I used to be a KGO listener since I was in high school in the 80s. From what I've read, KGO has lost listeners almost all across the board. I'd still listen to Gene Burns and John Rothman if they did a podcast. I've been a big fan of Adam Carolla's podcast as of late. He seems to be making money.<br /><br />@Boinkity_BoinkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821345570811107481.post-88023227435798380002011-12-02T17:24:21.664-08:002011-12-02T17:24:21.664-08:00Marty, KGO's move doesn't make sense. Whil...Marty, KGO's move doesn't make sense. While KGO is losing listeners, it is still among the most popular radio stations in the Bay Area. If there was a huge erosion in overall radio listenership across the board, why didn't KGO's smaller sister station, KSFO, go under first?<br /><br />I think Internet radio will only succeed on a subscription basis. If the radio hosts I enjoy went to an online only format, I would pay a monthly fee to continue to listen.<br /><br />Maybe free terrestrial radio will morph into a proving ground for new talent. Once they generate a following, they jump to the web a la Howard Stern and start charging a fee.Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821345570811107481.post-83508424126425035912011-12-02T16:28:04.148-08:002011-12-02T16:28:04.148-08:00They tried this in San Francisco a while back.

It only lasted a couple of years.<br /><br />This news with KGO is a big surprise. I can't imagine it will last long, unless it beats out the other local news station.Jeffriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825446029146582339noreply@blogger.com
