More weak ratings for San Diego's KLSD 1360

When it was Progressive Talk, all that was heard was how bad the ratings were (despite not being bad at all). But now not a peep as they are now a sports talk station with lower rating than any other in the city of San Diego. So low now that they didn't even show up on the Winter ratings and now they don't show up on the Spring '08 ratings. Clear Channel must be very close to firing their San Diego general manager for this cluster. Actually, I heard the decision to turn the station to sports was made by a San Diego Clear Channel board. Maybe Clear Channel needs to cut some of the fat from their Clear Channel affiliates?

Not a peep about the low ratings when it isn't Progressive. Why does this not surprise me?

just a bit off. I mean KLSD:eyes:
Or is it just me?

I'm not surprised. San Diego, and Orange County for that matter, is such a red hole it's no wonder the ratings are bad.

KGB!

I think it's still on.

It's also an FM station. However, 1360 AM used to bear the KGB call letters. It was owned by Willet Brown, and for years was a Top 40 station which dueled with KCBQ for ratings dominance in San Diego.

It was the first station consulted by Bill Drake after he partnered with Gene Chenault in 1964, and was the prototype for what later became Boss Radio at KHJ in Los Angles in 1965, and spread with mostly small variations to other stations owned by RKO General in San Francisco, Boston, Detroit, New York and Memphis.

switch. I REALLY HOPE the dimwit who made that decision gets fired & the remaining people change the station back!

for that station also. Instead of Randi we now get Johnny Wendel who is not a liberal. He is just stupid. And at night we get Phil Henrie, also not a liberal. Henrie and Wendel kind of scream and complain, but they don't have any really solid information to share. They are just not educated, interesting people. I suppose they appeal to some people, but they are not up to the standard of Thom Hartmann or even Randi. I wish we had Ed Schultz instead of Phil Henrie.

Randi was fine until she became blinded by her huge crush on Obama. I'm not blaming Obama for her excesses. Obama is a pretty tolerant, modest guy. Randi has become utterly intolerant of anyone who doesn't worship the ground Obama walks on. Sorry, I'm too old to worship the ground anyone walks on. I can vote for and support a person without worshiping him. In spite of that, Randi still has some good things to say and I can listen to her. I can't listen to Johnnie Wendel or Phil Henrie. Having them on cuts the station's listener base.

inane voices? I used to have to listen to him far an hour between entertaining shows and I was constantly amazed that so many people could stomach this idiot.

I hope the sports station that replaced it also fails. I am thinking of getting XM or Sirius just to listen to something other than PBS.

They were talking about the Lottery. Winston looked back when he had gone thirty metres. They were still arguing, with vivid, passionate faces. The Lottery, with its weekly pay-out of enormous prizes, was the one public event to which the proles paid serious attention. It was probable that there were some millions of proles for whom the Lottery was the principal if not the only reason for remaining alive. It was their delight, their folly, their anodyne, their intellectual stimulant. Where the Lottery was concerned, even people who could barely read and write seemed capable of intricate calculations and staggering feats of memory. There was a whole tribe of men who made a living simply by selling systems, forecasts, and lucky amulets. Winston had nothing to do with the running of the Lottery, which was managed by the Ministry of Plenty, but he was aware (indeed everyone in the party was aware) that the prizes were largely imaginary. Only small sums were actually paid out, the winners of the big prizes being non-existent persons. In the absence of any real intercommunication between one part of Oceania and another, this was not difficult to arrange.

Another station, even a money loser, talking about 'The Lottery', serves the interests in that it is 'safe'.

If they were looking for profits, obviously the Progressive format does better. Therefore, we know they changed because they are against Progressives, no matter how profitable they are incomparison to th other RW format.

Clear Channel has hundreds of stations to play with, so they don't care. They make their profits elsewhere.
