DISQUS

Brian · 3 months ago

Wow you guys just shot your company in the head with a "dumb f*ck" bullet. Savage put you on the map. I listened to that guy well before he got prime spot on 560. He must have put one of the owners in their place. Maybe they didn't like him always talking about England since that happened, dunno. KNEW's decision makers should be fired. Savage will be back, and I'll never ever ever ever ever turn on KNEW again. Seriously bad choice.

That is exactly what I told my girlfriend today. Dr. Dissident put them on the map. What the hell. I have banned 910 from being on anymore, because of the stupid station manager (who looks like a meat head by the way). I am tuned in now to 650. Retards.

Meat Head · 3 months ago

Hahaha! Good description of the station manager. I bet it's a stock image though.

na · 3 months ago

Really? Name calling the manager? Name calling is for the lefties who just scream someone's stupid, a bigot, or racist because they can't back up their opinions with more than their feelings. The reason that Liberal talk radio doesn't work. We're better than that people. Grow up.

Name · 3 months ago

"Name calling is for the lefties...." How silly. Radio and cable TV which is slanted either way always says stuff like "lefties/Republicans/conservatives/libs/whatever" always do x or say y. Generalizations are so lame, on both sides.

You and conservative hosts who paint "lefties" with a brush like that are just as guilty as the liberal hosts who say the same things about conservatives. Take it from a moderate (me) who listens and watches both sides in pretty equal measures.

Getting back to the topic: I enjoyed Savage. Bummed to see him go. But I also lived in LA for over a decade and used to listen to John and Ken. They're pretty good too. On balance, I think Savage was more entertaining.

na · 3 months ago

I agree with you fully that generalizations are lame and both sides do call "names", but I beg to differ on it being the same. I've been hearing everybody from the lefty rabble to some prominent Democarats (however, in fairness probably much is just your crazy fringe people) claiming that opposition to Obama is because of racism. Wasn't it just Bloomberg the other day who said his problems weren't his incompetence, but racism and that Obama would be next?

While the "name calling" on the right of Marxist or Socialist actually does fit the agenda being pushed. It may be taken as a derogatory "name" being called, but it's actually an accurate description. Whereas I strongly disagree that this sentiment against Obama is race based.

Liberal talk radio is doing just fine thank you very much.Why not tune into 960 and check out Ed Shultze? Thom Hartman was on Talkers Magazines Top Ten,he is probably the smartest guy on the radio these days.If one only listens to people they already "agree" with,how will they ever learn anything? PEACE

log · 3 months ago

If liberal talk radio is doing just fine, then why have the democrats been trying to find ways to "level the playing field?" You know... fairness doctrine, FCC backdoor, etc.

Arguably there is a much smaller audience for liberal talk radio. Ed Schultz and Thom Hartmann each have cume's in the range of 2, which would more accurately rank them as #20 or 25. Savage has a 9, and the Golfer and Wallbanger have 15 and 14. Didn't the heavily funded Air America go bankrupt?

Talk radio is the ALTERNATIVE to the mainstream media. That's why it is predominantly conservative. And that's why KNEW needs Savage. They can hear softball, polite commentary made by people afraid of losing their jobs everywhere else in the media. What makes Savage unique is that he thinks the truth is more important than his job or handlers. THAT is what makes the show special.

SS · 3 months ago

Yup, liberal radio will never make as big a splash as the right wing chatter that's been on the radio for years ala M. Savage and others. The reason is simple: the radio audience on the left will never become hardcore "true believers" where idiocy, rage and outright lunacy can take root. Liberals don't know what to believe in, while conservatives believe everything they're told - and are willing to kill or be killed for it.

log · 3 months ago

Let me exercise my "lunacy" and say you are an idiot if you think that liberals don't know what they believe in. Here is the list:

1. Amnesty for illegals (i.e. line-jumpers)
2. Empathy for Terrorists and criminals
3. The ACLU is in it for the common good (yeah, right)
4. Love of the 1st Amendment when it protects pornography and gangsta rap.
5. Hatred of the 1st Amendment when it applies to talk radio they disagree with
6. That the conservative belief that the government needs to cut expenses, not increase social programs equates to violence, even though none has occurred
7. Socialized healthcare should be implemented at the expense of middle America, even when the Dollar is almost broke, the government is printing money like crazy, and the national debt (mostly to China) is at 12 Trillion (Try dividing by 300 million citizens).
8. That they're not communists, even though most have not read the communist manifesto.
9. Disagreement with any minority equates to racism (maybe this only applies to the Jimmy Carter types).
10. America is evil.
11. Good is bad, and bad is good.
12. Parents do not have the right to discipline their kids.

I, of course am on the other side of these arguments. "True believers" is just a negative spin on belief in principle. I say that man who believes in nothing IS nothing. Hey buddy, that's you!

Talk radio is a discussion forum that thrives based upon the naked intellect and logical arguments that a person can make. And yes, a strong belief in principles and sometimes anger are required. It is quite different than the evening news or the newspaper, where the opinion is subliminally handed to people who "don't know what to believe in," and take it in like morons.

I'm curious where this "kill or be killed for it" stuff comes in. Don't you recognize this as a cheap argument trick? Who's "killing" or "being killed"? That came out of your mouth, my friend. I'm talking about the national debt and healthcare; this guy's talking about "kill or be killed for it." Get real.

Name calling is not bad. If it were, I'd never listen to the savage nation. Now, name calling as the sole argument or rebuttal... that's bad. I believe that most people here have given reasons for their disgust with 910KNEW, whose recent decisions defy logic.

At this point in history, that's all we need... a little more "sensitivity," as Dr. Savage would say sarcastically.

I must agree. The KNEW boys just made an idiotic decision. Savage did put them on the map and now they are trying to take themselves off the map. We already have a duo of wishy washy pseudo conservative talk show hosts on in the morning. We don't need another pair in the afternoon. Savage provided an edge to this station. The edge is now gone.

Mark Levin was beating Savage in his time slot. Now Mark will slaughter these two buffoons.

KNEW, a once ballsy station has taken off it's jock strap and pulled on a pair of panties.

Good luck with that.

Pddizzle · 3 months ago

Right on the money, Brian. I've was listening to Savage when he was on 560 and when he was booted there they went from #1 to the bottom. If i'm correct 910 went from the bottom to the top when Savage joined and this is how the station manager repays him. I guess Savage was right when he says in times like these "you know who your friends are". What a cowardly excuse "we want someone local" and put someone on the air from LA!!! Savage is also on live on the 840 in Modesto.

SAVAGE NOW ON AM 650 KSTE!! If anyone is having trouble tuning in 650, I recommend purchasing a TERK AM-1000 (Advantage) passive loop antenna. This thing is amazing and really helps pull-in and clarify 650's signal in the San Jose area. I bought mine on Amazon.com for just over 30 bucks. COME ON 2010 ELECTIONS!!

I won’t pretend to speak for Dr. Savage, but who doesn't apologize and make mistakes? Thanks for keeping this post alive; now back to Savage on KSTE!

So you still have Glenn Beck, Rodger Hedgecock, Schnitt - plenty of red meat there. The only real change in your "new attitude" line-up is that you are dumping Savage. I don't buy your explanation - something obviously happened with Savage that you aren't telling. And as for your desire to be more "local" - Savage is from SF, the new guys are from LA - how is that "local"?

What an incredibly bad and ignorant decision to remove Savage. I am almost speechless. My KNEW days are done. By the way, A&G have become way to the left for my tastes, especially Jack Armstrong who seems to have become a very angry, narrow-minded, left- supporting figure ever since his marriage....very curious. I will not listen to them any longer with Savage gone.
Savage said that this would happen, and here it is. People just can't handle the truth. Although I do not always agree with him, he does make me think. I have learned much from him and will miss the company on my drive home and the continued listening at home. I am in total agreement with other comments regarding bringing some LA land boys on board. ARE YOU NUTS??????????? Shame on you and your station for this hideous debacle. Apparently, you are NOT listening. No guts, no glory.

Bye Bye 910 · 3 months ago

I agree totally with your assessment of Jack Armstrong. I started turning him off ever since he chewed out Vince on the air (when Vince was gone). He reacts knee-jerk left most of the time, he shouts down and dumps very intelligent and informative callers, and he dismisses almost everyone he does not agree with, calling them "nut-jobs" prior to a cursory analysis of their arguments (e.g. Rev. Manning and anyone who questions Obama's records). His intellect and attitudes have grown very shallow over the last couple of years. F him and best of luck to Joe Getty (who I still like).

Bottom line: Whoever gets Savage gets my listenership.

@Bye Bye 910 - Wow I think you are dyslexic - A&G dump interlligent calls and Savage has an open mind?!? Savage is the guy with the caller volume control - he mutes anyone who doesn't kiss his @$$. I am so glad Savage is going.

JW in SF · 3 months ago

Savage keeps callers on topic and engages them with intelligent and relevant questions... AND he is more patient with them than I would be, sometimes he gives people 3 tries... they ignore him and start shouting or pushing some agenda... he cuts them off, and rightly so. It's his show, you call to discuss a topic with him not to preach to his audience.

na · 3 months ago

What show are you listening to? I've only heard maybe two decent arguments with callers since I started listening a couple years back. I liked his show, but all he does is insult and hang up on callers. That part isn't cool.

TP in SJ · 3 months ago

I have been listening to Savage for years and have heard many interesting discussions. He will only talk to people that can back up their argument with facts or intelligent thoughts. He does not waste his time with boneheads that don't know what they're talking about. While he is abrupt, it's refreshing to listen to someone who has the courage to be honest. It's what makes his show worth listening to day after day.

na · 3 months ago

Awe, come on. Jack's fun when he rants. I can see how he took Vince's comments that way. If I'd said that to my boss in front of a whole company meeting, he'd have probably said a lot worse to me.

Ultimately, you can see Joe having a better hidden, but meaner streak. Sort of the kid who was bullied, but now has the power. It sneaks out from time to time. Not to say there's anything wrong with that; I'm sure he's a very nice guy. The two have produced one heck of a show and they don't need to put up with any !@#$ if they don't feel like it. Though it does annoy me when they just rant at people, which seems to happen more lately.

Personally, I find them best together naturally, but I like the shows Jack does alone better. He tends to be less focused but more direct in his comments and he also brings in Scott and Marshal more, while Joe just talks. If nothing else, Jack is the Castelo to Joe's Abbot. As a team they just work.

Rich C · 3 months ago

You're right on the money........Jack has brought the show down quite a bit the last couple of years. The show used to be more varied, thought-provoking with more in-depth political analysis, but now it can be more like the Jerry Springer show and sometimes they'll take a completely "dead horse" and beat it into hamburger. I find myself tuning out more often than not lately, and even my wife, who was a devoted fan, rolls her eyes in disgust as she changes the channel on a regular basis. Lee Rodgers on KSFO is more often our early morning listening than A & G. Since I live in the foothills, KSFO reception was marginal until I purchased a CCrane passive booster antenna. This might be a good strategy for you listeners in the Bay Area to be able to bring in KSTE 650 AM more clearly.

Okay, now you have some real market feedback from so many (potentially past) listeners --- what are you going to do: A) Admit it was a dumb idea and take him back; or B) Ignore your loyal listeners and run the station into the ground? In the meantime, I'm going to check out 650.

That guy was Michael Savage, and I never again tuned into KSFO.

Hey Mr. Teller of Truth. You can't name one example of a lie that Savage has told. Making a broad statement is easy, because you have no intention of backing it up.

When Savage shines a light on phony "truth tellers" like yourself, you run like rats in a flood!

Doug · 3 months ago

Good day,

I am not a local, I live in Tennessee. I was first tuned in to Michael Savage on my way to work and happened to be flipping through the radio dial. I listened for five minutes and turned him off. The next night, same situation, same radio host, but as I soon found out, it is extremely derelict to limit him to just that, a radio host. Orator, polemicist, chef, observer, author, eccentric, intellectual, different and stimulating just to try to be succinct. I have been hooked ever since, and have been a daily visitor to your website and used your podcast service as I work third shift and can no longer listen live, which I did, via your website.

Many on this website have commented on how brash a decision this must have been and how neatly your station has made this look. but just from the words, "have decided to go in a different philosophical and ideological direction," this tells me that this was not off the cuff as some might think. Clearly, like so many of our pitiful elected officials, you have forgotten how you got here, by us. We are your agent. We like the programming, we keep listening, you get ratings therefore you get advertising dollars and publicity. Otherwise, you serve your own interests, clearly stated in your "answer," and you suffer. I don't understand. WE don't care about your politics, your views, your philosophical discourse. WE know what WE like. WE don't care about YOU insofar as, your continued commitment to providing us with a service or entertainment value we have come to rely upon from you and your station.

I have learned that through Talk Radio Networks, I can get this podcast, although the $5.00 monthly access fee is assessed, it will be much easier for me to swallow. I would rather pay a nominal fee to get what I want, than to visit your "more stimulating" website and ingest its garbage for free. I do hope, for your businesses success' sake that you have a change of heart. This nation, especially in the shape that it is in, cannot afford another business to go under economically, but is cannot especially endure the silencing of more dissent when it is needed the most.

Well IF (and that's a BIG "IF") you are really listening, please hear this LOUD and CLEAR: Your listenership is going to TANK without Michael Savage....I have listened to the Savage Nation since his days at KSFO, and yes, he's controversial, and yes, he can say things that tick people off....but THAT was the "draw" that kept more and more people listening. He is so genuine and un-polished, so UNLIKE the many other talk show hosts out there....and that endeared MILLIONS to him (me included). Michael Savage is a local Bay Area man, he often talks of his experiences here, etc. And I am CONVINCED that there are other reasons why you removed him from your lineup. A BAD business decision, sir, and I can only hope that another WISER station will pick up his show so we in the Bay Area (Savage's original listener base) can continue listening to him. So sorry to see him dumped so unceremoiniously by KNEW.......Hmmm, I wonder if certain "interests groups" put the thmbscrews to you to force you to dump Savage? This is such a wrong-headed business decision, you would think this station "KNEW" better! (Pardon the NOT-so-subtle Pun!)

What a huge mistake, KNEW was a complete unknown till Mike Savage came along.

Your "New Generation of Talk" will not save you as intelligent Americans who spend money do not want phoney conservatives and phoney corporate talk. You give us light-weights like Glen Bleck, O'Reilly, "John and Ken" (are you ##&$&$& kidding me), etc. and "educated-derelict" completely empty and void, just like TV.

Michael Savage is shinning example of the real American spirit, an entrepreneur, a teacher, a learner and perhaps the most gifted American orater and debater ever to be heard by vast numbers of people, setting a prime example of what is possible with ones life!

And now you geniuses (genii) have decided to go the other way! HUH?????

It is in-comprehensible - it is a smoking brain-fart, that what KNEW is.

The bottom-line, at best you will sink back into obscurity, and more likely you will be knocked out of existence when Savages emerges on *** another local bay area station ***!

You have lost another one!

I am mad as hell and can’t take it any more! I am going through withdrawal since KNEW pulled the plug on Michael Savage. He kept me sane on my long commute home at night.

Last week, the station manager posted a fake and conspicuously anonymous message stating that the station was going in a new philosophical and ideological direction “featuring more contemporary content and more local information”. What a load of crap! What does that mean? That you are no longer a conservative talk radio station? There is nothing more contemporary than discussing today’s news in an intellectually stimulating way. There is nothing more local than talking about the Bay Area and San Francisco as only someone living here could do. That is what Michael Savages has provided for us, the listeners, for years.

It’s interesting to read the posts on this blog. The most hateful messages are from those that accuse Dr.Savage of hate-filled ranting, call him a racist and say that he's anti-this or anti-that. Only folks that have never listened to him would make such false accusations. His only prejudice is against stupidity and any ideology that is anti-American. It’s extremely ironic that the so-called “liberal”-thinking Bay Area spouts tolerance for everything except an opinion that differs from its own and are the most blatant oppressors of freedom of speech.

We are ALL doomed if the day comes where we are told what to think and are only allowed one opinion. What is thought-provoking or interesting in that? That is not what our forefathers had in mind when they created our constitution. Without conservative talk radio there would be nothing left to listen to except the same old blah, blah, blah of the network news telling us what THEY think we should know – The Reader’s Digest, Disney version of the news.

Michael Savage is the most interesting man on radio – or any other media outlet - whether you agree with him or not. I hope there is some remaining sanity in this beautiful spot that we are blessed to live in – The Bay Area – and some intelligent radio executive that still believes in freedom of speech will see the benefit of having a guaranteed minimum of 10 million listeners and pick up The Savage Nation. We need to keep this national treasure LOCAL. This is where we need him the most.

I was in such a panic on my commute home b/c I did not hear Savage's familiar voice. I am literally dumbfounded by this "decision." Please tell the truth, why dump your go to guy!??! Savage is truly one of a kind, NO other radio talk show host can compare on an intellectual and entertaining basis. I am in a panic trying to find him and pray I receive a strong enough signal from 650 KSTE! If anyone else finds a better signal with Savage, please post ASAP!

Savage I am following you!

ObOhhhhh · 3 months ago

Elizabeth I know exactly the panic you experienced. When I found out he was taken off air I panicked too. That was very early on the 11th. At that time I tried to post but the bonehead program director (former future unemployed type soon I'm sure) blocked his emails. I tried again today and posted under ObOhhhhh. Thank God I had the presence of mind to utilize my computer to find an alternate. This has been the talk of the town here in Jacksonville. Thanks for the post.

Your "logic" is ridiculous. Savage talks about San Francisco and the Bay Area all the time. How much more local can you get?
These guys from LA have been talking to Jack and Joe for 10 minutes are ruining this segment of the morning show.
This is the worst decision you've made since you put on the certifiable nutcase Glen Beck. Listeners are going to abandon ship in droves.
Poor Jack & Joe. At the rate this station is going, their great show is not long for this world.
Can someone please post here where to find Savage now? The boneheaded program director said he wouldn't be censoring these comments. Let's see...
Other that checking up on this request, 'bye.

ducatisp · 3 months ago

I can say with certainty my listening to 910 has been reduced to the Rodger Hedgecock show. I really do miss the Dennis Miller show, which I listened to daily. I also listen to The Savage Nation daily. I am not sure that whoever is in charge of decision making at the station is actually listening to the programming, now it is truly lacking in mature substance.
I find Armstrong and Getty immature most of the time, it is very hard for me to listen to them continuously. Their show is about three hours too long! Rob Black is not good radio, I find him boring almost every time I decide to listen. I was listening to other stations most of the day, until Savage came on.
Poor choice gentlemen, I hope you find what you are looking for. I will.

1650 comments, and no response form John Scott? John, if this decision came from Clear Channel, they are sacrificing your reputation as a form of market research; they want to see what the public reaction would be if they followed Mark Lloyd's diversity and localism preferences. Now they know that they would lose much of their audience. If this truly was your decision, you deserve all 1650 comments and should be fired.

i've listened to most of 910knew shows on here but savage nation was my favorite i've heard it everyday for years. i am finished with your station. its very foolish to drop the best show in your line-up even if the other shows are jealous of him. i wish you all luck with your new group of clowns you get for an audience.

Joan · 3 months ago

I was bereft when Dennis Miller was taken off KNEW, and now I can't believe Dr. Savage is gone, too. Did the Left's "Fairness" Doctrine advocates object to hearing so much of the truth from these two excellent talk show hosts?

As a native San Franciscan I loved hearing stories about The City from Michael. It's disheartening - first, England puts him on an outlaw list, then his own city bans him from the local airwaves. Our country and most of those in charge are dooming us to ruin.

George · 3 months ago

So your new ideological and philosophical direction does not fit with Savage. Then that means you don't support: borders, language, American culture, freedom of speech, traditional family values, the 2nd amendment, honesty, bravery, sacrifice, US armed forces, the police, welfare of animals, environmental protection, and an unequaled passion for never backing down when fighting for what you know is just and right in the face of an overwhelming and omnipresent onslaught of immoral, corrupt, degenerate liberal ideology. You dropped Savage. Now I drop 910KNEW. I will find Savage on another Station and I won't won't look back.

