He's here to keep the new KFOG PD from screwing up even further. 
Does the great Lee Hammer get to continue running KNBR?
Here's the full press release:

SAN FRANCISCO--Executive VP and Co-Chief Operating Officers John Dickey and Jon Pinch announced this morning the appointment of radio industry leader Bill Bungeroth as Vice President/Market Manager for Cumulus Media, San Francisco.

Bungeroth was the initial President/CEO and co-founder of the Cumulus radio group. If my memory serves me right, he left the first time Cumulus almost went under due to financial "problems" due to "accounting improprieties" and a resulting class action suit. Both Bungeroth & the CFO departed at that time. Lew became CEO. And the rest is...
I wonder if the stock price will plummet like it did in 2000 after this guy "resigned". Does the board know that this dinosaur is running the SF cluster? Are they going to bring back the CFO from 2000 as well? Someone should alert the Securities Exchange Commission. Maybe this will have the FCC and Department of Justice looking a little more closely to this pending sale.

KUFX's ratings will rise even higher now that they have Big Rick on Entercom's payroll. Now that Rick has left KFOG. and probalby we might see another station flip into AAA and take new listeners away from KFOG if its eminant if Cumulus management keeps screwing up the stations.
