I heard a promo on 95.7 that was bashing the callers. Of course it took pot shots at KNBR saying their hosts come in late for their shifts, don't prepare and put bad calls on just to fill time, their normal KNBR belittling. But then went on about how boring most of the listners are on the air. It said the Game only puts on callers occasionally and only if they are really good.
Trashing your listeners opinions seems like a way to have bad ratings. And it must be working.