Where's the tolerance of the so-called liberal left? I thought they believed in tolerance, and diversity. Reality: If you don't tow the line of their intelligentsia, with heard mentality, and irresponsible thinking, they shout you down or pull the mic. They get away with this by slurring *you* as being the biggot. They just don't want you to be independent, so that they can be in charge. They want you enslaved to drugs, alcohol, lustful thoughts, perversion, debt, and the government, so you're powerless, and no threat to them. Then, they can laugh at you - when they themselves hold conservative views - They rule by disabling you, by exploiting base emotions, and human weakness. One talk show host in a sea of liberal media, and this is too much for them - A small number of people at the UN seek to rule the masses. Pulling Savage makes me more confident in my conservative views now. Thank you libs. I am off to KSTE. May God Bless America.

theAnticlown · 3 months ago

There is little doubt that they were pressured by the so called "liberal" fascist infants of our time.
You see, the THOUGHT POLICE cant win in the arena of free thought and ideas, so now they are resorting to the Stalinist method of stifling all dissenting points of view. Unable to out-argue and out-debate Savage, Limbaugh and Hannity, liberals are hoping to silence them—once and for all.

Conservatives tend not to cry, like the infants residing in the "liberal" crib cage. Conservatives simply take their patronage elsewhere. They simply change the dial setting on their radio or tv, and this is evidenced by the fact that the infants cable "news" outlets have had their ratings slammed, while the only semi-conservative outlet (Fox) trumps them. This is also evidenced by the fact that their newspapers are operating on the verge of bankruptcy, while the conservative and semi-conservative counterparts are doing fine. This is also evidenced by the fact that conservative talk radio dominates, while the few "liberal" stations are still sucking eggs. The conservative
people (more than even they realize) certainly know where the rubbish is emanating from, and are rejecting them and their rubbish, and the infants just cant stand it.

Fascism is not "progression". FASCISM IS A DESPERATE ACT BY INADEQUATE LITTLE "MEN" AND INADEQUATE LITTLE "WOMAN" (personal quote).


Just look at some of the infantile remarks made in this thread. The lunatics use words such as "hate", as if hating something is in-and-of-itself a bad thing. Now, it has become obvious that some do walk around as emotionless ghouls, but one would have to be blind to not see the utter hatred directed toward conservatives that is MOTIVATED on little more than their inadequacies and jealousies...not indignation. It is also exhibited by the use of words such as "bigot", because they have yet to conceptualize the fact that some 'can be' a better American, just as some can be a better person than others.

...the "liberal" crib cage.

I might not always agree with Dr. Savage, but the man makes you THINK! If you decide to have a spine let us know the real reason you let him go.

It's one thing for a company to make a stupid business decision that ticks off it's customers. It's a whole other deal to spit in their faces while doing it. I only listened to KNEW sporadically, as I listen to him on 650 out of Sac normally (A&G's original station btw). I won't bother tuning 910 on my bay area trips anymore.
I can only hope that they pissed off Mike and he gave them the finger. He didn't mention it today, who knows if/when he will.

By the way. The excuse that Savage wasn't "local" enough is a huge pile of manure. He's always talking about local issues, local restaurants, the beautiful SF bay, the glory of the fog creeping in. And you get 2 shallow monkeys from **L.A.**? L. freakin' A? Worst. Station Manager. Ever.

How about getting rid of the Program Director instead of Michael Savage? Michael Savage was the ONLY reason for listening to 910! Before he came to 910 you had nothing worth listening to. And now again you have NOTHING worth listening to.

And you seriously try to sell us on the idea that two clowns from LA are going to provide more local content to San Francisco and Northern California than Miceael Savage? You already failed wiht Dennis Miller, The "Spin Meister Oreilly, and so many others.

The good news is that for you "Political Correctness" will drop your ratings to what they were before you added Michael Savage.

No more Michael Savage ??? he is the reason I listen in the afternoons. He is very local and talks about the SF Bay area and All. I live Here. Week excuse for getting rid of him.
I Love his detailed explanations and history of politics current and past along with his no nonsense philosophy on life and all. He brought color to the current events whether I agreed or not with him. He made me laugh when he gets passionate because I could visualize a real man expressing his real feelings articulately.

Tried to listen to the new show John & Ken and it doesn't do much for me. Very Weak, From LA, how is that local? LA is a different country...

I'll miss Savage, He is an Icon for our country and it was a HUGE Mistake to cancel his show. Maybe the exec team at KNEW should take the stated missinformation they provided as to why and tell the truth !!

YOU just LOST a loyal listener as I am in the bay area...NO more KNEW I'm done.

I have more time to do other things now than listen to KNEW.

I listen to your station because of A&G, Glenn Beck and Michael Savage. If you’re going to cut someone you should cut Rob Black. Nothing against him but I don't believe he fits into your programming unless your moving away for a conservative type listening base. Your making a huge mistake cutting out Michael Savage, as I will be looking elsewhere to follow savage and maybe even better programming form another station. I’m sure I won’t be the only one. Especially given what is happening in this country. That is unless you are scared of the present administration in the White House and are trying to position your station as being neutral. You guys are cowards That is not what we need right now in this country. You should be supporting and getting behind Mr. Savage not running away from him.

eparker · 3 months ago

Antonio · 3 months ago

Don't know who's really "listening". I will say that I am a 36 year old black male from Richmond, California that has been a loyal fan of your station for the last 6 years. I was drawn to your station by your advertisements of Michael Savage. Once there I became a fan of your entire line up. Though many host and shows I've like have come and gone in that time. The split with Michael Savage and your reasoning for it, in my opinion is crap. I never expect to get the real reason but the terms "no-spin", "contemporary content" and "local information" all seem to be code words to me. There is nothing "local" to me about a new show based in L.A.. Taking nothing away from your new hosts I greatly appreciate what Michael Savage brought to the table on my local airwaves. Being based in Bay Area he saw what I saw and could broadcast it to the nation. I respect his long view on history and dismissal of trivial "entertainment news". I think to often in our society it is habit to "dismiss" the more "senior" view of what is going on in our culture. At 66 years of age Dr. Savage brought that to the table for me in a way that was both entertaining and enlightening. Aside from that, his considerable intellect and accomplishments in a wide range is to be respected. In short, I believe this move on your stations part is one of fear. Be it the specter of the "Fairness Doctorine" or the challenge of media ownership and more "local content on the airwaves". I think you sold out but i think I understand why you did it. So for all it's worth...I said my piece.

Grenadine · 3 months ago

OK, I've got it figured out. Since no radio station could actually be so stupid as to take its most popular show off the air, Savage must have raised his syndication fees. This makes sense becuase he is more popular now than ever, plus he has attracted international attention with the UK thing. More power to him.
910 will pay for being so cheap. Whatever station picks him up for afternoon drive time will increase their listenership by 100%. And Savage will be laughing all the way to the bank.
"More stimulating"? Try: "more like the morning, only less good. Oh, and from L.A."

Hi Grenadine -- BUT they also took off Roger Hedgecock in the evenings and put on Bill Handle???? That really upset me and I'm now turning off 910 and listening to my conservative talkers online instead. 910 is a WIMP. Afraid of the liberals shutting them down! It's disqusting.

Are you guys out of your minds? You dump Savage for some damn LOS ANGELES guys?! What next, your traffic reporters will start saying "the" in front of our highway numbers? Are you going to carry Dodger's games now, too? (Yet you keep that boring, dry Rob Black show).
Well, here is one listener who will tune out at 3:00PM as I have after 10:00AM.

PowerFiler · 3 months ago

Although Savage is an arrogant guy who always cuts off his callers, and his views I don't often agree with, I do (did) enjoy listening to his show. Looks like I'm going to back to KSFO.

On the other hand, dry as Rob Black is, he is awesome at explaining financial stuff and how it relates to everyday joes like me. Keep Rob Black on, for sure.

RICH C · 3 months ago

This isn't the best programing decision I've seen in my 25 years of listening to the various AM radio talk shows out there. I began listening to Savage shortly after he began his career as a local talk show host on KSFO in SF and was hooked immediately. He had a fresh style, and his manner of presenting his show format was impressive. The guy wasn't merely a talk show host, he was a carnival barker, a comedian in the style of Henny Youngman and Jackie Mason and a man who studied botany and epidemiology and spoke to the politics of the day through this lens in his minds eye. This made for some innovative and spirited monologues that earned him an reputation as an extreme right-wing talk host, yet his style for me has been more of an iconoclast rather than an idealogue. I enjoy his stories and the way he incorporates the lessons he learned in his own life to the situations of the day and who can't help but identify with lessons learned in childhood? When he spoke of his adventures and mis-adventures, it recalled my own memories of such experiences and often found myself laughing uncontrollably as I listened. I disagreed sometimes, and he often made me mad as hell, but he always made me think. Sure, he rightly criticizes Obama for his ventures into national insanity, but he also criticized Bush with an equal amount of energy for his mistakes. Michael Savage is an important cog in the wheel of political debate and while his style can be flawed at times, I'll be the first to rally to his
cause. But, bottom line, I won't listen to the "two talking squirrels", John and Ken. They're pretty much pablum radio to me, so sayonara, KNEW. Oh, watch out out, with your new program schedule, your new new call letter may soon be: KPEW!

longlivethesavagenation! · 3 months ago

I stopped listening to KNEW the very same day they dropped Savage. Just logging in to write this farewell note since I've been very busy.
I started listening to KNEW after seeing a billboard on highway 101 displaying a strange face, OUR flag, and the "Savage Nation in 910 AM KNEW", about two years ago. Curious about what it was all about, I tuned in and I was hooked to the Savage Nation and KNEW. From 3 PM until midnight I listened daily as Savage, Rusty Humphreys and Lars Larson delivered wonderful entertainment with high-caliber guests and well-educated callers. It was very informative. One by one Rusty, Lars were dropped off the air. The 10 PM daily gold infomercials were a turn off and the ousting of Savage was the last straw. By reading to this message board, it seems to me that Roger also has been relegated to a weekend-only spot. I can get Glenn Beck and Savage through internet radio and I am considering paying for a Savage Podcast subscription. It is curious that Rusty and Lars were two radio hosts (maybe the only ones) who I remember defended Savage everytime he was attacked. An they went first.
The explanation given by the station manager is not credible. I know there is something bigger behind this decision.
Good luck KNEW.

Sorry, there is no comparing them to Armstrong and Getty! They certainly can't fill Savages shoes! I like Armstrong and Getty, and I like Glenn Beck (glad he's back after being gone for a couple of years) but I'm going to have to find some other station to listen to now from 3-7, maybe I'll have to give HotTalk a chance. This has been one of the most disappointing moves to come out of 910 KNEW. BIG TIME FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! YOUR PATHETIC!

Savage has been ON FIRE this week! Maybe it was the firing from his flagship station KNEW, I don't know, but he has had CRAZY energy and excitement since that happened, and all you Savage fans know how much fun it is when he gets like this. Thanks, KNEW.

I can't believe they fired Savage! He's the only reason to listen to this station. Listeners follow particular shows. They don't just listen to a station. I listened to about 5 mins of "John & Ken" and tuned off. Is there a more un-original name for a show than "John & Ken"? Who would remember that. Every city in the country has some dopey show named after its two hosts. Holy Mackerel! I highly doubt these two fools will get better ratings than Savage. Good Lord, how stupid!

Once again, an example of not listening to the Conservative base. WE are alive and well out here. I too was shocked and extremely disappointed that Dr. Savage is no longer on KNEW. I have listened to him for years during my hour+ commute home from the City. While I also enjoy listening to Mark Levin, there is no one like Dr. Savage. While I strongly disagree with some of his views, I believe he is one of the most intelligent, forthright and entertaining personalities on the radio. Also, I have bought his books, and I encourage friends to do the same. While I don't agree with 100% of what Dr. Savage says, he one of the most intelligent, forthright and entertaining personalities I have ever heard on the radio. My husband and I both have learned a great deal from him, and I think anyone can learn a lot from Dr. Savage, if they take the time to listen to him for more than a few minutes. He has a little bit of everything on his show, all of it interesting. I think KNEW has made a huge error in judgment. As for A&G in the morning, their show lacks any real substance and honestly, is quite silly a lot of the time. I will no longer listen to KNEW, and I will buy a stronger atenna for my car ASAP so I can pick up 650. KNEW made a huge mistake.

Have you even listened to what he has to say? He is a very intelligent man.

It's been a half a decade since my afternoon routine was disrupted in a similar fashion, but I remember the first Monday evening of July, when I left the radio on after 7:00 for a few hours. Placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of Glenn Beck, Lars Larson, Bill O'Reilly, Jack & Joe, Tammy Bruce, (even) Phil Hendrie, plus "Does A through J", not only did the power button collect a thick layer of dust, the tuning knob shortly thereafter did, also.

One of Michael Savage's favorite quotes, is commonly known as "(George) Santayana's Law of Repetitive Consequences":

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Noting that Jim Jones, of Peoples' Temple Kool-Aid party fame, had that on a plaque above his "throne" at his compund in Guyana, and re-applying Santayana's Law to _that_:

1) I'll ask "Remember anyone handing out some kind of grape-ish tasting beverage at your Townsend St offices lately?" ... As the Jonestown site as since reverted to jungle, the station we all KNEW and loved will revert to something along the lines of "Korean pop hits" or "All Cooking Talk, All The Time".

2) To my fellow Savage fans: "Part 2' of the above has KNEW experiencing what KSFO did.. A major player in SFO has a "spare license" they're sitting on by simulcasting their left-leaning, 50000-watt news channel on, and my money's on seeing a KGO -> KSFO happening again, in the form of CBS recasting KFRC 106.9 similarly... The prospect of launching a basically "new" station, and immediately being #1 in afternoon drive-time ratings-wise should be irresistible to anyone with the spare "dial slot" to do so..

log · 3 months ago

This type of action lends itself to conspiracy... Why would KNEW kick off its superstar, Michael Savage? I am a listener from another state who happens to know that savage is on KNEW. Therefore, I listen to KNEW, like many other nationwide fans.

Stranger yet is that Savage has moved to KSTE, which is also a Clear Channel Station. My local radio station is also owned by Clear Channel. Let's hope that Savage's banning on KNEW is not a test balloon for a future and more widespread act of cowardice by Clear Channel.

I think many people are starting to believe that this action was provoked by pressure from Media Matters, the ACLU, or Obama-ites who HATE FREE SPEECH, that is, unless it contains pornography.

In any case, please listen to the majority (88%) of your listeners, when we say that THIS SUCKS, and John Scott sucks!!!

I don't like Armstrong and Getty, so I probably won't like John and Ken. A&G are superficial and glib. They do not give serious commentary. They play to the emotions.Every time that I listen to them to hear their take on a serious topic, I switch the dial to another program because it is obvious that I know more about the topic than they do, and they have no philosophical basis from which they form their opinions.There are so many examples of this that I can't cite a particular one right now. My guess is that your listening audience will plummet and your ratings will crash. Your decision is bad politically and bad financially. What a shame.

Thomas Leo · 3 months ago

Dear Mr. Genius Program Director. Let me return your candor about the Michael Savage show and how your new philosphy affects my listening choices. Savage has been a bastion of Independent Right wing interest in a small, insular, extreme Liberal part of California that doesn't reflect the views and choices of most people. He has brought you huge numbers of listeners because most of us don't agree with or like the typical Liberal point of view in this small part of the world. You are a fool and I certainly hope your stay at this station will be brief and personally very disappointing. I will not be wasting my time with your station any longer. It is a disappointment to find such a vacuus pinhead would be in charge of programming and ignore the audience of such proportions. I hope your satisfaction with your new philosophical direction turns to ashes in you mouth and causes you great personal disaster with your career. Brilliant, simply brilliant.

I tuned into 910 to see what Savage had to say about things. Who were these guys??? I text message my wife to find out what the hell was going on. I was pissed to say the least.
I have followed Savage from maybe his first or second time as a guest on KGO or KSFO. One time it was right around Thanksgiving, it was the most heartfelt show, a real thanksgiving treat.
I listened to him faithfully at KSFO and then the change to KNEW. I put up with all of the morons that have came and left. Alex Bennett ring a bell?
Savage may be crass or rude at times Who cares, look what he brought to the party! I have a hard time completing a book and he has written how many? I have worked my whole life to become proficient at my trade. How many does Savage under his belt?
I think you have made a mistake of epic proportions. I shall not get into name calling but I hope you pull back before you auger in! Oops too late.
Long live Savage, one of the lone voices in the wilderness.

Dropping Dr. Savage was a mistake, and is contradictory to your new slogan, "More stimulating talk". No figure in the world of talk radio is more thought provoking than Dr. Savage. I suspect you don't realize how entertaining Dr. Savage happens to be as well, as it clearly states you're looking into more A&G style content. This was a mistake, plain and simple. Expect a drop in listenership.

I find it ironic that you wanted more local information, but you fired the guy that broadcasts from the Bay Area and hired two guys from Southern CA. John and Ken sound like every other radio show with two guys names in the title, I can barely even tell their voices apart. I like Armstrong and Getty, but if I wanted to hear them twice a day I'd record their show in the morning.

For the record, I am a VERY liberal Democrat who loves listening to Michael Savage. I think he's nuts, and I disagree with almost everything he says. But he entertains me, which John and Ken do not. From now on I'll be turning 910 off at 10AM.

JAY LLOYD · 3 months ago

This may be longer than usual; I urge you to wade thru it. Not happy with your changes. I'm a retired broadcast guy...mostly in radio with various awards from SPJ, AP, etc.
But, for 39 years I simultaneously worked in marketing/advertising...not in the same market, of course. So besides radio news, I know a little about marketing a station using
news. Twice, I collaborated with station owners to takeover their so-called "news" dept and use it to market the station to draw listeners and tighten relations with the community.
I did it by focusing ONLY on local news and leaving state & national news to the wires. The audience knew they could depend on us to tell them what the city council or police did
last nite...what the school board planned, etc. They got this only from us. Not the local newspaper...nowhere else. Of course this was pre-internet. Being a credentialed college
teacher I was able to setup unpaid internships with all local schools allowing me to send a "reporter" to those meetings and relay it to me in the morning. As they gained experience
I let them take a crack at writing the story...later to voice it. This cemented our relationship with the communities. Unfortunately that is the missing "golden bullet" that virtually
all radio stations cannot...or will not...use, hence the industry has lost its "personal" position in people's lives.
I fail to comprehend your statement about providing this "local" information with a syndicated show from LA. Or Sacramento. Or San Diego. Removing San Franciscan Michael Savage
is a mistake. Nevermind that he's a blowhard presenter...he's educated and on target and courageous. He delivers a huge listener base which advertisers love.
A scan of your website "News" shows not one single "local" story. Ditto for "Lifestyle"...except Steve Jobs. You have NOTHING local! Tell me why I would want to listen to a station
that presents show hosts from faraway cities? I don't think you even have a "news" dept; if you do, it's "rip & read" journalism...not actual "reporting". And, before you ask, no I'm
not interested in getting back into the biz...been there and done that. I'm afraid radio is dying or dead. Local show hosts are the only possible salvation. I only tune to KNEW to hear
Savage. I'm in Benicia, so when the signal's bad, I switch to 650 in Sacto which also carries his show. I urge you to re-think your "plan". If you want local listeners; get local talent.
And program something of value to the local audience. Bringing canned shows from faraway might be good for budget...but not for your audience.
And, don't get it backwards: FIRST you do the programming (and suck up the expense), THEN you get the audience and ratings to sell time. It's been ever thus; today's executives
have it wrong...and they've lost the local audience the same way newspapers have lost readers because they carry "canned crap" from their sister-papers. Reporters are extinct!

Years ago, when KSFO decided to go closer to the middle-of-the-road (and you know what is found in the middle-of-the-road) and expulse Michael Savage, I dropped them off and followed "The Doctor" to KNEW - that's how I found you.

Once you were programmed on my car radio, I decided to switch from KSFO to you altogether. What a garbage programming it was, yuck! There was nothing worth on, besides "The Savage Nation". So, reluctantly I had to fall back for all my other listening to the "road-kill-KSFO".

