wikipedia is correct, she's 81 now. My, how time flies. She does pro bono work for animal rights causes. It's not mentioned if she's retired now.

That failed experiment was called Air America; Air 1 is a K-Love product. Clear Channel didn't take the entire lineup; it aired Ed Schultz in afternoons. I can't remember if it bumped the afternoon program to another slot, just carried the refeed in the overnight, or dropped it altogether.

In San Francisco, Air America was set to launch on Inner Cities' 1400 AM before the Clear Channel deal put it on 960. Inner Cities was looking for a new home for the brokered Asian programs they had on 1400 and approached Bonneville about doing a LMA of 1260. The Clear Channel deal killed the LMA before it happened but not before 1260 got a new Nautel in preparation.

On another note, Bonneville didn't have stock so instead of an ESOP they offered employee matches on a 401k based on how well each division was doing, in addition to a traditional pension. KOIT's success meant SF was making record profits and the company was unbelievably generous about sharing them with all of their employees. During the 5 years I was there the company made matches up to 4 and 5 times employees' 401k contributions. Plus they gave everyone a day paid time off each quarter their division reached their profit goals. Plus paid time off for volunteer community service and up to $1000 a quarter match for charitable contributions. Under Bruce Reese it was by far the most generous company I ever worked for and the workplace atmosphere reflected that.

Needless to say I maxxed out my 401k contributions and that plus the pension made for a very nice nest egg when I retired.
