I agree, they need to drop any and all reference to 560. Maybe run a liner...810 is the new home for KSFO, change your presets now.

KSFO To 810

And so? They're doing a simulcast, right? That means the same content on both frequencies.
You're assuming the simulcast is temporary.
That map for 1550 is highly exaggerated. It's barely audible in Mesa. No way does it give coverage into Scottsdale.
830 is another story, withits much superior coverage. But it shows the difference between the (better) lower end of the Ancient Modulation dial and the high end.
Trying not to read too much into this...But does Lance know something we don't.

KSFO isn't going to be on both forever. That's all I know..Trying not to read too much into this...But does Lance know something we don't.

Haven't heard that in a long time: AM: Ancient Modulation. FM: Funny Music.
The very notion that the simulcast would last beyond a transition period was ludicrous, especially for a company looking for cash wherever it can get it. But I didn't want to pursue that argument because it would've gone on forever without concluding anything.
We will know when we know, and whatever it is will likely have minimal impact on the market.
Removal of the KGO AM call letters from 810 has to be a factor here given that Cumulus is branding it as KSFO 810. 560 AM is uncertain.
KSFO has just requested new call letters of KZAC and KGO has requested KSFO with an effective date of 01-01-2025.
What could KZAC mean? In guessing something not worth listening to for me.
They could be clearing more conservative talk like that EIB Limbaugh replacement show.
KZAC? (Does anyone really believe the Bay Area needs another purveyor of third-tier wingnut talk? If you do, KTRB is sitting there, just waiting for your contribution to their cume.)
But seriously, folks--call letters don't need to mean anything. KISQ doesn't spell "Breeze", KIOI doesn't spell "Star", KOSF doesn't spell "Classic Hits 103.7".
I know we're talking Cumulus and not iHeart---but same principle. If you're worrying about call-letter-based branding on AM in San Francisco in 2025, you're working way harder than the people who own the stations.

There’s no way I would contribute to their cume. But nobody is carrying Clay and Bud in the Bay Area. Not that they would get many listeners or that Savage guy.
On another note, the KZAC call letters were on a Sacramento rim shot back in the 90s.
Remember: This is a Cumulus station. They won't carry iHeart shows, and they already fired Savage.
They carry Savage in other markets and are clearing iHeart’s A&G on KSFO.
We'll see next week. If iHeart wanted Clay in SF they could have done it with KNEW.