It was a REALLY nice surprise that KNEW rapidly cleaned-up house, threw out all the "Dumb'n'Dumber" "shows" (show is a gross overstatement for the swill of that times) and brought on really, REALLY excellent line-up and kept on tuning up the programming to make it ever better!! Great job!! KNEW was my ONLY station for all these years....till today.

Now, please excuse my French, but your abhorrent act brought "the best" out of me......
I don't know whose a$$ you are kissing, but you can kiss me good bye! Everybody who chooses to cater to communist/fascist/Marxist pressure instead to prosper by catering to the needs of the free market, deserves their faith a few years down the road when their new masters will use them one last time as a a$$-wipe!

Try to have a nice live while it lasts, because I believe there will be a sewer pipe waiting for you at the end of the road!

No Regards!

Hey 910 KNEW: SCREW YOU. No Savage, no listeners. No me that's for sure. You suck. Apparently you're nothing but a bunch of cronies for Newsom and the rest of the liberal Bay Area. What a joke. Look forward to being a radio ghost town like 560 KSFO was after they took Savage off. Who even listens to them now? Oh, and BTW, there's a whole lot of us who don't like Armstrong & Getty. Yeah, they're funny. But when they started waxing political, someone needs to tell them to stop talking and tell jokes.

Not trying to be mean, here, but FIRST of all...get a better pic of yourself touting the NEW 910am. You look as sour as you've made everyone else feel for taking Savage off the air.
Secondly, what's your agenda? To get new listeners by destroying your listnership that's already established. Different ideological and philosophical direction? Oh, yeah? Yet you keep Beck and Hedgecock (good thing). More local topics? No one is more local to SF than Michael Savage talking forever about his romance with the City and the Bay Area. The reasons you give smack of disingenuousness if not something more ego-driven than market driven. Bad Move.

Geroge Baller · 3 months ago

So after doing some searching it looks like Savage was canned because he get's paid too much for the struggling clear channel to be able to keep him. That was a poor decision because they will loose a lot more without him. I listened to other shows on KNEW because of Savage, but now I wont listen to any. I removed it from my car stations and will now be listening to 650 and 560 only for the golfer and sussman.

Hannity's show sucks cause all he takes is calls from his groupee girls and he isn't all that bright. "your a great american" whatever, you dont even know these people Hanity.

Mark Levin show sucks also, yeah his book is top notch. but his show is rather boring and his voice is terrible as well as his lack of original ideas.

SAVAGE is the best!

I could tolerate it again after you effed everything up a while ago. It's over now. 910 boomed when Savage came and they are gonna go down in flames now. Interesting that you want a more local vision, considering the fact that Savage lives here in the Bay Area. Yet you contradict yourself by bringing Glenn Beck on in the afternoon? That's just silly. Now why don't you tell us what really happened?

Here's MY no-spin direct answer to yours - you wanted to dump - shall we say "ban" - Michael Savage from your station because he's right about: 1) the communist cliff Obama is marching us towards and 2) the ineptitude and moral corruption of San Francisco public officials and you want to move to what you believe is safer ground (AKA "Barbie and Ken"). Savage was the only host worth listening to on KNEW, so your advertisers have just lost another pair of ears.

I will not tune to your station now that you let Dr. Savage go. I used to pay particular attention to those who advertised on Savage's show, so let those sponsors know they are out of luck as well. Stupid move, but it really translates into KNEW caving to political correctnes. You should just admit you have no spine. Cowardly move, so your station off my dial.

5thGenRPMember · 3 months ago

When you realize that "angry conservative radio" is neither appealing to advertisers, nor has the massive audience base it used to, it's a no brainer business decision. Plus when you have a "host" who slams your market base area constantly, it isn't in the best intrest of them to promote someone on their San Francisco station that is so vehemently anti San Francisco.

Additionally - angry conservative radio is losing its appeal - instead of intelligent logic based conservatism, it's been a marketing ploy using you - the listeners - as pawns. I'll use my favorite example (and someone who, as a broadcast success, I admire greatly), Rush Limbaugh. I liked RL - he was an amazing entertainer - he even got whatzisname, the new senator - Franken - to boost his ratings by engaging in single combat (excellent ratings move) - but even he (the man behind the golden EIB microphone) lost sight of his ideal (Truth in radio, spreading the conservatism is good and American and Patriotic) and sold out to the "angry conservative" movement, which is now dying out.

There will always be people who listen to this, as there will always be people who watch Jerry Springer on TV. Problem is, when you tell the AMERICAN people that supporting AMERICAN ideals (like supporting a president you didn't vote for) is BAD AND UNPATRIOTIC, then you yourself are being anti-patriotic. Another example? I despised the family Clintonista. Hated them. But as our president, I respected the office. When Bush Jr. made stupid fashionable, I couldn't stand him - but he was our president, and I stood behind him. Hell, I was in the military under JimmyCarter... as bad a leader as he was (remember Iran?), he was stiill our President and I still backed him.

The main problem is our current president is African American. Get over it. It's a done deal. Whether you like him or his policies (which at times stink of clintonism), or hate him, He's our CIC. Damnit, he's our representative as president. Sure, I miss Bush Sr., I liked him for his honesty and guts. But if you're an AMERICAN, then by God ACT like it. Otherwise, as we used to say when Raegan was CIC - Go try China. Or Russia.

What needs to happen is the Republican Party needs to get out of the sheep mode, and back to being LEADERS. Clean out the closet (in ALL aspects of that), get some fresh, new blood in there. Get back to the Party of the People - and get rid of the "we gotta fight a civil war against *them* - because what's patriotic in splitting the country up??? Eh?

And to that end - hasta la vista Savage. Take your unpatriotic tripe elsewhere - because here in the bay area, we give a s#!t about our country - not in drowning in a pity pot of your ratings grab.

If anything, the country is moving more towards the right. Savage is doing great, so good that Clear Channel can't afford him anymore. His website traffic alone, is amazing and it is increasing, not decreasing.

Patriotic in Santa Rosa · 3 months ago

You are obviously missing the fact that our republic is in grave danger of disappearing if TRUE Americans don't stand up and challenge the threats to our Constitution and demand that those in power use their positions to promote the good of our country over their own personal agendas. Michael Savage challenged us to think about this.

I will admit that he sometimes went too far with his anger, cut of callers rudely, seemed to drone on at times about things that were not interesting to me. HOWEVER, I am able to see that he is an intelligent, educated and courageous man with enough faith to encourage many, many of his listeners to wake up and take some responsibility for preserving our country. You have absolutely no grounds for calling him unpatriotic.

What is UNPATRIOTIC is your suggestion that people who do not support Obama's
policies, decisions and administration are racist. I know that racism still abounds in our nation, but you can not correctly attribute it to all who disagree with President Obama.

What is patriotic about standing by while our politicians in both parties disregard our Constitution, circumvent the law, and sell us a bill of goods for which future generations will pay? Your simplistic explanation that the "main problem is our current president is African American" only shows that you never really paid attention to what Dr. Savage was saying.

My family will continue to listen to him on the internet and will tune in to KNEW only for Glenn Beck. If KNEW cancels Beck they will have lost us too!

Savage is available here:

610 on the AM Dial, but you'll need a quality antenna/receiver to get a solid signal.
(http://www.kste.com)
Listen live there, but no podcasts yet.
Most podcast sources I've seen so far rely on 910s feed.

There is a podcast available here:
http://www.trn1.com/savage_live
but you have to pay for it. According to "yrekadude" who posted here earlier, their feed does NOT rely on 910, and he also said that Savage gets some of the $5.95 per month if you subscribe. (About $4.60/month if you pay for a whole year.) He further stated that he WAS able to download today's show, confirming that they do not rely on KNEW's feed. The subscription includes access to other enjoyable radio shows as well.

I checked on itunes, but the feeds there are either a one or two minute blurb, or they're very old.

Armstrong + Getty AND Dr. Savage are both on the air in the bay area at their NORMAL times On
650 on the AM dial.

By the way, the normal KNEW feedback phone message line is full, but you can still call and leave a message on their business and fax line at:

Business Line: 415.356.5500
Fax Line: 415.975.5471

Take two minutes to call them and let them know what you think!

John Scott is the program director. (who was too afraid to put his name on the above post.)

Also, if you're a "facebook friend" with "NineTen KNEW" or "910AM", remember to take them off your list!

From Michael Savage I have learned the importance of not simply taking all the media buzz, tag lines, news, blurbs, reports, etc., etc., for fact, and the importance of questioning and getting your news from different sources. He belongs to neither party and pulls no punches. He ingests, chews, investigates, drills down, absorbs, and analyzes everything, cutting out the spin, partisanship, BS and crap, and spits out his unfiltered findings to his audience. Using his vast knowledge, education, life experiences, and brilliant mind, he very quickly gets to the truth. He is the best at laying out his findings to his audience in a logical and relevant manner and in a way which brings all the pieces of the puzzle together. This is something which other media hosts attempt...and fail. he is the best in this regard!

He can be abrupt, short, and brusque, but he is also a listener and open to discussion and new thought. Often, he works through his thought process while on the radio. He is one of our greatest minds and thank God he continues to do what he does. I am counting on him to pull this country back from the brink. I support Michael Savage 100% and will follow him wherever he goes.

The station is headed in the WRONG DIRECTION! vp, female, 47, American born Asian and proud patriot--Hey you Asians, get out there and show your face at a town hall or tea party!!!!

I am a 28 year old female who lives in San Francisco, and Savage was my only hope that I was not the only conservative mind in this very liberal city.

Lonny · 3 months ago

Sad day that the two best talk radio shows have been pulled in the bay area. They have lured me to the programming that you have had on. How is it that you’re looking for “local talk” when the guys that you’re pulling are no where near the bay area… I don’t really care to hear about things that are affecting the southern California area. Savage talked about local things even though he was not supposed to being that he is a national talk radio personality and Armstrong and Getty at talk about all kinds of local news related to the bay area and California in general. Guess I will be spinnin the dial (650 in Sac) to find them where ever they have gone in the bay area (and taking my advertising dollars and pocketbook with me).

Jack · 3 months ago

I gave John and Ken an honest listen and I hope to say this without sounding insulting or condesending ... And I am a fan of Armstrong and Getty.

You honestly believe that you can replace Michael Savage with this tandum and not have Mark Levine over at 560KSFO absolutley mop the floor with your ass? You replace Savage with this tandum; you are going to be bested by your red-headed stepchild over at 960 AM and the 43 nationwide listeners they have between the hours of 3-7.

You seriously need to make an immediate panic run to the 'self storage' and bring back all of those Country - Western albums you all used to spin back in the day, because from what I can see right now... You are commiting comercial suicide.

Nick Rubtzoff · 3 months ago

Nobody makes me laugh more than Savage, when he's in one of his sarcastic moods. Sarcasm is the best comedy. But it shoudn't be predictable or formulaic. Savage is very unpredictable, and that's precisely what makes him way more exiting than Armstrong and Getty, who are cool for the occasional tune in, but are no match for Savage.
When the dust settles on this Talk Radio era in our history, Savage will be considered an important historical figure for his daring, combined with sharp intellect and incredible story-telling abilities that derive from his broad education and life's experiences.
People like Rush Limbaugh will be remembered for their trend-setting and their abilty to get under the opposition's skin. But the cookie cutter talk hosts who, at present are good for the minute by minute commentary on current news coupled with the chuckle and the laugh, won't be remembered at all.
On soal-searching discussion concerning cultural issues and our place in history, Savage is a giant and, I worry, the remainder of the KNEW talk host selection are mere adolescents ( who can be quite funny at times, ha ha ha ).

I've listenend to Michael Savage for close to 10 years. I'll be finding some other station to listen to on my drive home.

If KNEW was focused on the listeners you would have told us about this before running some lame advertisement to listen at 9:10am for new and exciting stuff. I guess the exciting announcement is your flushing the radio station down the drain.

No one even heard of Armstrong and Getty before Savage put this station on the map.The only reason I listen to 910 is because of Micheal Savage's show. You say more local content, how can you get more local than Savage who is a bay area resident and nows San Francisco like the back of his hand.I am disappointed about this change and I will no longer listen to 910.

Dumping Dr. Savage is just plain ignorant. He's a very highly-rated host who draws listeners to your station, but apparently you'd rather waste air time on John and Ken (who are vapid) so as not to pee off your new Marxist overlords. You need to stop kowtowing to the totalitarians in DC and stand for something.

Savage is goign to land on another station in the Bay Area and you will get swamped by his outstanding program. But hey, at least the Marxist bureaucrats whose butts you're kissing will be proud of you.

From the heartland, Kansas, I faithfully tuned you in via the internet. Your station helped me re-discover Savage and San Francisco! Now that Savage is gone, I'll follow him to another station.

He loved San Francisco and lived in the area so your posit that he failed to present a "local" perspective is flawed. My personal opinion about 910 dropping Savage from your programing is that it will be a regrettable decision.

We love you Michael ! We'll find you on another station.

You've dumped the third highest rated talk show program in the nation for a duo that gets one eighth of the audience. Doesn't make business sense. Your explanation doesn't make any sense since Savage was the only change, so we can only assume that this was polically motivated. That makes you and your station part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Big mistake. I listened to KSFO until Dr. Savage "moved" to KNEW that I have listened to exclusively since. I have been amused at your various failures to put something with listenership between 10:00am and 3:00pm. I predict cloning the "morning boys" in a form of an afternoon show will fail equally well. This will be seen as a further attempt to silence Dr. Savage, whose ratings I am sure are not the reason for his termination. Once I find where he has moved to, I doubt I will hear Jack and Joe, let alone John and Ken. Maybe I will start listening to Lee and friends on KSFO again. Good luck folks.

If Savage is gone, then so am I. I just heard the two 'replacements' (on the A&G show - which I listen to less now) and am not impressed. I'll be turning the dial over to 560 KSFO and keeping it on Mark Levin (rather than going back and forth as I was doing).

I also listen to a few other stations, one of them being J&K's flagship KFI. I've listened to J&K in the past and they're no A&G. They pride themselves on silly stunts like Political Human Sacrifice and Heads on a Stick to attract listeners, and they enjoy being outraged. Needless to say, I'll be surfing around to find the good doctor's new home.

John · 3 months ago

I don't like your decision to drop Michael Savage. I listen to the entire A&G show at work via pod-cast everyday! At 3pm I streamed Michael Savage and when I left work I tuned to him on the radio. Now you have replaced Michael Savage with some A&G hacks? Why would I want to listen to a lesser version of A&G? That’s like saying hey you can have Coke in the morning but in the afternoon you’re getting RC Cola. It’s not the same thing. I want Coke in the morning and Coke in the afternoon. Bring back Michael Savage Please!

You will truly loose a lot of advertising business with this decision which I'm sure was based primarily on liberal pressure groups.

BTW, I only tuned it 910KNEW because Michael Savage switched from 560 to 910. I listened exclusively to 560 for years, but when Michael switched over to 910AM I listed exclusively to 910 all day! Michael has a major impact. I will have to switch stations in the afternoon now to tune into Michael Savage.

John G. Age: 27

Grenadine · 3 months ago

OK, I've got it figured out. Since no radio station could actually be so stupid as to take its most popular show off the air, Savage must have raised his syndication fees. This makes sense becuase he is more popular now than ever, plus he has attracted international attention with the UK thing. More power to him.
910 will pay for being so cheap. Whatever station picks him up for afternoon drive time will increase their listenership by 100%. And Savage will be laughing all the way to the bank.
"More stimulating"? Try: "more like the morning, only less good. Oh, and from L.A."

So your dropping Savage and keeping Rob Black?

Leo · 3 months ago

I listened to talk radio off and on for many years. I remember listening to Savage. I remember when he first started on KGO as fill-in then moved to KSFO. As he became bigger, he has become more ego self-centered. I felt he was becoming more like an 'act' and playing up his outrage. I have to admit, that when I returned to listening to talk radio last here, because of the election, I listened more to Mark Levin on the other station and I'm guessing ratings partly had to do with it.

I question the station manager saying 'more Local information'. This gives perception KNEW is bending to possible future Obama regime censoring of Conservative radio. Do not wimp-out KNEW! I question though JOHN & KEN as replacement. A & G are good. Not exactly real conservatives but I like them. To have another team in the afternoon? Hopefully station manager will later consider someone else.

John Hedgecock is GOOD. He is maybe the remaining traditional Conservative on KNEW (Keep Hedgcock) and also Glenn Beck. Also please keep Beck. Both of them don't just complain, yell and whine but HELP their radio audiences to become pro-active and participate in political matters.

What about Andrew Breitbart as talk show host? He's kind of a cool and very sharp Conservative. He does fill-in very occasionally and guest commentary on other talk stations. Maybe some of you radio station managers or Clear Channel can persuade Breitbart to do a talk radio show??

Dropping Dr. Savage was perhaps the worst decision you could have made. The Savage Nation was the main reason I listened to your station.

I can tune in 650am in the morning to get Jack and Joe and will find The Savage Nation elsewhere.

I listen to your station because of A&G, Glenn Beck and Michael Savage. If you’re going to cut someone you should cut Rob Black. Nothing against him but I don't believe he fits into your programming unless your moving away for a conservative type base. Your making a huge mistake cutting out Michael Savage, as I will be looking elsewhere to follow savage and maybe even better programming form another station. I’m sure I won’t be the only one. Especially given what is happening in this country. That is unless you are scared of the present administration in the White House and are trying to position your station as being neutral. That is not what we need right now in this country. You should be supporting and getting behind Mr. Savage not running away from him.

Michael Savage is the primary reason I have loyally listened to 910KNEW and your decision "to go in a different philosophical and ideological direction" is the primary reason I will remove 910AM from my radio presets and will make a different choice truly stimulating talk radio.

I represent the demographic you think you are trying to reach with "more contemporary content" and echo the comments from your other disappointed former listeners with my belief that this is a poor decision and an indicator that you do not know your audience.

Furthermore, before publicizing your explanation that you are interested in "featuring more local information", you should have considered how that would translate. Savage is from SF, and the new guys are from LA. Please explain how LA is more local to the SF Bay Area. It sounds like a feeble attempt to justify an unpopular, misguided decision.

910AM's newest former listener,

I have been watching the total count of the comments and noticed proof they are being removed. Now unless people are actually taking the time to post something then delete it this would prove the deleting. The comments deleted did not contain any offensive content or anything or the sort, very interesting to watch this kind of stuff happen right in front of me, in real time. 10 minutes ago there was 108 comments and now there are 123, only problem is I personally counted 130 comments posted yet only 123 are posted.

" at 9:10, on 9-10-09, on 910, we have a new long change". Freakin morons- you dropped a big one before 9-11- Dumb-ass. What- did your station get bought out by some lib? I'm sure Savage will be playing the national anthem at the beginning of show tomorrow. And whats up with A&G suckin up to the bore that was this morning- that was a waste of 50 min? They opened for Savage in Concord, and had nothing to say?! I guess loyalty is gone in America.

Savage has a Premium members area that includes podcasts.
KNEW was posting podcasts, thus circumventing paying.
Maybe that was the issue at hand?
After all, following the money usually yields answers...

Congrats! Not only have you lost me as a listener but, by the looks of it, you've lost hundreds more. 650 KSTE is where I will go for Jack and Joe and for Dr. Savage. And my money will go to THEIR advertisers as well. Dr. Savage lives in SF, went to UCB and kept tabs on Bay Area lawmakers. Please explain how two guys from LA will be more "local." This is a huge mistake, a horrible decision and your explanation is WEAK and GUTLESS. Goodbye 910, you have been removed from my radio.

beluga · 3 months ago

To revisit KNEW's brilliant programming decisions: This is the same station that used to have Glenn Beck on the air at noontime, M-F. I used to listen religiously while having lunch in the truck, and laughed, and learned, and was totally entertained. Then you dropped him. I forget who replaced him, but that failed host was subsequently replaced by Jerry Doyle. Hmmm. So, .... WHO'S back on KNEW now, from noon to 3pm??? Why, it's none other than Glenn Beck! You bozos had a talent in your lineup who went on to become the #3 talk show host in the NATION (!!!), and you dumped him. Now that he's so popular, you bring him back. I appreciate you having him on your station -- don't get me wrong. But I think back on the boneheaded decision to let him go a few years ago, and realize that you folks don't have a clue about what your audience wants and enjoys. Whatever is driving the decisions made by your programming department, it certainly isn't a proper appreciation for your audience's tastes.

