I have been unemployed for almost 2 years and your show gave me the hope I needed to keep going and try something new.<br /><br />I think KGO has lost it way, I'm sure Karel has a loyal audience who enjoy his antics, and I use to listen to his show, but I can't listen to it now after listening you and the saturday host.<br /><br />Good luck you and I will catch you on NPR now<br /><br />EricEric Hardinghttp://www.ebharding.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821345570811107481.post-40234409331146717262011-03-23T13:30:18.049-07:002011-03-23T13:30:18.049-07:00Marty-

I am stunned that you have axed a show (Marty Nemko)that was meaningful and provided a real service for your listeners.

Why can't Karel just be on on Sunday only or just shift your show to another day. Isn't there a slot open Saturday 1-4. <br /><br />Thanks for letting all your listeners know why you are no longer going to be on KGO. I received an email from KGO as a subscriber to their newsletter and it was advising me Karel was coming back and posted his new time slot which I noticed overlapped with yours. There was no explanation of what was going to happen to your show and thought it was in bad taste to not mention KGO's decision to replace your show.Maynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821345570811107481.post-5753704265467470272011-03-14T10:47:40.143-07:002011-03-14T10:47:40.143-07:00Marty, will miss your show, especially the last ho...Marty, will miss your show, especially the last hour. <br /> <br />Can't believe KGO is bringing Karel back and losing a quality host like you.

Marty Nemko's show on KGO offers huge support to our students entering the workforce. This is the one show I go out of my way to listen to on KGO and recommend it to many of my colleagues, family members and friends. I have even considered making it REQUIRED listening for our students. With today's economy and high unemployment, Marty Nemko's show is more important than ever!

In these times of unemployment and people having to change careers and retired people returning to work, your expertise has really help many of us. I have nothing against Karel, but we need someone on the radio who can give us hope and advice so we can find employment or even start our own businesses. I hope another station hires you. I am very concerned that KGO does not seem to be concerned with the unemployment problem.

Hope it helps.<br /><br />Dave<br /><br />At a time when tens of millions of people are unemployed, under-employed or worry about losing their jobs wouldn’t it be appropriate to reconsider your decision to cancel Marty Nemko’s show? The stark reality is that unemployment will most likely remain stubbornly high for years and another sharp economic down turn making the job market even worse is a distinct possibility. We are living in the worst economic times since the Great Depression.<br /><br />In this environment Marty’s insight and advice are needed more than ever. No other radio station of KGO’s stature provides its listeners with this type of valuable information which can literally make the difference between being employed or unemployed. And Marty’s insight and advice are applicable outside the world of work. For instance, his advice concerning procrastination and dealing with difficult people has been very beneficial to me in numerous non-career related situations.<br /><br />If it is not possible to keep the show in its current time slot could it be moved to a different one? I have listened to KGO for decades, and I can tell you this long time listener will be deeply disappointed if you <br />go through with your decision to cancel the show. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
