Did I miss something regarding the ownership of KFrOG?  Did Susquehanna sell it to this mysterious Cumulus entity?  I know the stream has Cumulus in it, but that's all I know.

Yes, Susquehanna sold all their radio holdings to Cumulus a couple of years back. As far as KFOG is concerned it's been a fairly transparent transition--the biggest difference I can think of is that they started charging admission for Ka-Boom after Cumulus took over.
Let's get right to it.

in addition, they fired the Bone's Program Director and now Benson wears 2 PD hats.  Which may be one reason they're letting Webster take the morning reins, rather than search for a new "outside" talent. Who has time to listen to audition tapes?

BOS6 Boz. Yeah, this really WAS a great '74 set!  Dunno if I'd wanna lay down in Georgia pinecones, tho' --OUCH!

Charging for KaBoom? tragic! How would they do that? you can see it from many parts of S.F.
Or is that charge just for the concert?
I remember the year I won tickets to a Kaboom cruise - out on the bay to see the FW

OK, did I space it, or did those of us listening on the stream miss out on the bonus track again? Annalisa said she played a Joni Mitchell song for some guy in San Rafael.

it's flurrying here - bad sign as I prepare for tomorrow's Polar Bear plunge at Coney Island

I'm listening to WLNG, they're saying wind-chill factor of zero for tomorrow... so good luck with that!