For those looking for Savage elsewhere....

http://radiotime.com/options/p_20626/The_Savage...

I'll be listening online to any one of the stations listed, whenever possible. I hope another station close enough to be picked up on the car radio will add Michael Savage to their lineup. I will be their loyal listener for at least part of their broadcast day.

Anyone know if Savage is on Satellite radio? I've never felt the need to buy and subscribe, but I might consider doing so, if it means I can hear the good Dr.'s insights while I'm out and on the road.

KNEW has lost THIS listener from 3 to 7. Sad day for local radio.

AliciaQ · 3 months ago

A long time ago Savage said that he would never 'sell out' to satellite radio.

He is available on http://talkradionetwork.com/ His podcast are available 24x7. You have to pay for a subscription, but it is a worthwile investment.

As the great Rev. James Manning would say, "MICHAEL SAVAGE WE'RE WITH YA' BRO!"

I cannot believe this. New and contemporary???? Are you kidding? The explanation doesn't jive like so many have mentioned below. Does this have something to do with the Britain issue? I almost feel betrayed by A&G by their lack of comment here! There has to be an explanation for this. Mike IS "Local"
Listening to him on the way home was stimulating and after listening to the new guys this morning sounds like the station is going more towards "annoying." Bad move guys.... God Bless Mike Savage,

Like many I took roots on KNEW because of Michael Savage. But now, hello KSTE, here I come. Since they also carry A&G and Savage I can continue listening to the same shows on my commutes. The signal may not be as good here in the South Bay, but the programming is worth it. Good bye KNEW!

Stimulating My Ass · 3 months ago

1. John Scott is a lefty twit posing as a real radio station program director.

2. Unlike other cities, Savage isn't syndicated in S.F. he is paid by the local
station, KNEW is owned by Cheap Channel--bottom line they couldn't afford
the deal any longer

3. KNEW is truly the Titanic, and Scott's explanation is intellectually dishonest.
John & Ken is free (barter) programming from their co-owned station in Los
Angeles. It is aimed at a totally different market & very dumbed down in
comparison to Dr. Savage..

What a huge mistake is was to drop Savage. I am a 45 year old, white, independent women who lives in Marin County, California. Yes, I loved listening to Michael Savage. I didn't always agree but he was thought provoking and we need more thought provoking discussions. I will search for his show on another channel. Love Armstrong and Getty but find the new John and Ken show to commerical, canned and predictable. Sounds like the NEW 910 AM is conforming like everybody else....too bad!

I listen to your station because of A&G, Glenn Beck and Michael Savage. If you’re going to cut someone you should cut Rob Black. Nothing against him but I don't believe he fits into your programming unless your moving away for a conservative type base. Your making a huge mistake cutting out Michael Savage, as I will be looking elsewhere to follow savage and maybe even better programming form another station. I’m sure I won’t be the only one. Especially given what is happening in this country. That is unless you are scared of the present administration in the White House and are trying to position your station as being neutral you guys are cowards.. That is not what we need right now in this country. You should be supporting and getting behind Mr. Savage not running away from him. I’ll be listening to elsewhere. Hope the person who made this decision has their resume ready!

Dennis Miller, Michael Medved, Denis Prager,Hugh Hewitt, Inga Barks,Rusty Humphries and Lars Larson could all work here. Do you WANT us to switch somewhere else , where we can listen to them or or someone else? Please rethink what your doing. Otherwise, it's "Viva la Revolucion" time.

John,
Good move, for ratings, and feeding off your #1 show-A & G..
Bad move for Savage fans. However, as I listen more out of my computer, and with podcasts, I can still get Savage, anytime..
I have heard John and Ken before, on KFI, they are a good catch.

I really hope, that you keep the chat room there, don't give up yet, on the full service radio.

I do hope that it works, then you can find a more balanced, and non-ideological replacement for Glenn beck..
Thanks John, and KNEW, for trying to survive, and prosper, in the radio biz'
I know it's not easy nowadays...

Hey Sparkyday,
ME too! The only reason I listened to Armstrong and Getty was b/c of Michael. Otherwise I would have NEVER bothered to tune into that station. Since their show is on while I am just begining work, I don't listen to much of it. I also heard how A & G were talking this morning. They sounded as if they were just trying to hold onto their jobs by promoting these new chumps in the afternoon. We all know they admired Savage and they still tried to be upbeat and friendly to these two guys.
No reason to listen anymore. Bye NEW communists.

Appears my comment was removed when I posted as a guest...so I will retry.

I found 910 when Savage left his previous home - he put your station on the map for me! As a direct result of following his show I found A&G.

I will probably still listen to A&G in the morning, but you can count on my being gone for the 2 hours it takes me to get home. Savage is a patriot and goes after both sides of the aisle - I am sorry he is clearly no longer recognized as such by 910 management.

Anyone who boycotts a whole station, for one program, is a numnut.
Hey, I like other radio programs, and listen to them. If I don't like what John and Ken have to say, I'll pick up another, perhaps even Savage, to listen too..

I love waking up to A&G in the morning. I don't think Rob Black quite fits your model, at least your old model, but I do like listening to him since there seems to be nothing else in that block worth listening to. I have listened to Savage on my drive home for the past 7 years. He can get a little grating at times but I do like his overall message and stories. I am contemplating giving John and Ken a chance, but not much of one, then I am off to find Savage again. I doubt John and Ken can compare at all and I don't think I want to hear that type of programming in the afternoon anyway. My roots are in LA and that is the only reason I will give them a chance. I will at least find Savage and put him in my pre-set and probably switch back and forth before making the final switch.

It will be good to be able to switch back and for during that time. I do appreciate the concentration on Californina politic/events. Our state is in serious trouble and we need to keep updated on our local events. Remember that So Cal happenings have a great effect on us up here in the north. Good luck to the new guys.

Hey everyone - GET YOUR CONSERVATIVE FIX AT KSFO 560 AM! RUSH, HANNITY, DR. LAURA, MARK LEVIN, LEE RODGERS, BRAIN SUSSMAN, BARBARA SIMPSON!

LN_Smithee · 3 months ago

When KSFO suddenly dumped Laura Ingraham in the 7-9am slot years ago and replaced her with Mark Levin, I called KSFO demanding to know why. I got an honest answer: "The station is owned by ABC, and so is Levin's show. It's a top-down business decision."

OTOH, your answer regarding Savage just doesn't make a lick of sense. Despite the controversy that constantly swirls around him, Savage is still immensely popular with listeners in the Bay Area and across the country, and yours is a business in which listeners mean dollars. Even with Savage and the exploding popularity of Glenn Beck, you were second to KSFO in the talk game. John & Ken? On occasion John Kobylt can be brilliant (his decimation of Asa Hutchinson a few years back is an all-time classic interview), but here are the facts: J&K were tried years ago at KSFO, and didn't cut it. What's changed? There's NO WAY this move will increase your listenership.

If your only focus was to have more locally-relevant programming, you wouldn't have gotten Beck, whose focus is on big-picture issues regarding Washington and the world. And no national talkhost speaks of Bay Area issues more than Savage does.

Here's what I think really happened: Like all of us in a down economy, you folks at KNEW/Green960 are suffering from a cash crunch, and the bigwigs at ClearChannel are forcing you to make hard choices. It's like when sports teams have a salary cap and are forced to make a choice between their two biggest star players. It's too expensive to keep them both; one of them has to go. Often that decision is made on the basis of which player will serve the team further into the future. It's clear Beck is ascending in the talk world, and Savage's heyday is passed.

That's the scenario I HOPE is true. There is also the possibility that this is a move in preparation of a looming talk radio crackdown by Obama's FCC, and the path of least resistance is dumping Savage. It would be unfair to accuse you of that without evidence, but it makes more sense than the official story.

I don't understand how John and Ken, who are in LA, represent "more local information." Savage is based right here in SF and talks about local topics all the time. How does LA constitute as local for the SF bay area?
And you say, "if you love Armstrong and Getty..." well, we're not listening to 910 for Armstrong and Getty. We're listening for Savage. In fact, the only reason I've ever even listened to Armstrong & Getty is because I left the radio dial set to 910 from listening to Savage from the afternoon before.
Enjoy your new direction, 910. Sadly, it's a direction I won't be traveling in with you. I will now have to turn to internet radio to pass my afternoons.

I like A&G, but Savage brought me to the station. Once I tune somewhere else, you'll likely lose me as a listener. His San Francisco talk made it real local and entertaining for me. I can't stand LA. I can't stand Rob Black either - he's just plain iritating.

I've turned off 910AM KNEW forever. It will no longer wake me up in the morning, (adios A&G) and it will no longer intrigue me in the afternoons sans Savage. What an act of blatant contempt towards your audience and at best, what a slap of disrespect for your listeners of many years. So 21st century/AIG of you! Just deplorable what the KNEW suits just did. No warning, nada, zippo. So in return, I've changed all my radio dials for good as all the others were just a side of icecream with the cake.

More local? That's crap and you know it. Savage is local to the Bay Area and frequently speaks of local affairs. Nice try. I'd re-phrase that and post some truth or something that is a little more "truthy" at least. You should've stopped at "...different philosophical and ideological direction..." Some truth would certainly be refreshing. Now that'd be change we could believe in... Do you take your listeners for schmucks? Jeeeezzz!
I 'get' why Savage might not be an ideal fit for your station, but try some truth. God, Man, give us something we can believe it!

ByeByeWeinerNation · 3 months ago

Why I stopped listening to the Weiner Nation and up until now, only listened to Mark Levin during PM drive time:
1. He went wobbly on Iraq and the WOT in general. His old hippie pacifist meme had a flashback.
2. Drunk on the air, more and more.
3. Started having more and more of these lame "interviews" where he would play a tape from some crank and pretend to have a conversation with the crank on the tape.
4. Supported Moonbeam in the State Election of 2006.
5. Went over the top ragging on George W. Bush (I mean, it's OK to critique a President, but Weiner's critique got very old and worn).
6. Generally appeared to be losing it.

Buh Bye Dr. Savage (or is it, Dr. Unsavage, it was getting hard to tell toward the end).

I like to listen when I get home and can't while at work (Cause I work in Mt. Shasta CA. full of loons and libs)

Matt · 3 months ago

I am quite shocked at the station's decision to yank Michael Savage off the air. While I certainly have plenty of disagreements with some of Savage's ideology (ok...immigrants are not destroying America. Please.), he is without doubt one of the most talented broadcasters and polemicists of our time. His terse and no holds barred style transcends the predictable dullness of most mainstream punditry (ahem...Fox) and I'm really struggling to understand the rationale behind this decision.

Admittedly, I don't live in the Bay Area and I work during his broadcast here in Seattle, so I had been listening via podcast which was provided by KNEW. I'm saddened to see this fade away.

The new guys are "Southern California talkers" Savage in S.F. always was talking about local issues. Also what the does this mean? "philosophical and ideological direction, featuring more contemporary content" Sounds like B.S. to me. The real answer is, yes we caved into the libs. 560 am here I come.

Mark · 3 months ago

I have listened faithfully via internet to 910KNEW from Akron, OH for the last 6 years just because of Dr. Savage. Through advertising on his show, I have listened to nearly all of the A&G podcasts every week as well. I would speak to my business associates in SF about how lucky they were to be the home of Michael Savage on 910. Well, like those others commenting on here, I'm done with this station. You probably don't care as I am not in your Arbitron ratings, but just know you have sullied your reputation perhaps internationally. Oh, and I did just hear the first segment of these new guys and you may want to watch out for false advertising claims. A&G these guys are not unless they decided to make their big debut with their worst opening segment. Ridiculous. I'm out.

gold · 3 months ago

savage? really? REALLY? if anything, i would think you'd drop glen beck. savage may be very controversial but at least his arguments are a more logical than a rhetoric spewing glen beck.

and going more local by bringing in some guys from so cal? (as good as they might be). savage would rant on SF more than most other syndicated hosts ever would. as others have mentioned, the reasons behind dropping savage see disingenuous .

my typical radio choices in an average day are armstrong and getty on KNEW, ronn owens on KGO, len tillem on KGO, savage on KNEW, gene burns on KGO, coast to coast on KSFO. i don't mind rush limbaugh at times, i love armstrong & getty in the mornings (i prefer re-runs to fill in hosts), i can't stand glen beck for a moment, etc. i liked dennis miller..... so basically, looks like i'll only be listening to KNEW for my morning commute.

and for some context and insight into your demographics, i'm 27, raised in SF and been listening to talk radio since i was a young kid.. post-grad education, live and work in SF in the web, have mostly young city living liberal friends, one of those supposedly balanced listeners you're going for. i would consider myself libertarian/independent, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, pro gay-marriage, pro-choice, anti-illegal-immigration, anti-big-govt, and i find myself among the "conservatives" in the bay area, and i thought you had just the right balance up to now, especially with armstrong & getty.

Contemporary? What? Nobody is more contemporary than Michael. Wish the managers had the cajones to tell the truth. Was it internal conflict? Wages? No matter. Michael was your bread and butter. Be prepared to watch for ratings to plummet. John and Ken are not local, they're from the LA swamp. By definition they can not provide local content. That doesn't even fly on the face of it. No-Spin answer? Hardly, dude. You have not illuminated your loyal listener base one bit. I'll have to go to the sfgate.com and check Vinnie's column to get the straight facts. Please tune in to KSTE Radio 650 from Sacramento to continue to hear Michael's show.

It's very sad that Michael Savage has been removed from your lineup. As all of the other comments below, he was 910 KNEW. Savage was all about the Bay Area and its unfortunate that you couldn't see this. I feel that your station is in for a shock because you just lost most of your listeners.

LA Savage Listener · 3 months ago

I live in LA. I usually listen to Savage here: http://560wind.townhall.com/

Good feed. Always strong. John and Ken are good on the Illegal Alien Issue. Many other issues they are actually very liberal. Pro gay marriage for example. You had way more SF issues coming from Savage than you will from John and Ken. John and Ken do CA issues, but 75% LA Issues. Get ready to hear quite a bit about our good for nothing mayor in LA. At least Savage talks about the SF good for nothing mayor.

So, your loss is Chicago's WIND's gain. Too bad, just yesterday I was truly enjoying Michael's page on your site and planned to visit it again and again. I also don't buy your pathetic excuse as to why you took him off. What do you mean by more contemporary...another stupid host and his moron sidekick cracking cheesy jokes? There's no one on air who is more intelligent, who has their finger on the pulse of the news better, who can say it better than Savage. You fools just shot yourselves in the foot.

While some of the other voices are in step with most Americans, Savage was the strongest voice of truth and reason on radio AND HE IS A SAN FRANCISCAN!! The Pablum Brothers that came on at 15:00 sound like a pair of communications majors on an L.A. jr. college radio show... What business school did you go to that teaches firing your biggest listener draw? Or were you paid or threatened to drop Dr. Savage?

You state that your purpose is to "feature... more contemporary content and more local information. The Savage Nation does not fit into that vision." The fact that both the State of California AND the American Republic is in dramatic decline and continuing to illegally (unconstitutionally) burden the hard working tax paying freeman (citizen) IS A CONTEMPORARY ISSUE and there is no other talk show host as educated, literate, extemporaneous, eclectic and well spoken across such a wide range of topics nor as entertaining as Doc Savage, who directly confronts AND provides sensible answers to ALL of the contemporary concerns and issues of many good Americans. I can only surmise that you are part of the problem and NOT part of the answer and that you work for and serve the NEW RULING CLASS whose lust for power and greed seeks to regulate, limit and control the lives, liberties and freedoms that Natural Law and Common Law and the Rule of Law has always struggled against to securing those RIGHTS and LIBERTIES for ALL. Obviously this was NOT a decision based on the bottom line as popular as Savage is but rather one based on political expediency in quickly removing political foes of your tyrannical visions. I hope that like all the newspapers that are going out of business for serving us pablum and propaganda as "news" your business suffers in kind.

kayvonbeiram · 3 months ago

This is absolute garbage. I am going to call and email your programming director EACH AND EVERY DAY until you bring The Savage Nation back to Talk 910 KNEW. How in the hell can you say that your programing is "stimulating" without someone such as Dr. Savage on your airwaves? Also, I plan to get on Dr. Savage's Facebook pages and post the contact information for the director of programming so that others can sound off on this matter. I know I am only one in several thousands (if not more) of people who are absolutely outraged. For the record, if you have a short-wave radio (one that can pick up long-distance signals), you can still listen to The Savage Nation on 650AM (something around that).

The programming director's name is John Scott. He can be reached at js910am@gmail.com and you can call the station at 415.273.1191 and leave them a message. As it stands now, the mailbox is full. Nothing against the new guys, but you simply cannot replace a national treasure such as Dr. Savage. I'll be honest, I don't listen to anyone else on the radio other than Savage because they are all owned and run by big corporations, unlike Savage, who is independently syndicated. I am very disappointed in Talk 910 KNEW and I hope your listenership declines as a result of this travesty of a decision to remove Dr. Savage from your airwaves.

Well, I guess I will have to find Michael at another station. I think this is a really bad decision on your part. I guess the fairness doctrine is hitting the smaller stations and decisions like this are being made across the country. There was a really talented local host (Chris Plante) on WMAL in DC that was replace by Joe and Mika. After a couple of episodes of that trainwreck, I found Laura Ingraham on a competing station. WMAL used the same excuse for switching formats. Michael's free speech is the MOST brilliant of any other talk show how, including Rush and Sean. They are not even in the same league as Savage. Michael is like a friend, even though I didn't agree with him sometimes, I would listen to him and have a beer or a glass of wine (I'm on East Coast Time). He is by far the most intellegent talk personality on the air today. And his stories....where else do you hear this type of talk radio? You don't. It's all politics politics politics Obama bad Republicians good....and at this point, I don't want to listen to ANY of this.

HighAboveItAll · 3 months ago

I have been listening to John and Ken for years ... this is a great show. They don't just blab about stuff, they make stuff happen and you feel like you are in on it. They generally would be considered conservative but are not blind "kool-aid" followers of the Republican party. Give them a try ... they have the largest non-syndicated audience in radio (in the LA area) so over 800K people a week can't be wrong.

More contemporary content? Are you kidding me? This is ratings suicide in my opinion, and obvously many others' as well. Along with them, I will NEVER listen to your station again and I will discourage everyone I possibly can to from tuning in to your station. Shame... Shame...

I guess even this "Conservative" station ended up folding to pressure from upper layers who no doubt didn't like all the "negative" publicity Savage stirred with his ban in England. I see tovarishi (Comrads) are totally gone to work in this country. Honestly, this is PRAVDA and media control at it's best. I moved to US from USSR and I can't believe we are going closer and closer to total news control we had back there!!! Just look at all this "love" for Chairman Obama! Scary stuff. Even though I don't agree with Savage on a lot of issues, he speaks the TRUTH!!! And we can loose our right to do that here! I am out. Listening Savage on KDWN. Peace.

"Here's your no-spin direct answer; we have decided to go in a different philosophical and ideological direction, featuring more contemporary content and more local information.The Savage Nation does not fit into that vision."

Translated, I guess that means you are moving in the direction of the new Reich. You didn't ask his millions of listeners what direction we wanted to take. You must be taking lessons from Obama.

Huge mistake. The only reason I have (had) 910 on my presets was for Savage; been a Savage fan for over 12 years. Good think I have internet radio. Bye-bye KNEW.

Banned in the Bay Area.
We will listen to a different station.

Ms. T · 3 months ago

What are you guys thinking?

Let me break it down for you - we used to be a KSFO listening home - Lee Rodgers, Dr. Laura, Savage. Then Savage came to you - KNEW. Now we listen to A&G and Savage. So the common denominator here is Savage. I'm sure your new hosts are just fine and dandy people, but I could care less because I'm just going to go find Savage. I won't be saying "hello" to John and Ken.

"910 AM is now more focused on you, your pocketbook and cultural issues, and we're not afraid to have fun and laugh and entertain you. That's why you listen. This is why it's happening."

