Democratic Debate on KKGN......

[radioprince]

Just wondering if anyone tuned in to the debate on KKGN? I didn't know that they carried the debate until I got into my car and pressed the scan button.

I just thought it's sad that it was carried on such a low powered station when the interest of the debate was high. It should have been carried on a high-powered station such as KCBS or KGO, or even KQED!..... Oh wait, they are not CNN affiliates!

What do you think?

I don't think 960 AM is all that low powered. You have to go back a quarter century, but KABL in the heydey of its "Beautiful Music" era was a top 5 rated station on 960 AM.

The CNN affiliation is probably the reason. If CBS had sponsored the debate, it probably would have run on KCBS.

I'm not putting down Clinton or Obama down, but at this point - they're just repeating the same things they've said about a thousand times before in at least a half dozen other debates. Most people who are interested have heard it all before. I watched on TV last night for a short while, but mostly just to see how the two were performing, and if Hillary was going to show the anger and frustration she must be feeling by now with the tide apparently turning against her.

Watching the debates at this point is more like watching a sporting event - to see who is scoring more points. If somebody hasn't figured out the minor policy differences between the two by now, they've been living under a rock, or don't care.

So I don't think that the lack of a high powered radio simulcast makes much of a difference, one way or the other.
