July 2025 Bay Area Radio PPM Ratings

I talked about this on an old thread a long time ago but I'll try to summarize. In KGO's heyday in the 80s/90s they were identical to an all news station 5 am to 9 am, and from 4 pm to 7 pm. Mornings after the news was a moderately liberal personality. At noon for about an hour there was a medical advice program. Then from 1 pm until 4pm there was a moderately conservative personality. The news of course from 4 to 7, and then another conservative personality fro 7 pm until 10pm. Then a more liberal personality from 10 pm until 1 am. Then a relatively "radical" personality from 1 to 5 am.

The station was perfectly balanced and intelligent , which is why many think that the old KGO was one of the nation's finest for its format.

I should add to this post, if memory serves, the station was still owned by ABC during this period.

ABC owned KGO until about 2006, 2007, thereabouts. Then ABC sold all of its radio O&O's to Citadel. They lasted a few years, went bankrupt, and Cumulus picked up the pieces. They themselves had to visit bankruptcy court a few years later.