Um, no, that's NOT why I listen to Savage. I actually want to be challenged, to think critically, to hear a different point of view than I hear on the letter networks. Listening to Savage is a daily reality check. I don't always agree with Savage and sometimes I wish he would stop yelling, but it doesn't stop me from listening to him. I don't need to be entertained, to laugh, to joke or to have fun at all times - that's not real life. And I don't want to listen to a station that thinks I have to have "be entertained" all day - how stupid do you think your listeners are? What, we can't handle hard stuff - we're too dumb, we only want entertainment!! What dumb market research firm told you that your listeners are a bunch nitwits? What an insult!

"Here's your no-spin direct answer; we have decided to go in a different philosophical and ideological direction, featuring more contemporary content and more local information. The Savage Nation does not fit into that vision."

I do PR for a living, so when you say this is "no spin direct answer" - ha, pleeeeeze!!! Your "reason" for letting Savage is nothing but an excuse, fluff, deflection. Tsk, tsk - you should be much more truthful because it sounds to me like the station is going to be leaning much more to the left now - fine - have the common courtesy to tell your listeners. That at least would make sense.

Another question....what is not contemporary about Savage again? - he talks about current events doesn't he? Oh, it must be because he uses history to back up his points (not contemporary). And we all can't be bothered with a little thing called history - we must "entertained."

Well, you go ahead and "entertain" the sheople and I'll go find Savage.

James · 3 months ago

Your Friend In SoCal · 3 months ago

John and Ken are great and often the only real source of truth about what's going on in CA politics. They deal with a lot of statewide/national issues, so you Bay Area folks don't have to get in a tizzy that "ooooh they are in LA, how can they have any relevance to us". They are never afraid to confront liars and hypocrites and it's very entertaining, but serious too. If you have heard their weekend show up there, that had a very different focus from the weekdays. Give them a chance, I think you'll enjoy it. If not, well, whatever.

Congratulations to the program director for a brilliant move in eliminating Michael Savage from the programming line up! You now have virtually NO ONE left worth listening to, save possibly, the not too local San Diego talent, Roger Hathcock. Are you really THAT afraid of the "Fairness" Doctrine, have you received a dictum from your pay masters or are you working your way toward an "easy listening" format? Warm regards.

Dumping Dr. Savage is clearly subversive censorship! KNEW 910 is apparently pandering to local S.F. "political mafia" and will clearly loose listeners to their "back door" decision. It is very disappointing. KNEW could have avoided any local S.F. city pressures by moving the radio station base to the San Jose south bay area. Thus, keeping the real personality, Savage, while displaying some backbone. Adios KNEW!!!

You have been the lighthouse for the blind. Lives have been altered by stumbling into Savage and now you go Mayberry on us. He spoke so highly of you. Look, there is nothing I can say other than the fact that I didn't listen to savage because I couldn't figure out how to work the knobs on my radio. Palatable funny men, oh my, that's never been done. I like the other guys but savage was my link pin to your station. Moderately funny is everywhere, Savage was like no other. The only good news here is that to the best of my knowledge Savage is probably still ok. I was worried. I really never thought you would buckle so easily.

Dropping Savage is an absolute disaster! I live in Southern Calif and hear John & Ken regularly. They are a snooze. KFI is losing listeners (despite their recent award) and is trying to syndicate everyone to make up the monetary difference. Handel's weekday show will fail. He's a mouth of marbles. He's an admitted ex-drug addict. His law show is useless. Handel proved his immaturity in his on-air fight with Jamie from Star 97.1. I love(d) your station, visiting it more than a few times a week, using the podcasts, BUYING FROM YOUR ADVERTISERS. No more. I'm quite shocked as I was streaming your station only yesterday, and now POOF!
The sea change started when Dr. Laura sank and switched to KFWB and Satellite radio.
This is a mass musical chairs of syndication going on right now and the hosts with loyal listeners will survive. Savage listeners are exactly that.
Read this post carefully, KFI is sinking. Loyal listeners are under challenge and in the future the public will learn what organization(s) are spearheading this drive...

KSFO will now be my station all day once again. You must have been threatened because your reasons to replace a host from SF with two more silly guys just like the AM guys except they are from LA doesn't make sense. How is this local. I would rather listen to Savage than Levin any day but will now listen to Levin from 3 to 6 and Brian Sussman at 6. If you liike Savage give Sussman a try. I listen to the radio all day every day and your "new" programming has lost me. I will probably go back to Hannity as well. I hate changing stations.

You have no idea what you have done for those that used to work at the station. John Scott has ruined the station with this liberal decision. Was Savage too strong for you to stand up for?

Vilian · 3 months ago

I have been listening to the Savage Nation for well over 10 yrs. When he moved to KNEW from KSFO, so did I and many, many others. It is true that he singlehandedly put you on the radio map. He is by no means my idol but he is unique, eloquent and has magnetism, so lacking in today’s broadcasters. A&G I can get from other sources. I will stop listening to your station because it shows that you have no balls. I don't think that you'll broaden the appeal of the station, just the opposite will happen. The spot on the AM dial means nothing by itself. It comes and goes. What remains is the substance.
By the way, Jack and Joe, how comfortable do you feel now? Are you going to think harder and speak your mind only after running it by the GM first to make sure you are following the “New Direction”?
So long.

I followed Savage from KSFO to KNEW. It looks like I have no reason to listen to KNEW any longer.

I listened because of Michael, he's the real deal! The rest are fine but watered down and by no means Michael Savage. I want to know where he went? I woke up to what was happening in this world because of Michael, I have a feeling I was not the only one, that was probably the problem, to many people waking up!!! I can't believe this is happening, you sold us out! Shame on you and Yours!!! Michael where are you?????

Wow, that's wacked. WTF? I always KNEW I could stream the Savage Nation here when my local station had sports on, but sadly, no more. Just like one of our FM stations up here in Portland with an LA morning show. WTF?!? I hate morning shows to begin with, but who the hell wants to hear one from outta town? Good luck with that. :rolleyes:

I really can't see how Weakarm and Spaghetti are rated #1. The only reason I listened to those two babeling women is because my dial was on that station for Michael Savage.

How about committing suicide now to top it off, what you just did.
Something is fishy and it doesn't make sense, and you all don't make sense over there.
One time you couldn't stop bending over backwards for Savage! Now you decided to go into another direction. Well, you keep on going into another direction and I will go into another direction. You guys are out of your minds!

blue2242 · 3 months ago

Ah, a bunch of phonies who pretend they are the "true" voice of America when they don't know the first thing about how freedom of speech is being subdued and no one cares, John and Ken, what garbage, a dime a dozen conservative talk show hosts with no culture, no character, just a bunch of simpletons pretending they have "edgy" and "fresh" views. Michael Savage was the last great talk show host and now we have lost the last shred of honest media in this country. We deserve to live under a communist regime the way we treat freedom of speech, we don't deserve freedom of speech, the men who lost their guts on the sands of Okinawa do, not us. People who cared enough to sacrifice to ensure that we can speak freely. And what happens? We piss on that right, the only reason KNEW dumped Savage for these two morons is because they don't want to stand by anyone, they are in it just for the money. Even FOX stands by that hemorrhoid with a high school diploma who rattles off like he has a sense of politics. Shame on you KNEW, shame.

What a lie!
You have lost a listener.
Savage tells the truth. KNEW does not.
Suggest KNEW replace the people who made this decision.

Sal · 3 months ago

What a unpleasant surprise and foolish move to kick the Michael Savage program off your station. Of course these new L.A. schmucks are really going to boost your ratings. Your explanation about deciding to go in a different philosophical and ideological direction translates to your station's caving into, bowing down to a handful of local rabid anti-Savage organizations. Oh well, good bye KneW and hello KTSE 650 Sacramento

John · 3 months ago

Wow...what a poor choice to walk from Savage -- I was looking forward to hearing him today! As another said, I too was exposed to Armstrong and Gedde only because I listened first to Savage. You had a coup when you took Savage from 560. Now you've blown it. I don't buy the "local" story either. How can you have Beck if you're going local (I like Beck BTW)? Please bring Savage back ASAP.

Mark · 3 months ago

Here is my no-spin direct response. I will no longer be listening to your station. I listen to Lee Rodgers in the morning (I do watch A&G on the TV when I am getting ready for work). On the drive home I listen to Savage. I now have no reason to listen to your station. How long until your station is no longer around? Someone from L.A. is more local then S.F.? I think you need to go back to 4th grade and take geography lessons again.

Unfortunately this station doesn't appear to know true quality. Only the intellectually astute truly get Savage and appreciate him. Deny it if you want but you'll soon find out how much of a following he has. What a shame. I'm moving over to KSFO for the afternoon show and I'm going to try like heck to find out how I can listen to Savage. He's my dose of sanity in this completely radical, liberal-biased bay area and media market. And as far as your demographics, you just lost a black, former democrat, UCB alumni with master's degree, married, mom of two young children living in an affluent bay area neighborhood. Too bad....

It is a sad day that Dr. Mike is not on 910. I'm sure he's a lot of trouble to deal with - But from the listener's side, he's very unique. He's 60% a diatribe and 40% a excellent thinker / spokesman ... That 40% just isn't available elsewhere ...

One can hope he'll return ... I don't always get 650 on the dial ...

You are a FOOL! How DARE you take Savage off the air in the Bay Area! He was our only voice of reason in San Fransicko. I will NOT listen to these guys from L.A.! You just lost a former loyal listener, that will now listen to Mark Levine on KSFO.

Likely result - lower ratings and lower ad revenue

Everyone get yourself a big ole antenna, and tune that dial to 650. Savage is still on over there. I switched over IMMEDIATELY when I heard John and Ken this afternoon.

Gotta love the "no-spin direct answer." John and Ken are out of Los Angeles. Hardly "Local Information." For that matter, A&G aren't local content either, and they should get dumped too, I suppose.

As it happens I like BOTH A&G AND Savage, and BOTH are on at their NORMAL times over at 650. So, I'll be listening over there now.

You won't find our family listening anymore. Michael Savage is the primary talk show hosts who actually makes sense in these troubling times. Does not having Michael Savage mean you are cowards? It certainly means you are dumbing down, as so many institutions have already. Too bad. Shame on you!! The programming you propose is insulting to anyone who thinks clearly. How silly to fill the airwaves with what you have. Goodbye until you gain a bit of reason and courage.

Ken · 3 months ago

Your decision to drop Michael Savage is a huge dis-service to the bay area, your previous audience, and to your station reputation. Like many who have already made comments, your explanation doesn't hold water, and the decision is one your station will regret making business wise and audience wise. What a MISTAKE !!! Makes you wonder where your brains really are. Just for giggles, I listened to Jon and Ken today after hearing a cryptic remark about them being on at 3PM. WHAT ?????? So I listened. 10 minutes was all I could take. I'm finding Savage fast, where ever he is. Not much else on your station is worth keeping the preset which I have had since Michael started on KNEW.

David Veach · 3 months ago

Geez... I'm gonna miss Armstrong & Getty (maybe I can find them on another station?). In any event... I left KSFO when they dropped Michael Savage... now I'm dropping KNEW for the same reason.

Unbelieveable, Un-freakin-believeable. What a sad day this is. Not only for KNEW because you guys are officially doomed, and you know that don't you. I'm sure you can already feel it.

It is really a sad day for the listeners of the bay area and beyond. Michael Savage is our compass in the current corrupt political wilderness. Times are too crazy to remove one of the few people who really tell the truth. My guess is that this station was under political pressure and caved, pathetically.

Michael said this day would come. I just did not think it would come so soon. Is this what we have to look forward to? Free speech being silenced in the name of going in a "different philosophical and ideological direction". When it all goes down, at least KNEW can take comfort in the fact that they pulled back the blinds as free speech went flying out the window.

KNEW, you are now clear to proceed on your way to oblivion. Signing out for good!!

On my way home from work today I turned to 910 am to listen to Michael Savage..He wasn't on the "new boys" were on. I listened to them for a few minutes talking to a restaurant owner about Michael Duvall and his "sex comments" silly kid stuff well basically garbage..I immediately scanned my radio and knew I would find Michael Savage..I did on 650 am. By the way, I love Armstrong and Getty I listen to them every morning on my way to work you cannot "even" compare them to the "new boys"..I will no longer listen to your radio station not even Armstrong and Getty. My radio is now turned to 650..The Savage Nation.

"More stimulating Talk" Yeah, but if two jerks from LA talk in a forest when no one is listening, to they make a sound?

Something fishy is going on. You all dumped Savage for some other reason...

Michael Savage made your station. Now you lose respect and soon you'll be losing money.

As far as Armstrong, Getty, Jon, and Ken: if I want to listen to the shallow babblings of unemployed tradesmen, I can go to a bar. They're the real deal alright- real boring, worthless talk radio.

I'm off to your competitor KSFO now. One liberal owned station is as good as another, at least their programming has some substance. I wish ruin on your new enterprise and I hope a better station will replace KNEW.

I agree with the majority of the other people commenting on you taking Savage off your radio station. I am from Knoxville, TN and our local talk radio station had Savage in their lineup until they replaced him with, as Savage called him, "The Wallbanger". I pretty much quit listening to my hometown station and migrated over to KNEW since I could catch it on the net. The main reason I migrated was because of Savage. Now you say that you are giving a no-spin direct answer to Savage's demise on your station? The statements following that statement sure seem to have a lot of PC fluff to them... I guess the liberals finally got their way in San Fran Sicko...

Damian · 3 months ago

Finally! I think Mike Savage gives conservatives a bad name. He's incapable of going toe to toe with anyone who can string two sentences together (he hits the silence button and talks on top of them or he just hangs up). His "interviews" are so obviously pre-recorded, with him throwing in a few comments to make them sound live. He reminds me of a relative of mine who just loves the sound of his voice. You should give Michael Medved a look too!

Was this a business decision or external pressure? To say your taking it a new direction can only mean you think you can make more money chasing a different, more liberal market. To give up ones values and purpose for $$ is sad. It is best Michael has moved on since he will not waver on his opinions or speaking the truth. KNEW Management has started down a road that will have more compromise in its content shortly and soon will be no different than say MSNBC. To bad! I will move on with Dr. Savage.

Terry · 3 months ago

Here i am on my way home looking forward to Michael Savage, and then these two numb-skulls come on. I almost had to pull the car over because I did not believe when they said they were replacing Savage. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! These guys sound like they share the same brain cell compared to Michael Savage. What is going on here?!!!

You have done a disservice to you your listeners. Its just a shame that you probably won't realize it until your advertisers start pulling out, BECAUSE NO ONE IS LISTENING!

Savage is the only reason most people have your station bookmarked on their stereo. Glen Beck is a distant second, but may be your last hope. If you get rid of him too, you may as well shutdown your equipment.

And what do you men "More stimulating talk"? Did you even listen to Michael Savage? He is the most stimulating host on radio period. He would literally wipe the floor with any of the other host that broadcast on your station. Did you ever listen to the listeners calling his show thanking GOD he was on the air? What the hell is going on at KNEW?

Your station is done. And the feedback you are getting is only the beginning. As more people realize he is now longer on KNEW, you will start to feel it. And realize this the most costly mistake KNEW has ever made.

Goodbye KNEW. It was nice while it lasted.

John & Ken will change the landscape of California now. Bringing these two powerhouses of consensus-thinking to San Francisco will even shock your so-called liberal base into recognizing that conservatives and liberals share far more than you might think - like not paying health benefits to illegal aliens (which liberals are 70% against while conservatives are 90% against according to Rasmussen). So, get prepared Frisco (I know you hate that term) for some great fun, wonderful education and maybe John & Ken will be what brings California together again. I know they are capable of doing this if you will just listen to their non-ideological (ie - not right or left - just what is true and good for California) for a few months first. Then we can ALL march on Sacramento to stop the craziness going on there like the liberal labor unions running the state and the conservative elected officials touting family values while going around town with paid prostitutes.

Your "no spin, direct answer" has me reeling with disbelief. What "different philosophical and ideological direction" are you talking about? What is really going on here? What kind of pressure was behind such a foolish decision? Do you really think that your audience would prefer to "have fun and laugh" while there are important issues facing our nation? You have only served to validate all that Dr. Savage has been trying to tell us for years. This nation is in real trouble. I hope the remainder of your audience will not be distracted like a dolt before a shiny object. Let the sheeple be entertained by KNEW's new format. I will seek my news and information elsewhere.

The local argument is such utter crap. I can't believe it. Savage lives in Marin, talks about the Bay Area all of the time. So you got people from LA?

Savage made your station, after leaving KSFO, after he made that station. Just ask Brian Wilson what happens when you lose your lead-in. He made it about three months.

This makes no sense to me. I have listened to Savage since he was on Sunday nights on KGO and have followed him. Found him today at 650 and replaced your station button with that. I don't always agree with his style, but his take on people and politics are worth hearing.

You took the last free radio-voice in America (and maybe the world) off the air. How smart is that?

Your explanation: "we have decided to go in a different philosophical and ideological direction, featuring more contemporary content and more local information.
The Savage Nation does not fit into that vision."

What kind of explanation is that? Are you insane?

Was it SAVAGE's radical Borders, Langauge, Culture thing you found offensive? I guess that's not contemporary in KNEW's (and Obama's) new-speak world.

Your format is now useless to me now that you have rejected The Savage Nation. I feel sorry for your local listeners as well as your upcoming cume rating which is bound to fall sharply with no more savage... you just banned one of the smartest men in your entire lineup(2 phd's & a masters degree) to add more "Local Yokals" to pump local stories I dont need to even waste my time listening to. I live in AZ and stream the show on my computer every chance I get. So thanks for now giving me NO REASON to listen to your station and no reason for me to patronize your advertisers at all. Last time I checked The Savage Nation was one of the most popular national syndicate shows in radio today. Good Job to the Idiot in the Program Director's seat!

What are you smoking?!?!

Sorry but I don't buy your explanation either. Did Savage get too pricey for you? If so, then it's his own fault for pricing himself out of the market (he'll do fine taking his listeners to KSTE...) or did you really drop him for philosophical reasons? Either way, it's your loss. People don't tune in every day to hear stats on market share and demographics, they listen to feed their souls.

Way to blow it and totally misread your audience. Good job! More American incompetence!

If you dropped Savage for any reason related to social pressures...God help us all.

Steve · 3 months ago

I live in Santa Clara, CA. I have been listening to Michael Savage since he started in San Francisco. HE IS AS LOCAL AS IT GETS! When he came over to 910 KNEW, I followed him to your station. I would look forward to his show EVERY DAY. It was not only the highlight of my day but it was the time that I would get entertainment and news that I could not get anywhere else. Micheal Savage and 910 KNEW were doing a service to the public. You may not realize it but you were. By dropping his show, you have made an irreversible mistake at one of the most critical points in recent American history. People are scared right now and they depend on Michael Savage for his commentary because normal news sources are not talking about the real issues.

I tell you this: Your station will never be as good as it was when Michael Savage was on it. Now, you are just like all of the other lousy vanilla radio stations out there. And Glen Beck is not a replacement for Michael Savage. He is a mainstream stooge just like Bill Oreilly was. It is only a matter of time before his novelty wears off and he gets axed.

You can take me off your list of listeners. I am BLACKLISTING you and your sponsors in protest. If the neo-marxists can do it on the left, I can do it. I could NEVER be more sincere in what I am saying to you. It is from the heart and it is the truth. You have made a terrible mistake.

In closure, I'd also like to tell you that nothing could be a bigger insult to your MOST LOYAL listeners than to BLINDSIDE them the way you did. Somebody needs to fire the moron(s) that made this decision.

I've already removed your stupid radio station from my programed car radio button. Good riddance.

What a horrible decision. Michael Savage changed my life and opened my eyes. He's the wise father figure with a sage and informed muse for many of us. My radio listening consisted of enjoying Armstrong & Getty, withstanding Rob Black, and anxiously awaiting Michael Savage. In my area he's on at 3:00 and would repeat at 6:00. He was ALWAYS worth listening to twice. Now I'll be searching for him on my radio dial. Sorry Armstrong & Getty, I have to say goodbye to 910 now. I can only cast my vote and speak my disapproval by changing the radio dial, and no longer supporting 910 sponsors. You should beg him to come back, and make a large donation to his defense fund to boot. Shame on you. He was the star of your station.

http://www.trn1.com/savage_live
but you have to pay for it, and I don't know if it relies on 910s feed or not. There are a few people who have posted about this site here, can you confirm that TODAY'S podcast is available there? If so I'll make a note of it here.

