is the KGO sign still on the xmtr building?

I remember in the Bay Area driving by the KGO transmitter site heading to SF and KQED-TV, from Fremont. This google pix is from Jan, 2025 . . . is this sign still up, in now, May, 2025?
Now that 810 is KSFO?

By the way, my GM car radio ate the KGO signal just fine as I went by the site, no issues heading west at the towers on Hwy 84 . . . but I also had a Motorola car radio in another GM car in 1978 (at the time) and that radio overloaded all over the place when I went on the southside of that pattern., even if it was tuned to an FM station, KGO came in !!!!

well - is the KGO the sign still up???

My guess is that of the few listeners 810 has , none have bothered to drive there to look, considering a third of the 560 listeners didn’t even bother to follow the format migration to 810. What percentage of KSFO listeners driver over the Dumbarton Bridge?
 
What’s even the listener concentration of KSFO these days? Are they scattered throughout the region or are there sizable pockets that would still listen on now 810?
 
Thanks Michael,

they, Cumulus, should donate that sign to the Bay Area Radio Museum & Hall Of Frame.

I recall when we moved back to California in 1977 that sign was . . . out at night, then a number of years later it was back on at night, I guess now it is off at night?

I haven't been there at night since mid-January (when it was still KGO, but simulcasting). The sign was lit then. Have you heard that it's not now?

Looks like some sort of tube wrapped in insulation---like ( @fybush , help! ) what comes out of the back of a clothes dryer.

(Hey, I never got my First phone, okay?)

I've got a First Phone -- lotta good it's ever done me -- but my educated guess is they have one of those portable air conditioners in somebody's office, and that's the heat exhaust for it. Maybe they're keeping Dickey on ice for his triumphant return.
