Bye bye, KFRC-FM

[Hunkey Snarkey]

No  NHR.  No  broadcasting  experience.  lot  of  listening  experience.  voicing  my  opinion,  I  would  gather  to  say  promoting  guys  like  John  mack  Flanagan  and  Bobby  Ocean  is  too  much  for  your  calculator,  lets  see  Ocean  has  45  years  in  radio,  John  mack  Flanagan  since  1964  I  dont  think  you  have  1/2  the  years  these  two  have!  Thanks  kenny  in  Concord

if that is the case, i'm even surprised that CBS Radio would make such a move...would a slow ascent on KCBS' part be ENOUGH for the network??

CBS is profitable.  Quick, name another major radio broadcaster that is profitable.

What ARE you talking about? IF I understand your screed properly, I'd never compare myself to people like Bobby Ocean. I just meant your grammatically challenged complaining has the distinct ring of someone who has no idea of how broadcasting works. Seems I was right.
To use my favorite analogy, watching doctors operate doesn't make you qualified to do it.

Kenny is Whining again. Better send over John Mack or Bobby O to burp him! Kenny, this an A & B conversation, please C your way out of it. Thanks!

Seriously though, KFRC could have been a profit center for CBS, just given a little marketing whether direct mail, TV and Billboards. 1069 had the best in revenue for September next to KCBS. I was beginning to make money in spit of the A's.

You're saying that KFRC out billed KITS and KLLC in September?  The majority of advertising on KFRC is bonus spots used to fill out schedules on KCBS, KLLC and KITS.  Hard to believe that KFRC beat anyone in September.

Sounds like a Sales Rep. for KFRC, that's too bad!

Guys ... please back off the great Kenny from Concord. He's what radio needs more of: passionate listeners who are vocal about what they love.

To use my favorite analogy, watching doctors operate doesn't make you qualified to do it.

And, as I've said before, that logic means that only pro football players should be allowed to have an opinion about the NFL, or that only elected officials should talk about politics.

And please don't equate working in radio to curing cancer. I love radio, too, but seriously...

This is an open forum. Kenny's opinion is as important to the discussion as anyone else's.

hey guys (and gals) - aside from all the "attacks" on Kenny from Concord, this is what this thread comes down to in a NUTSHELL:

another GREAT oldies (ok, classic hits) radio station goes by the wayside in the name of dollars - and who gets hurt? EVERYBODY - listeners, DJs, behind-the-scenes people, the city of San Francisco....it's a LOSE-LOSE....

But i must defend Kenny from Concord - and AGREE with what DJ said - Kenny sounds like a VERY passionate listener - radio should have MORE listeners like that, NO MATTER WHAT THE STATION!!

If Kenny is so passionate maybe he should try broadcast school or an internship program. We need a new generation of broadcasters who love Radio.

[NHRadio]

I have opinions on the NFL too, but I don't pretend to know what I'm talking about and post on football message boards about them. I admire Kenny's passion but I suggest he and others learn about how the radio business works before throwing uninformed statements around.
No one equated radio with curing cancer...don't know where that came from.
Opinions are one thing...pointed criticism of broadcasters and stations presented as the answer to all Radio's problems from someone who's never been behind a mic is another.