I checked on itunes, but the feeds there are either a one or two minute blurb, or they're very old.

Armstrong + Getty AND Dr. Savage are both on the air in the bay area at their NORMAL times On
650 on the AM dial.

By the way, the normal KNEW feedback phone message line is full, but you can still call and leave a message on their business and fax line at:

Business Line: 415.356.5500
Fax Line: 415.975.5471

Take two minutes to call them and let them know what you think!

John Scott is the program director. (who was too afraid to put his name on the above post.)

Also, if you're a "facebook friend" with "NineTen KNEW", remember to take them off your list!

A&G are talented-a good show. Savage is a giant in radio. His audience will follow him. You have no one else. Beck is un-listenable. Comes off like a lunatic. Black is a complete bore. I'm going take financial advice from a radio guy? Right. And he's so entertaining. Not. Whatever you think your doing, your wrong. Unless what your doing is trying to kill your business. In which case your brilliant.

I hope you are independently wealthy enough to keep this radio station on-the-air.

First you moved Schnitt out of the way for the failure that is Glenn Beck and now you got rid of Michael Savage. What a joke. I have listened to the radio station for over three years now. I listened to John and Ken today and it was the most lackluster thing I have heard to in a very long time. Not even close to Armstrong and Getty. Wow, 910 KNEW you have failed in an epic fashion. "More stimulating talk"? What a slap in the face. I have no reason to listen to 910 anymore.

What in the H*LL are you thinking??? I always looked forward to being able to find Savage on 910, he says things like they are...and I'm sad to say, EVERYTHING he's been talking about with being banned and that "they're out to get him" is true. I don't want to listen to two "fellas" chattin' it up in their cheesy Los Angeles style...I want Michael Savage. He's one of the few reasonable voices left out there (even if he comes across as slightly insane from time to time), he's dead on...as most everyone else has said...BAD, bad move. You have just lost a HUGE listener base...let's hope you listen up.

Thanks for ruining my and many other people's card rides today. I was visiting SF yesterday and today. I turn on 910 KNEW in SF as Savage always plugs in his show.

Now I have no reason ever to listen to KNEW when I'm in SF.

You guys have obviously knuckled under to pressure from elsewhere: but where? The White House, the FCC, someone?

You guys had a good thing going with Savage: KSFO's loss was your ticket to the prime time, But no more.... I think most of your listener base will go bye bye as I will do and will NOT return.

John and Ken are idiots in my opinion as is the person at KNEW that made this decision.

Your spin above is just a lot of nonsense and you and I both know it.

I have listened to Savage since his debut many years ago on KSFO and I will still listen to him, Just wont be listening to your radio station any more unless and until he is returned to his timeslot.

This is worse than "new coke": you guys blew it in a big way. At least I can hear him on 840AM in the East Bay....

Goodbye K"OLDNEWS." I didn't appreciate not having warning today...was a rude awakening. I missed out on the show that is really the only reason I even turn on a radio, MICHAEL SAVAGE (THE SAVAGE NATION).

I already removed 910 from the presets on both of my cars. Now I will have to pay online at TalkRadioNetwork.com or try listening to one of the other stations mentioned above.

Anyone know if Savage comes through on Satellite? If so, I will sign up immediately.

This sure wasn't the time to take Michael Savage off. Did you poll this in any way before doing it? Much of the time I took issue with Savage, but in these times I was sure glad he had a voice. This station taking a new philosophical direction seems to knuckle under to what I detest about November's political mistake and I am now more worried than ever.

Frank V. · 3 months ago

BIG mistake taking Michael Savage off the air. I did not listen to the Savage Nation to be entertained, if I wanted to be entertained I would go to the circus. I listened to Michael to be informed of the real important issues going on in our world. The Savage Nation is my classroom. (thank you Dr. Savage). I will not be listening to your radio station any longer unless you bring Dr. Savage back. I guess he got too hot for you to handle. You're a bunch of cowards.

How LOW can you get KNEW!! It wasn't long ago that you were congratulating Savage for his years of service to the listeners and his not being afraid to speak his mind. As I recall you were "looking forward to more years of Savage." It is funny how during the interview I noted a hit of disingenuousness in your voice. You know what IT'S YOUR LOSS!!! Look at the poll vote on your website you bums!!! This is a real low time for many as it seems the only true voice left is now silenced. So what is the real reason you dropped him???

The Constitution · 3 months ago

I am definitely surprised that you would drop the #3 rated talk show for unknowns. I hail from Chicago and use to listen to this radio station. Well, no more. Amazing that a "different philosophical and idealogical direction" is code speak for "bowing down in cowardice". Savage is right, the First Amendment is to protect controversial political speech. Have fun with your new line up...I am sure it will be a...success...

p.s.
Barack Obama is a fraud, will always be a fraud. Gotta love the Chicago way...

I want to also mention, that besides the removal/banning? of Michael Savage from the new KNEW...your new website design if horrific in my opinion. It is very bland, like your new lineup of talk show hosts.

I have to say bye bye to 910 KNEW after I listen to your program for years when Dr. Savage left another station that I don't remember its name by now. Managers think they know it all just because they went to an expensive college but most of them have so much titles and diplomas in their brains that there is not enough space for common sense. This poor decision will cost your station more than your reputation, it will sink you. Its umbelievable!!!! No f*** common sense. Good Night!!!

Taking Savage off was a dumb move, these FNGs are not at all what I turn on 910 for. A&G are cool in the morning, and I'm overjoyed that Glenn Beck is back, but why would you keep that boring financial dork on and drop Dr. Savage. Why is it that you say these FNGs are "Californians, doing a California based show, talking about Your state,etc.", when they're from New Jersey and New York, the same place Savage grew up.

910 is a Bay Area station, these guys are in L.A., Savage is a Bay Area local, and has been for decades. This was a bad move, in my opinion. Fortunately I get 650 without too much static in the East Bay.

My advise, keep A&G and Blenn Beck where they are, drop the dumb financial guy and put Frick and Frack from So.Cal. there if you can't live without them, and put Michael Savage back where he's supposed to be.

Your loyal listener from 6AM-10AM and 12PM-3PM, Mike.

I think dropping Savage is a huge mistake for your station, he truly was the voice of the people and was not afraid to speak his mind, this is what makes this country great and what made him so interesting to listen to. I did not agree with him on a number of issues however denying that he is extremely intelligent and very entertaining is foolhardy. Oh well, another listener lost for you.

Obviously there is more to the story than what your explanation reveals. You stated you wanted more “contemporary content and more local information.” The only problem is the replacement hosts are not local. Not only have you made a critical error that will lead to a mass exodus of your listenership and sponsorship, you’ve insulted everyone’s intelligence. I have already reset my presets to 650 on the AM dial, Savage’s new station for the time being. I am sorry to see him go.

Hello, While your 'no spin' reason is complete BS, I am delighted with your decision. Mickey Weiner is an utter ass. Spoiled and insecure, vulgar and woefully full of himself(and other things). He is no good for conservatives, or independents either. I don't now, nor will I ever listen to KNEW, as I live in Sacramento. But I tune in from time to time on KSTE. I can't take his reckless vitriol and childish spite for more than a few minutes. I hope KSTE will follow your lead.

Hmmm... I'm checking back on the new posts and see that they deleted mine. I wonder why they would have removed my post? Anyway, I'm gonna repost and you all can tell me whats so offensive about it. Here it is:

I remember when Michael savage left KSFO and appeared on your startup station. He was a major factor on building your stations listenership, and now that you have plenty of advertisers due to his successful ratings you are making a decision to change direction? He is by far the most interesting and popular radio personality on your station and is the only reason I even programmed 910 KNEW into my radio. Well rest assured that I will also be changing direction... to whatever local station picks up Michael Savage. Though I sometimes listened to Armstrong & Ghetty in the mornings and Glen Beck in the afternoons, I will now purposely avoid ever tuning into your radio station again. Good luck with your new direction... I'm sure you will have no shortage of 'conservative radio clones' to fill his spot but you will never find a sufficient replacement to make up for the huge talent void Michael Savage will be leaving in his wake.

Congrats - John and Ken are superbly entertaining, and a big upgrade from that whiny little brat savage.

Far as I'm concerned, Savage was the anchor show on this station. Beck is fine but well, too contemporary. You should have realized that the outlandish, non-contemporary appeal of Savage was the core appeal of his show. The other is his teach and reach out to history perspectives and parallels that I found to be informative. Now your show has just been transformed from dynamo station to hohum....Bad move!

I am extremely dissapointed with this decision. Furthermore the explanation above obviously does not fully explain the stations reasoning for pulling Michael off the air. This is a serious and critical time in this Nation's history and the truth needs to be told and people need to wake up to what is really going on. Michael's show touched on the issues that are affecting our Nation which tie directly into California. It is sad day when leaders of organizations abandon and compromise truth to protect their own interests. As a result of this decision I will not listen to KNEW 910 moving forward.

John and Ken are fine...but certainly no match for the warmth and wit of Michael Savage. You clearly fail to see that 'everything old is new again' and that Savage could engage both exuberant youth and nostalgic elders to sit in the driveway, listening through the advertising dreck, just to hear a few more sentences about dead man's pants or Teddy pooping in the corner. I suppose this is more proof that radio really is a dying medium...thankfully it appears we can stream the good Dr. online. Maybe i'll take the laptop into the car in the driveway to catch those last few minutes - for old time's sake.

ratingstanker · 3 months ago

A couple of points:
1) Savage made your station, remember. When he was replaced by Hannity on 560am, KNEW 910 was born. Now, you "move in a different direction."
2) California based format. Oh, like Glenn Beck (love him btw) is California based format and Roger Hedgecock (good show also) is also national. So the format switch is a lie. Btw, armstrong and getty: they suck.
Now is the most important time for voices like Savage (and Beck). I smell a liberal rat in the room: Enemies from within!

Attention all talk radio stations, especially this dumb ass station,
do the math;

Rush Limbaugh has an estimated 13 million listener. divide this by 5 days (Mon- Fri) that = to 2.6 million listeners per day, on 461 radio stations, divide the 2.6 million by the 461 stations that = to 5,639.. Listeners per station.

Sean Vanity (Hannity) has an estimated 13 million listeners, divide this by 5 days = 2.6 million per day, on 418 radio stations; divide 2.6 million by the 418 stations that = 6, 220.. Listeners per station.

Now !!! The DOCTOR MS has an estimated 10 million listeners, divide this by 5 days that = to 2 million per day, on ONLY 245 radio stations, divide 2 million by the 245 stations that = 8,163.. Listeners per station

This shows how popular the Doctor is; more than the golfer and vanity, and these radio stations who will not pick up the Savage nation !, its your loss!!!!

So many ways to say what a disappointing and mistaken decision - 'stimulating' talk focused on SF issues was frequently offered up by the local Dr. Savage. I tuned you in because of him and became an A&G fan, and have been developing an appreciation for Roger Hedgcock along the way. Your trite and yet still unbelievably arrogant statement that you know and are providing what we really want defies reality - really, the public doesn't want one of the highest rate talk show hosts??? I had already been offput by a number of changes of the last year, and tuned out the 48hour weekend infomercial/'best of' fests with which you have been polluting the airwaves; count me among those who are now completely turning you off and who will be looking for Dr. Savage & A&G elsewhere. May you become an pirme example of Capitalism - may the station and the advertisers supporting this 'new direction' find your market evaporated and may valued commodities like Dr. Savage and A&G rapidly find many other astute stations to pick them up and audiences to embrace them.

Love A&M in the mornings and listen with my 15 year old son. Nor this one 910!
Greta--smart, ask some good questions, likable, overall weak show, evening newsy
O'Reilly--pompous, leans, not enough heavy punching
Hannity--forget it--mostly only if I'm desperate
Beck--like Beck
LOVE SAVAGE! And the reason the other guys have barely mentioned (kudos, O'Reilly) GB's ban on Dr. Savage is because he name calls them and derides them...and the fact they feel threatened by him because of his brilliant mind. No sugar coating or filtering from Dr. Savage!

I have officially deprogrammed 910 from the car radio. The program director claims no spin and says the station is going to have more local information. He then introduces the replacements Dick and Jane or whoever the hell they are. And they are from LA???????? That's local? That sounds like SPIN to me!

Wish I knew the REAL reason... Whatever.

Big mistake 910. I'll follow Michael on some other station. It sounds like I am not alone. Anyone know how to track radio ratings? It will be interesting to see the free-fall.

I've been listening to this station for years on my way to and from work... but that's it. This decision is ridiculous. Not sure what the vision is but a radio station without listeners doesn't sound like a very good idea.

KNEW management blew it big time. That half-ass reason "going in a different direction" and wanting "more local" is complete crap.Savage made that station and without him it will crumble. Savage was ALWAYS talking about the Bay Areas news, happenings, etc. Wait and see how KNEWs' numblers fall like a rock, they'll fire this program director and bring Savage back. So long KNEW!

It's a sad day for you 910...you're loosing lots of listeners. My entire church for the most part listens to Savage on 910...we'll be using 650 or our iHeart radio iPhone apps to listen elsewhere. Maybe management should do some surveys and research before making such a poor business decision. I work in marketing, and you never want to make drastic changes that affects your core target market and audience...that's us that listen EVERY DAY to Savage. Well, so long - I guess this is my last interaction with 910 ever again. BYE JOHN.

Back to 650 AM · 3 months ago

Bad move for 910 KNEW. Savage was the one unique (either love him or hate him...sometimes both) host worth the time. Just what the liberal establishment in SF needs. Someone to balance out their hair-brained utopian schemes with a cold dose of reality. Maybe the delivery wasn't tactful but the message was clear.

The day I ride my free solar-powered unicorn to see my free doctor receiving hugs and kisses from all that wish to destroy this country is the day I say Savage was wrong.

Gina in SF · 3 months ago

Very sad day in the Bay Area. Lucky for 650 AM. Savage is is the best and the listeners will follow him no matter where he goes. Feels like someone at the station didn't like him. But to just dump him and not inform his listeners is really bad. So bad it stinks. I can't wait to hear the real story from Savage, It'll come out soon I'm sure. 650 Here I come!

Your station sucks except for Savage. His is the only program I listen to on your crappy station with it's piss poor signal. Clear Channel is a company I have absolutely no respect for and all you do is ruin your stations. Hopefully the market demands will drive you out of business and sink you in red ink. You now join Pappas as one of the worst station ownership groups out there.

I'm absolutly shocked that they got rid of Savage. Way to go KNEW for free speech!!! I will NOT listen anymore, but will follow Savage whereever he may go. Do i agree with him 100%??? NO, but alteast he was thought provoking, sincere, passionate, and VERY clever. I understand you can choose to have what programming you want despite viewers opinions but i hope you can also accept the consequences of your ratings tanking.....

What's going on with 910AM's change for the worse. This is horrible, I feel as though we've just traded General George S. Patton for Beavis & Butthead and no they're not anywhere near as good as Armstrong & Getty nevermind General Savage. I do like Roger Hedgecock very much, but he ain't the General. I now with the exception of Rodger and A&G (you'll probably dump them too knowing my luck) have no reason for listening to your staion anymore. I think this so called change in "philosophical and ideological direction" is a bunch of bull s--t, and is just a covert attempt to compartmentalize and divide the national listening audience preventing us Californians from hearing thoughts, ideas, and in some cases, pleas from our fellow country men and women in other states and vise versa. This all under the guise of "featuring more contemporary content and more local information". If you think you doing right by your listeners,... you ain't. We have no need or desire for this change to local sludge content, as we already get plenty of it from the third rate media here. Quite the opposite is true. We need the brightest minds like Savage to help us see and understand the big picture and what's "really going on here".

Now that the podcasts have been removed, all of the rural listeners and overseas listeners can no longer get this show. This includes the folks in our US Military and the good citizens in the UK.

The podcasts were a very important part of the show and they MUST BE BROUGHT BACK ASAP. At the end of the day, this radio station will end up in the trash heap of history. I only care about getting the information flowing again.

Savage is available here:

610 on the AM Dial, but you'll need a quality antenna/receiver to get a solid signal.
(http://www.kste.com)
Listen live there, but no podcasts yet.
Most podcast sources I've seen so far rely on 910s feed.

There is a podcast available here:
http://www.trn1.com/savage_live
but you have to pay for it. According to "yrekadude" who posted here earlier, their feed does NOT rely on 910, and he also said that Savage gets some of the $5.95 per month if you subscribe. (About $4.60/month if you pay for a whole year.) He further stated that he WAS able to download today's show, confirming that they do not rely on KNEW's feed. The subscription includes access to other enjoyable radio shows as well.

I checked on itunes, but the feeds there are either a one or two minute blurb, or they're very old.

Armstrong + Getty AND Dr. Savage are both on the air in the bay area at their NORMAL times On
650 on the AM dial.

By the way, the normal KNEW feedback phone message line is full, but you can still call and leave a message on their business and fax line at:

Business Line: 415.356.5500
Fax Line: 415.975.5471

Take two minutes to call them and let them know what you think!

John Scott is the program director. (who was too afraid to put his name on the above post.)

Also, if you're a "facebook friend" with "NineTen KNEW" or "910AM", remember to take them off your list!

Michael Savage was fantastic. Americans are tired of mis-truths, liars and political manipulators. It was so refreshing to have an announcer that didn't worry about who he was offending. I am sick and tied of the PC insanity! We are sick an tired of the illegal immigrant flooding California and no one I mean no one talking about it! What about free speech who is defending that? This actually reeks of sensorship!!! Did Obama put you up to this? You guys really blew this one!! I sure hope someone else will pick up Michael Savage in the Bay Area! KSFO is laughing all the way to the bank!

Well, since 910 KNEW was hosting the Savage Nation podcast and no local station carries his broadcast in my area, I currently have no way to listen to his show. First, he is Banned in Britian and now he is Banned from my Ipod. I have been listening to him for nearly a year. I have to say, that his show was the most entertaining and informative of the bunch. I hope that Savage will start hosting his own podcast and start his own online broadcast as he has mentioned a few times on his show. But for or now, this member of the Savage Nation will remain- "Cut off, behind enemy lines."

I'll have to check out the Cable Radio Network as suggested by John Locke. http://jnkish.blogspot.com/2009/09/michael-sava...

Well meathead bet you didn't think Savage had so many loyal listeners who would speak up about your dumb station decision to drop Savage. Well there are also people like me across the country who listen to the show via iHeart radio on our iPhones. What exactly did Savage say that would make you drop the show after how many years from your station?
Glad to hear that he is still on the air in San Fransicko and heard on 650KSTE which also heard on iHeart radio so I get to hear the show still live.
Thanks to the loyal listeners and their info on the broadcasting of the show I will still get to hear the show when I'm not at home and have access to a computer to stream the show.
I'm sure the sponsors of you station will appreciate the drop in sales they see in the future. Good job meathead!

I have never listened to KSTE 650, but since Savage is now there...I guess I will find out what else they have on their lineup. You may have really hurt your other shows, too. I like A&G and would listen to that a$$clown Rob black because I was too lazy to try and find something else on another station. But know I am going to check out everything on KSTE 650. You say you got rid of Savage because he was not local enough, yet you just signed up Glen Beck a few months ago.

Why did you decide to go in a new philosophical and ideological direction? Could you please be specific about your new philosophy? It doesn't appear very logical, and vague answers tend to erode your credibility.

Chris in NYC · 3 months ago

- You will go the way of KRON, irrelevant, no ratings, soon out of business. HAHAHA
- The pictured middle manager above is just a front man for the corporate interests who made this decision. He is not an entrepreneur, and I am sure he didnt build this company. Similar to the Scottish Justice Minister.
- Savage often makes the comparison of old media to silent films, and new media to Talkies. 910KNEW are silents, and without Savage, who will advertise there?
- Jon and Ken are your typical schlocky no opinion empty headed FM DJ's who came over to talk. They often sound like giddy nerdy teenagers. Its painfully obvious when you hear them.

Oh Yeah, and you screwed up my day now that my podcast didnt update with a new Savage show.

Bill Hubartt · 3 months ago

It can't get amy more local than Michael Savage! Savage's philosophical and ideological positions I share, and he is the only one talking so on the radio; the rest of your programming is "softball". I think you are being less than honest in your "no spin direct answer". It has been a great few years listening to KNEW; I listen no more after this move.

At some point in the mid-to-late 90's, Dr. Savage seemed to become angry for anger's sake, with more prejudice and conspiracy theories. That's when I stopped listening. I gave him numerous chances while on 910am, but just couldn't reconnect. I'm much happier with John and Ken, who I used to listen to on 1350am in Santa Rosa. If I wanted, I could still get Savage on Sac's 650am...but I won't.

Attention all talk radio stations, especially this dumb ass station,
do the math;

Rush Limbaugh has an estimated 13 million listener. divide this by 5 days (Mon- Fri) that = to 2.6 million listeners per day, on 461 radio stations, divide the 2.6 million by the 461 stations that = to 5,639.. Listeners per station.

Sean Vanity (Hannity) has an estimated 13 million listeners, divide this by 5 days = 2.6 million per day, on 418 radio stations; divide 2.6 million by the 418 stations that = 6, 220.. Listeners per station.

Now !!! The DOCTOR MS has an estimated 10 million listeners, divide this by 5 days that = to 2 million per day, on ONLY 245 radio stations, divide 2 million by the 245 stations that = 8,163.. Listeners per station

This shows how popular the Doctor is; more than the golfer and vanity, and these radio stations who will not pick up the Savage nation !, its your loss!!!!

Hey DOC good things always happens to good people. This just might be a blessing for you..

Michael Savage constantly talked about issues concerning the Bay Area and brought it to a national audience on a nightly basis.

As program director, you might feel like a big shot pulling a power play now, but this was about he worst move from a business perspective. J & K don't sell north of Ventura.

KNEW's "no-spin" statement regarding the ouster of Michael Savage should read: "Hey, we caved in to the homosexuals to whom Savage is public enemy # 1." Certainly, Savage's ouster indicates that KNEW is spineless and far more interested in political correctness than it is with providing stimulating no BS talk radio.

Kyle Krajewski · 3 months ago

Dumb, dumb, dumb. I'm not just talking about your decision to take Micahel Savage off the air, but listening to John and Ken yesterday. After years of being intellectually challenged by Michael, I was dissapointed to listen to them rant with some woman in Yorba Linda who defends the assembly man in that area beacause hs is a friend even though she doesn;t pay attention to media or current event. Why wast 5 minutes of my valuable time listening to that drivel? She would have never seen the light of day on the Savage Nation. Sure, I will listen to Armstrong and Getty in the morning. They are terrific. But I will be going somewhere else in the afternoon. You made a mistake.

I can see by the responses everyone is pissed. Listen these morons at KNEW are just following orders from daddy Clear Channel. As many of you are well aware CC owns a crap load of stations across the country. CC flagship talk station is KFI 570 out of Los Angeles. KFI makes daddy CC Lot’s of $$$$. This is where John and Ken are based out of. If you’d like to know more about the hack’s John and Ken or KFI and general check out this website.

http://www.therealkfi.com

“more stimulating talk radio” is the tag line KFI has used for many years. They are turning 910 into a second incarnation of KFI. I hypothesize this will backfire on them. I for one am done with KNEW. I don’t think Bay area conservatives are near as gullible as Orange county conservatives. Time will tell.

Again check out therealkfi.com to learn about what pieces of utter crap John and Ken are.

Too bad that 910 is caving in and letting savage go, he now stands more alone than ever. A & G are fine to a certain point but they never go past it. They are very calculating and commercial while "sounding" clever and independant. By the way, the commercial breaks on TV50 for A & G are way to HUGE, up to 9 minutes of commercials to come back for 30 seconds of air? I have to turn the channel everytime this happens. Now we are going to have the LA version of A & G, John and Ken. Not bad guys at all, it just will be too much of the same style of canned out rage. Michael Savage is the "real" type of outrage I will choose to listen to. Way to play it safe KNEW 910, tucking your tail between your legs. I bet you won't let A & G comment on the loss of Savage will you? Off to KST 650 @ 3pm I go. You disappoint greatly...

ladyesquire · 3 months ago

FINALLY!

I began listening to Savage during the primaries. I'm as Liberal as they come, but I liked hearing the counter arguments made by Savage. I knew he didnt like any of the candidates. At first, his opinion was entertaining, witty, and thought provoking. Then something changed... A black man became President.

As the days of President Obama's administration grew longer, the more disgusting Micheal's rhetoric became. I found it painful to listen in on many broadcasts. My unborn child literally kicked me uncontrollably on the days I could actually listen for more than 10 minutes. Micheal's debate seemingly changed from political rhetoric to personal hatred for Obama. Savage is far worse than Rush Limbaugh.

Banned in Britain. Banned in the Bay. Now let's get to solving the nation's problems through constructive debate which can never be accomplished through narrow vision, or sexist and racist rants.

See ya Mike.

Hunnit · 3 months ago

Constructive debate? I can honestly say, since Obama has been in office, I don't know of any occasion where Obama has participated in open, honest-to-goodness debate. Even Obama's socialist cronies in Congress don't want to hold any town halls over health care because they don't want to debate. Nobody in his administration or on his side of the isle is willing to debate. In fact, when Republicans are supposed to be invited to various committee meetings, they are not even asked to attend. Meetings are held even without their knowledge. We are in a crisis, my friend, don't you know? That's why everything has to be done in a hurry, late at night, in the dark, behind closed doors, in secret, without any debate. Goodness gracious, there's no time for that. Like Geithner says, 'never let a good crisis go to waste.' When are you going to learn that dictators don't debate. They dictate. Michael Savage is a master of real, true, honest debate.

During that time, he has been on ( 3 ) different stations here in the Valley. I've been through shock, panic and withdrawal before. It sucks! I think I went through ( 2 ) days during one transition where I couldn't find him on local radio, so I went on the net and found several radio stations that I could stream from.

Joe Do · 3 months ago

Thank you, sir for your brilliant move of taking that poor, deluded monster Savage off the air. I have no doubt that scores of other stations will be soon taking your lead. His worn out under imminent siege shtick was really getting old--dated, belonging in the previous century. Recently, he had been constantly airing these weird staged interviews that he had written himself, had some radio voice-over guy, who he would give a fake name and call "Doctor..(somebody)" who is an expert on .......read the script in a very melodramatic fashion, then Savage would play the tape--always about life as we know it in America coming to an end, with Savage interjecting some inane comments into some pauses in the "conversation" in an effort to make it seem like a real, live interview. It was really getting scary bizarre. I figured he started realizing how isolated and insular he appears and wanted to bring on other "experts" to try to make it look like he is not alone in his wacked out paranoid conspiracy theories. So ironic how for nearly 20 years he has been sounding the alarm that America's demise is at hand, and surprise, surprise, we're all still here.... and THRIVING!

Again, thank you so much for your brilliant move of canning him. Your station is far too classy for the likes of trashy Savage. I hope many more stations follow your lead, giving Savage a little free time to get the psychological care he so desperately needs.

Thank God Almighty you've scuttled the Mean and Coarse Mickey Weiner-Savage for a more reasonable and responsible show. Savage was an insult to the stations listeners and was a mere acolyte of the likes of Rush Limbaugh and the midnight riders who call themselves Militiamen in the backwaters of America. I can't believe the morons who listened to Savage would have the temerity to come back and vomit up complaints against station management for Cleaning House. The cowardly and niggardly mental midgets who get high on Savages GOP Hate all deserve to be hooked up to a battery with a reminder that black is negative and red is positive and throw the switch on them. Who needs these dangerous malcontents who only respond to civil unrest encouraging Town Hall disorder, Teabagging, fanning the Birther foolishness. It's about time the tragic events of 9/11 will no longer be a daily staple for Rightwing Loons who have milked the event for all its worth for too long. We hear it even now as some Savage listeners condemn management for flushing Savage for the sewage his show generates. .

I am a Savage fan and listened to his rhetoric on KNEW for years. I am black, well educated, and recently retired from a management position in one of the largest California/national corporations. Admittedly, I have been concerned about his descent into ranting about racial, political and social issues but have noted that he is quoted, copied, mimcked, and followed by all the major talk shows and newspaper commentators, including my beloved A&G. The Savage Nation was a perfect and needed follow up to and preparation for A&G, OReily, Ronn Owens, The View, etc.

I know John and Ken from frequent trips to LA and welcome them. However, we all know that the two, along with The View, et al, will be monitoring and running the Savage Nation notions.

THANK YOU for giving Michael Weiner Savage the boot. It should have happened LONG, LONG ago, but kudos to you for finally coming to your senses. His brand of insanity is in no way good for America, and goddamnit, he's literally poisoned scores of minds with his hogwash. I believe that some day soon the truth will be made abundantly clear about how and why Michael and his crappy ilk have come to dominate the airwaves...and who's been grea$ing them all for their undying support of the corporatocracy that sees "we, the people" as just expendable pawns and cannon fodder in the quest for never-ending profit. IMHO, Michael's a paid advocate for a certain strain of extremely wealthy, and very nasty bad-guys, and those guys don't give a damn about you and me. If you can't see that, I suggest you open your eyes. Farewell Michael, ya stinkin' hump!

I also looked at some of your adds. I listened to some of your other commentators too. No more. I'm sure I wasn't the only one. Savage had an international audience. Acutally I very grateful to you. From your irate former listeners, I've learned of other radio stations that not only carry Savage but have a better lineup than you had even when you had him! Cake and icing! Thanks much!

I think that both KNEW and Savage are being dishonest about the break-up. Why can't either of them lay the cards on the table and let us listeners form our own opinions as to what to do about it. As Savage always says "follow the money we'll get our answer".

The New World Order of KNWO was probably paid off by The Hem.
Either way, I think everyone needs to fill up the complaint box with e-mails. Not that it will do any good since the station has been bought out by Obama and the NWO.
My hope is that Savage and Alex Jones will team up and shut these commies down!

Michael Savage was "contemporary" as it gets, and unless these new hosts are living in the studio, as local as possible. So if there is any truth at all to the "no spin" b.s., it's because the station is going in a "different philosophical and ideological direction." i.e. toward liberalism. It's been nice listening to KNEW, but I'm going to have to go in a direction away from this station.

Bring Dr. Michael Savage Back! We are outraged we spent everyday listenting to 910 Knew talk radio from 3 to 7 to listen to Dr. Savage. We will not tune in to hear JOHN & KEN! they are not Dr. Savage and that is who we want to hear. Your station is now MUTE to us. I am posting on myspace and Facebook your decision to remove WITHOUT TELLING US ABOUT IT FIRST. WHERE CAN WE FIND HIM? Your station is HISTORY and Past we will not turn it on until you bring DR. Savage BACK! I would assume you are bombarded with these type of comments. Perhaps OUR voices can Bring him Back to your Station. If not THEN YOU GET TO GO TO HELL WITH KNEW 910!

This obviously was not a business decision because Savage had the 3rd largest following in talk radio. So that tells me that the decision was personal. I thought that the golden rule of any business is to separate business matters from personal matters. I guess that rule only applies if you want to run a successful business which 910 will no longer be able to do without Savage. He is the only reason that I even heard of 910 KNEW. Well I am another listener lost which I'm sure will be only one of the millions lost thanks to the schmuck or schmucks running 910. My final words are that it is your loss KNEW, you lost the best talk radio host in the nation as well as his loyal following which totals in the millions. Your station has the same worthless, idiotic leadership as our country.

Goodbye KNEW. I've decided to go in another direction. Savage was primarily responsible for the overall success of the station. He makes me crazy at times but is always compelling and entertaining and informative - a very tough combination to achieve in any media.

Political pressure must have gotten too much for you cherries. You have made a fateful decision for this station, which in the end will cost you the job you so sheepishly wish to protect.

Anybody know where to pick up a Michael Savage podcast now that this station has dumped him? iTunes is giving me a "not found" error. Seriously, this was the last radio station I listened to. Most of my in-car listening was podcasts and audio books. Now I guess I don't listen to any radio.

Iris · 3 months ago

I'm completely disgusted and surprised by your move to get rid of Savage. He is the best host on all of radio, he is who made your station popular. I think you are being complete hypocrites by your statement. If you are focusing on local hosts, which smells like co-towing to the left to me, why do you have Glenn Beck on your station? He is a nationally syndicated host also! I love Glenn Beck also and do not wish he was gone, but it shows your complete double-standard in treating two nationally syndicated hosts differently. I will no longer be listening to your station. You made a big mistake and will loose many listeners.

Bay Area Native · 3 months ago

Last night I hopped in my car to start the long commute home. The radio is permanently on, and the station has been perpetually set to 910 KNEW. But, this time, The Savage Nation was not on, and neither were any of the traditional stand ins for Michael.

I grabbed my Blackberry and Google'd Savage and Bay Area only to learn that KNEW decided to drop the show. At that exact moment, KNEW was deleted from the pre-set on my radio. Goodbye KNEW for my morning commute, and goodbye for my afternoon.

As soon as Michael's new station is announced (and I hear they are lining up), they will get my ears - both in the morning and afternoon.

Goodbye KNEW, there will be no turning back.

P.S. The John & Ken show is lame

I have to be honest. This station has a really strong lineup and always has (With exception to Lou Dobbs). I enjoy or enjoyed Armstrong and Getty, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Jerry Doyle, Dennis Miller and Roger Hedgecock.

It's really hard to cram a bunch of talent in a 24 time period. I completly understand why some shows have gone and others have been picked up. What I don't understand is how the hell you can say adios to the best show you had on the air.

You've definitely "jumped the shark" with this move.

I hope that by "we have decided to go in a different philosophical and ideological direction" you don't mean slight variations of the same thing. That's boring. I don't want to hear the same thing i heard in the morning on my way to work, when i'm on my way home from work. I'm sure the new guys are fine, but, those are some huge shoes to fill and most likely, unfillable.

The thing i love about michael is that he went into his personal life a lot more than anyone else on the radio. He would talk about some bad chinese food he ate the night before, or how he walks through the mall and gets irritated by the music blarring on the speakers, etc. That's what made him interesting and refreshing, and why he resonated so well. I felt like i knew him personally, which was another reason I'd tune in...wondering what's irritating Michael today.

I didn't always agree with his views, and sometimes got a little bored with him being so consumed with the banned in england thing. But, that's fine. I respect it. If i wasn't into the topic, i'd listen to something else. However, 90% of the time, i enjoyed listening to him no mater what the subject was. It wasn't even the subject that mattered, it was his story-telling abilities, his charm, his cynicism, and his short fuse that made him compelling. And, it was refreshing to hear someone talk from a perspective you don't hear anywhere else. He would often say what is probably on the minds of many others, but he's the only one that had the huevos to say it.

I assume that he might not have been a KNEW "team player", that people probably didn't sit with him in your lunch break room, that he was often the water-cooler topic, and that his reserved seat at your company christmas party was probably always empty year after year, but, he was a gold mine. Like many have said here, they know about your station only after discovering Savage. And recently, with the New Yorker piece, the england thing, i'm sure there was more and more exposure to your station, more google hits to your website, etc. Oh well, you have your reasons, and that's fine. I just think that you will not be able to recover from the lost ratings. And, people that love Michael will be very upset and will avoid you on the dial out of spite.

scottinsj · 3 months ago

This action does make me wonder - was this a tactic of Obama's administration? First we see Savage banned in Britain (alleged Obama connections involved) and now we see Savage banned on the most popular talk radio station in SF. Is this a precursor to the left's fairness doctrine, or is it the 'fairness doctrine in motion" without the sanctity of congressional action?

This is the time for you to show who you are as people if not now when? when they can throw you in jail for saying a thing they don't like to hear? I don't agree with every one of Michael's notions but at least he was educated enough before letting his lips flap.You don't really think we are all hillbillys, guntotting , racist, dumdums.

Right now I'm listening to Dr. savage on KSTE. He's the most stimulating an entertaining radio personality on the air. It is SOOOOOOOO refreshig to hear somebody talk who has not been brainwashed by PC niceties. Savage is popular because he echos the views of most Americans. The old adage about "the ring of truth" is so true. The unvarnished truth is exciting and infinitely interesting. Savage may not always be correct, but he doesn't let that stop him saying hat is truly on that fascinating mind of his. Savage is for people who choose not to inform themselves via sound bites, ditzy news babes or cheezy Opie and Anthony routines.

Mike Savage broadcasts from California. He lives in California. So what is this 'I hired Bebe and Bobo because they're Californians!' nonsense? As I understand it, Mike was losing the 3-6 ratings battle in SF. So why can't you just say Savage is gone because he wasn't making the grade?
Typical PD spin.

I have nothing against the guys you're bringing on. I am familiar with them and think they do good work. But I'm disappointed you yanked Savage.
This was a bad decision. I'm turning off KNEW. Not because I think Savage is the end all be all of talk radio, but because I think he's one of the more interesting radio personalities.

I never listened to your station until I discovered his show - I was unexpectedly delighted with your station for having the guts to carry his alternative opinion.

As an avid listener to political thought across the spectrum, i believe in the "tolerance" of alternative viewpoints. How does your business decision comport with that standard ?

Will you have the guts to post your ratings BEFORE and AFTER you dropped Michael Savage ?

Can you please explain how "lower ratings" fits your "business philosophy" ?

Hoping you will reconsider your business decision, or at least explain it to millions of confused, former listeners and customers you have now lost.

You guys do realize that KSTE 650AM out of Sacto is ALSO a Clear Channel station, right?

I have been a longtime listener to your station. The main draw for me was Savage. No disrespect intended toward "the new guys", but there is no way they can hold a candle to the man that built your station.He was, and is, an articulate sane voice of opposition in the sea of leftist progressive politics that is the bay area. I won't say that I will not completely tune out 910, as I am a fan of Armstrong and Getty aswell, but I will definitely be listening to 650AM during TheSavageNation. I cannot help but laugh a little bit at your statement in changing your ideological/philosophical direction...I still heard Beck on this afternoon, and he is just a more comedic, less effective version of Savage. Or are you gonna drop him too? Your station is now worse as a result of Savage leaving. Way to stay loyal :/ Actually Savage may retire soon any how, perhaps he wanted some sort of open contract and that was the reason. Either way...now you have a weaker line up of less attractive hosts. Contemporary, my behind. There is a reason he is one of the most listened to hosts on radio. He is intellegent, highly educated, informed and current. I just hope this station doesn't completely go "contemporary" on us, and becomes just another Vanilla pc bay area station.

Michael Savage was your draw to this station, back in 2004 when you were building up 910 as a new station it was Michael Savage you turned to! The Savage Nation is just the voice we independents really need living in the bay area where our thoughts and point of view are to scarcely voiced here.

Well guess what? The same great station in Sacramento where I first heard Armstrong & Getty, and Michael Savage is still there providing the same great shows they always have. Everyone- please join me in listening online and send 910KNEW the wake up call they need.

Looks like it's nearly unanimous. The people have spoken.

Obviously, it's not your listeners who seemed to have shifted their listenership to KSTE 650 in Sacramento. From reading the comments, it seems that KNEW had a dedicated group of listeners who've now jumped ship since Savage was dumped. Good bye radio 910. Hello radio 650! I'm jumping ship with the rest of them!!!

Mike · 3 months ago

As a first time blogger, I agree with one of the earlier comments:..."shot yourself int he head with a dumb f*** bullet".

This one talkshow host, over the past 15 years, is exactly what he describes himself as "being an island of sanity" while broadcasting and living in a world of insanity. While operating a business since 1978 in thie City, the creeping liberals require one to resist the temptation, almost daily, to slam your head into the wall, while trying to make a living, earn a profit, whiel at the same time trying to abide by the increasing attempts by the Mayor and his socialist Board of Stupervisors, to redistribute the shrinking wealth of the hard working business owners that operate in and provide the tax base for this City gone mad.

While Michael Savage has moved to AM 650- KSTE Sacramento- weak signal and all, I am confident that he will return. AM 650 has now replaced AM 910 in my truck.

Christ, going in a different direction, give me a break. If that is truly the case, you really don;t have a grasp on the definition of a good thing!

Here's my response. Taking Savage off was the stupidist thing you could have done and you have permanently lost a listener. I like Armstrong and Getty but will no longer listen to them since you have made this bone headed decision to get rid of the best radio broadcaster in history. And by the way, he is contemporary and lives in California which you would know if you had ever listened to all the great observations he has made about this state.

Savage was the only host worth listening to on KNEW, so your advertisers have just lost another pair of ears.

I am glad to admit that i do listen to Glenn Beck and A&G but the afternoons go straight to hannity and levine and Dr. Savage on 740 am a Nevada station instead of your absofuckinglutely pathetic new downgrade. I have never been this pissed at a station I loved. Fuck your decision and your spineless new angle that reminds me of our venerable communist dictator's weasel- like positioning. More stilulating talk my fucking cock!

Welcome John & ken, Savage is good but not main street, too cynical. I love his stories but to hell with this is one mans opinion crap. Lets get the facts, hes a good orator & entertainer. Savage probably got banned in Britain when he criticized the queen after being touched by Michelle Obama stating "she probably got aroused" yet going back to saying God bless the queen on BBC after being banned. He's name should be taken off the list and let him enjoy his freedom of speech.

Here's MY no-spin direct answer to yours - you wanted to dump - shall we say "ban" - Michael Savage from your station because he's right about: 1) the communist cliff Obama is marching us towards and 2) the ineptitude and moral corruption of San Francisco public officials and you want to move to what you believe is safer ground (AKA "Barbie and Ken"). Savage was the only host worth listening to on KNEW, so your advertisers have just lost another pair of ears.

Rob · 3 months ago

I never understood why a radio station in SF would carry someone who trashes SF so much. Or course Weiner (Savage's real name) still wants to be on the radio in SF - kind of ironic isn't it that someone who hates SF so much is now begging other stations in SF to pick him up.

jameskingjhk · 3 months ago

Get a grip, folks. The program director of 910 is the same PD as Green whatever, the local liberal station. This is the entertainment industry. Ratings. Ann Coulter and Bill Maher are entertainers. They spew their opinions, rile people up into froth, then go out for drinks. Same deal with the politicians in DC. They're in it for the money; nothing wrong with that. I'm in favor of capitalism. I liked John and Ken when they were syndicated years ago. I'm tired of Savage. I wish somebody would pick up Michael Medved; he's incredible.

mn · 3 months ago

Medved is weak because he always hangs up when he can't win an argument. His show is middle of the road, snotty, and only about politics.

He once commented that Savage's show was "simplistic." I wholeheartedly disagree. Savage with his poetic, history-based, philosophical, and comedic rants and monologues is the king of good talk radio.

This radio station was nothing before Michael Savage joined and your ratings will fall with his departure. I have already changed all of my radios.

Why don't you change you "call signs" while you are at it to "KBAN".

dok · 3 months ago

A bit of background: I have listened to conservative talk radio for over 20 years, and have listened to them all. It seems that our country is one that has forgotten how to laugh; forgotten how to forgive and forgotten how to draw clear lines between humor and hatred.
Go to other countries of the world, such as Ireland or Australia, and you'll get a perspective of people not afraid of "offending" you. If you are acting like an ass, they'll tell you straight up.
Now enter "The Savage Nation" I have listened to Savage for over 12 years, and as a discerning adult, can see where the lines of humor and fact are drawn. Your station, by removing his commentary, is attempting to appease his loyal local listeners with weak responses of "local color" and "regional news". Bullshit. We see right through it, and I can speak for thousands of other Bay Area fans of Savage -- we will just delete the 910 preset station on all of our radios and will flock to the station that has the guts to put Michael Savage back on. Goodbye, 910 KNEW. Savage was the only one worth my valuable time.

Your station will suffer ratings and hit you hard in the "pocketbook" for ousting Savage. Aside from his political views, he is a good storyteller. I enjoyed the adventures of his past . . which so many of us related to . . his sharing of recipes .. and his knowledge and expertise in the field of medicine. I have no interest in tuning into the 2 new guys--have nothing against them, but we already have Armstrong and Getty. John and Ken will prove to be too much of the same. There's no one like Michael Savage. Bet you never realized how many of us conservatives are in the Bay Area--how many of us believe in the First Amendment.

Glenn Beck is considered "local" to San Francisco? How much more local can you get than Michael Savage? Because of Savage, I knew about the best and worst restaurants in San Fran. He was also the only reason that I listened to KNEW. Surely the station managers can see this will have a dramatic impact on their advertising revenues? As if things weren't bad enough for them because of the economic recession. Now they will learn how bad it will get because of the talent recession that they mandated.

I like the new format! I listened to Dr. Savage originally which is how I got acclimated to 910 KNEW, and I am a listener from Brentwood / Nashville TN! I listened at first through the podcasts, then on iheart radio on my iphone. After a few months Dr. Savage got boring, all he did was complain, yes he made valid points but with him always saying how smart he is and pushing his books his written I really got turned off by it, I wanted entertainment and not some rants by a grumpy man who also tries to sell you his thoughts in book form. I then stumbled upon Armstrong and Getty and have been listening to them every work day for the last 7 months since finding them! They are a great show and I love that you are now directing the rest of the station towards the Armstrong and Getty format. It's a brave change and I applaud you for it, in fact I plan on looking for podcasts for the new show and also will try to listen live on iheart radio when I can!

One request, Jack and Joe have been in that little room for 6+ years I hear. Any chance Clear Channel or 910KNEW can put some new carpeting in their studio! :) It doesn't happen often but every now and then then get on a rant on how old the carpeting is!! lol.

Let's hope for Jack's sake that nothing ever happens to Joe as he is solely responsible for their Success IMO!
Joe Getty is a good man and a talented commentator... keep up the good work Joe. Having said that, I'll probably tune into Lee at KSFO now in the mornings just for reasons non other than to pull bandwidth from KNEW in the hope that through your advertising some bit of cop on could be had for the powers that be at this station
when the dwindling numbers begin to surface!
Without question 650 AM will be the obvious choice on the drive home from here on

Hey, what's up with the KNEW guy picture on the top of the page?? It looks like he just took a good whif of shit! HAHAHAHA!!!!

jeff_from_campbell · 3 months ago

You guys are getting soft from all your success and caved into pressure from the Left didn't you? I've listened to John and Ken the last couple of days and they are as vanilla and nothing new as can be. You guys blew it with Schnitz
or whatever the heck his name was and you've blown it again! At least you did one thing right in bringing back Glen Beck......

Ursula Knight · 3 months ago

I am really upset that you would remove Michael Savage. He was the jewel in your crown. You are dead to me and I will never listen to KNEW again. Without Savage, I have no reason to. I hope you feel lose much revenue from this move. I know you will certainly lose many listeners. Your official "reason" for removing Savage is a joke; and his replacements are an even bigger joke. Goodbye, KNEW.

You lost me as a listner to your station by taking Michael Savage off. Once again we see that no one wants to hear the truth.We are losing more and more.........

Viejo Bombo · 3 months ago

So, we're down to A&G, Beck, and a bunch of filler, Tried to listen to J&K. They are just a couple of LA guys that have swallowed the conservative koolaid. They have not the education, historical insight, or entertainment value that Savage has. Nor the heart and soul. Just a couple of LA guys spewing the agenda. Albeit a transplanted New Yorker, Savage resides in Marin county and nails Bay Area subjects. J&K don't realize anything exists north of San Fernando, except what they read on the wire. So cut the "California boys" crap. I'll be around for A&G and Beck, but will be elsewhere 3-7. Not much on they other side of the dial either, although Gold is mildly enterianing. Suss is just another soulless Republican twit. Fortunately I love music too. By the way, Beck is really, really good. Since you've blundered Savage, why not program Glenn 3-7, and if you must keep J&K (do they have pics of you naked with a minor?) Schedule them where they belong. With the rest of the filler. The 3am-6am Sunday slot would be generous.
Return Savage! You've forgotten your roots and are losing your market.

So I guess this is how it goes down. There is not enough political power on the left to force the fairness doctrine, so radio stations will simply begin to voluntarily implement it. What did you get in return for canning Savage? He is what keeps you station alive in the afternoons so it had to be something good.
Count me in as among the 90% of commenters here that tell you to take your "contemporary" radio station and shove it. 650 is a perfect option for me here in the Sacramento area.

Savage fans, here's a suggestions: perhaps it's time that you start listening to and interacting with people OUTSIDE of your hell belly circles! You might actually learn something new. Use your brain for a change. You are 'Great Americans' ... here's a pat on your back!

"These are Californians, doing a California based show, talking about things that are happening in YOUR state."

John & Ken cover LA and Orange County stuff. SoCal is their market. KNEW has screwed up.

chrisrb · 3 months ago

Dropping Michael Alan Weiner, aka The Savage Weiner (maybe 'cuz his weiner is too small, I imagine) was the best, most intelligent thing John Scott could do on KNEW.

We don't need the likes of this guy on the public airwaves, which are owned by all Americans in common, not just by and for a small number who like to act like proto-fascists and lying hate mongers.

Good decision. The market is passing judgement against immoral garbage like the kind this guys spews.

Too Bad about my hero Dr. Savage, I used to tune you in when he when KSTE wasn't coming in. Oh well, it's your loss. I'll just go to 1290 (don't know the call letters)out of Marysville, CA, I believe, at 6:00 PM. Good Bye. What? Is he now banned in San Francisco?

Just BLOCKED your station on my companys 150+ computers. Bad move. Who are you afraid of????????? Your other host's are predictable and BORING! Savage is the best there is in this business. WOH ARE YOU AFRAID OF??

Naem · 3 months ago

hypocrite much?

Milo Divincenzo · 3 months ago

That explanation was ALL spin...contemporary content?...local content? Aren't John and Ken in L.A.? Dropping Savage was a cowardly move and your explanation was completely transparent.

Former 910 Listener · 3 months ago

BEEEEEP... that was the sound of my car preset button changing from 910 to 650. Big week indeed.

Bye Bye

Peter · 3 months ago

Judas (who gave you the 30 coins)!!
I will make it my life mission to remove you off the air! How dare you remove Savage. As an account major, I can tell you not only you will lose the listeners based, but also the advertisers. My kids never seen me this angry before. Piss off 910 (click)!!!!!!

Meribel · 3 months ago

Brilliant move! You throw the star of the whole station out and promote the Program Director who thinks that two guys from the crazy capital of the world ( LA ) can provide more "contemporary content and more local information" than Savage who lives in the San Francisco and regularly talks about the city and Northern California? Who believes that rubbish? Is this the first move of Mark Llloyd or has the White House now taken over the Radio too?

This is the same logic that brought us Obamacare--throw out the good and design a socialistic system that makes E"VERYONE FEEL GOOD"!. Savage made your station and was number one in the local 4-6 timeframe ratings. These two LA jokels will take you right down the drain where you came from.

I have a better idean. Throw out the Program Manager and bring back Savage!

HMMM, that's funny. My comment was deleted. I didn't say anything profane, just that your explanation for no longer airing the savage nation was ALL spin, and completely transparent. Savage is very local and very current. KNEW blows.

Milo Divincenzo · 3 months ago

Oh yeah, and John and Ken look like a couple of dweebs. If your ratings sucked last week, they're going to REALLY suck now.

RLY · 3 months ago

What a sad day for 910 radio taking off Michael Savage on 9/10 and replacing him with John and Ken form LA. No one can be more local than Michael Savage who talks about SF every time he's on the air. He was the only reason I listened to your station, so I will no longer listen to you other than checking every once in a while to see if you've changed your mind, have come to your senses and have him back!

Name · 3 months ago

I don't care for Armstrong and Getty. I listened to these two guys and they come across as clowns. I guess recreating carnivals on radio is the new contemporary and idealogical vision you seek....Good luck. This station was mediocre at best. Savage made it worth listening to. I have change my preset to am 650. You made a big mistake and I expect a country western format is not in the far distant future. LOL.

Name · 3 months ago

Exactly what I was going to write.
1.) Can't stand A & G
2.) The new guys are even worse than them.
3.) My preset will be switched from 910 to 650 first thing tomorrow morning.

Good luck 910 you will need it!

Benito · 3 months ago

Dr. Savage is the World Heavyweight Champion of talk radio. He is an intellectual giant. You people at KNEW are fools. I will never support you or your programming ever again. I am disgusting with this change. No worse choice than this for you idiots. Good luck with your sorry station.

sierramistbush · 3 months ago

I deleted 910 from my car radio today...I guess I'll stick to 560 and start listening to 650. 910 is done. lol

LISTENING TO SAVAGE ON 650. I FEEL SORRY FOR ANY LOCAL HOST ON KNEW BECAUSE THEIR STATION NO LONGER STANDS FOR TRUE FREEDOM OF SPEECH. INSTEAD, THEY CAVE IN TO LIBERAL PRESSURE TO GO IN A "NEW DIRECTION."

Anti ObOHHHH · 3 months ago

wake up bone head! u cut one of your main sources of advertising revenue by dropping Savage without due notice to your bosses..ie YOUR FORMER customers. Why did you not get your focus group mentality, plastic scissors (earth friendly), and big Pharma tranquilizers rounded up and come up with a novel idea? Why in your closing days of "former" program manager of 910AM did you not ask your listening audience? Guess you wanted to get him out like ObOhhhhhhh did with the black racist mr. jones in the dark hours on a quiet news making weekend. he doesn't deserve capital letters in his title or name. Why don't you try to save your non recession proof J-O-B and reaffiliate him. What a terrible decision you made. Did you get permission to do that from your four cats or did you consult a rock?

elita1962 · 3 months ago

Why? Why did you take Savage off the air there? It must've been something more personal than you're telling us. I do like Armstrong & Getty, but in the afternoon, I'm going to be listening to KSTE 650 to get Savage. Well, I wish you well and hope your station's a success. But I think you shot yourself in the foot. Of course we don't know the whole story. Good luck.

What a stupid move by your company. Do you even check the ratings of your hosts? Sigh...

Oh I too will not be listening to any show on 910 anymore.

savagetotheend · 3 months ago

Savage was miles above everyone else. Yes, he yelled at idiots who called in with stupid remarks and even yelled at his own people if they were slow in responding to his requests. But he was the best talk show host there is. You had to have the intlect to match him if you dared call in. He kept the show flowing. He called it like it was. If you are afraid to lose your advertisers, well, you just lost your listeners. Savage was the shining star in the freak show correctly called San Fran Sicko. John and Ken - BORING. Program Director - you should be so fired. Tune to 960 - you have got to be kidding me. I will have to buy an antenna to get 650, but get it I will.

Daniiel Shays · 3 months ago

So you dumped Dr. Savage for a couple of SoCal-ites from L.A.-L.A. land (the traditional power source of Sacto. corruption). Exactly what "New" "local" "CONtemporary" direction is it that you profess to be taking? We are not "more stimulated" sir.

Lame.

MICHAEL · 3 months ago

Big loss for your station, I won't be listening to your station any longer, if I can avoid your AM signal here in the Bay Area.

Taking off Michael Savage from your line-up, is like saying you don't agree with the philosophy and the direction Michael Savage was taking the Bay Ares, Calfornia and the USA and the rest of the 20 million listeners like myself and people like Brian in the last commentary " Seriously bad choice!" YEP, YOU IDIOTS BLEW IT--BYE BYE!!!

I have to compare your decision on Savage to the way things are being run in Washington, no commen sense. Get this, HE WAS YOUR STATION! HE IS LOCAL!
910 is out of my house, my car, everywhere, FOREVER. I would like to tell your station sponsors that they are now wasting their money, giving it to you.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Way to reach for mediocrity KNEW. If it were not for A&G you’d have nothing. On the bright side, one thing you do have now….. one less listener! Congrats.

Leo · 3 months ago

Okay, I posted earlier about Michael Savage when KNEW's lineup changed on Friday 9/11. I was reserved and being somewhat diplomatic, but please do not tell me that you also cancelled THE ROGER HEDGECOCK SHOW on weekdays???? Maybe I am mistaken?? Maybe others can look at the show line-up and tell me that I'm wrong. I see Bill Handel has replaced Hedgecock???? WHY, WHY, WHY?? I heard that Michael Savage's program was getting too costly for Knew, but why the HELL remove Roger Hedgecock???

I see that KNEW has given us a token Hedgecock show on the weekend. Now I'm suspecting there is something politically correct going on here. I am still trying to be respectful to management, but you have really BLOWN IT! Please, please, reconsider your decisions. We, the listeners are your customers (or maybe ex-customers). Isn't Roger Hedgecock's San Diego show 'live' from San Diego, 3PM - 6PM?

mark uniat · 3 months ago

The clowns that are 'the powers that be' must have "od'd" on cocopuffs... have you gone kookoo????!!!
Stunning stupidity dumping Savage.... perhaps equally as DUMB was offing Hedgecock?
Black offers no flow to the programming schedule....
Very puzzling this all is....
Seems like the only thing we ALL can believe in is "Uniat Painting in Los Gatos, CA"... 75,000 hours of personal experience and dedication to craft. (Decidedly NOT this "new economy," 3rd world, junky, trash, worthless painting).

910 is dead now. I will never come back to 910. Can someone tell me where I can still listen to Savage in bay area. 910 is saved in my Car favorites just because of Savage and on that account, I listen to A&G also but not now

radicalmiddle · 3 months ago

650 AM during the same time.....3p-7p. for Savage.
But now they've taken Hedgecock off, too....where can I find him?

shaskira · 3 months ago

Thanks for Savage informaiton. I like Hedgecock too. I am hunting for the same too.

No guts no glory · 3 months ago

Well is seem rather apparent that your decision was a huge disappointment to you listeners. I've just spent the last 20 minutes reading the comments and found an overwhelming percentage, I'd guess 90% of the opinions were that you, KNEW made a huge mistake. I agree. I listened to A&G, Savage & Hedgecock. The only reason would was because of Michael Savage.
it took me sometime to grow to appreciate him but, once I did, there was no turning back.
I would have thought the Randall & Lowry had bigger ones and would stand up to pier pressure and government pressure. I cannot imagine why you would dump Savage, even if he did tell someone in management to take a leap (not that he did). I'll find my hosts on other stations. I won't waste my time on KNEW any more. It's a shame really.
San Francisco really has gone off the deep end. Oh well. N E X T !

sixniner · 3 months ago

"If you love Armstrong and Getty, you will get John and Ken from show #1." - what the heck? I tuned to 910 when Salvage came over, got to know and like A&G because of Salvage..

Mr. Station Manager - good luck on your disastrous decision! With all the comments thus far, your station is doom...

TP in SJ · 3 months ago

Interesting... I thought the bloggers talking about posts getting deleted were just paranoid.
However, my post from last night was deleted by this morning... why is that? Why have this blog if you're just going to delete honest responses. There was nothing offensive in my post. Did it make too much sense? Are you only keep the posts that fit your agenda? I will just have to resend it to the station the old fashioned way - by postal mail with a copy to the FCC. This is a sad commentary on the lack of integrity in the media.

Sean · 3 months ago

I think this is the worst decision for the station, and i will be honest, i honestly want John and Ken to fail in their time slot, I want the station to realize they made a huge mistake.

Mike G · 3 months ago

How can you say that Savage doesn't fit with a vision for local information? Half of his show is about restaurants in San Francisco or boating in the Bay! The only reason that I listen to 910 (online and on the radio) is for A+G and Savage. It seems like every 6 months, they are changing their line up (eg Jerry Doyle, Dennis Miller, O'Reilly, Dobbs, Miller again, Schnitt, Beck, etc.). The only constants on this station were A+G and Savage.

Well, I can get both of those on 560, so bye bye 910! (Very, very bad move!!!)

Name · 3 months ago

hmmm..... local focus is good but it is also good to have a national and international perspective. haven't we been often accused of not having a clue about what is happening in the rest of the world.

i think i liked the way savage weaved the threads together, not always in agreement but at least he had a perspective larger than the local county or city or state.
