SMF - Just Installed!
BTW, one of the Niners tix winners on KFOG's 9 O'Clock Pop Quiz was a woman named Katrina.

I mean... seriously, Florence? That's just goddamn lazy.Meanwhile -- KFOG will be simulcasting the Niners game on Sunday along with KNBR and The Bone? WTF?Yeah, that is a headscratcher. I understand the studios share same owners, have the same studio space, etc.... so I guess they paid a little extra to extend the game broadcast down the dial a bit.. because even Katrina-loving KOFGgers will run-Run-RUN to listen to the game on the radio b/c they cannot live a day without KFOG?

BTW, earlier in the week they had promoted today as a Request-O-Rama-O-Rama with Niners trivia questions -- did anyone hear any of that? R-O-R is no longer a daily feature; R-O-R-O-R comes up on special occasions, and I'm wondering what kind of requests are being made when it does. The "old" KFOG audience used to come up with some smart rarities along with the occasional clunker ("could I hear some Dave matthews? You guys NEVER play him!"). But i shudder to think what the current listeners might want to hear.

I guess they don't want people listening on the Bone and then forgetting to switch back to KFOG -- they might wake up Monday morning and discover that they just LOVE Lamont & Tonelli!
Awesome. I'll be listening to KFOG at work on my little radio. I also have permission to wear my Niners gear tomorrow. My boss is a Raiders fan, so it's nice of him.

I can't believe there's a band called Dale Earnhardt Junior Junior -- and that he hasn't sued them . (per Wiki he's a fan!)
they're playing songs from both the new Macca "standards" album AND the new Ringo (when was the last time radio played anything new by him?). Wait: here's the Ringo. It's actually not bad -- a remake of his ill-fated "Wings" from the '70s. But again, I can't get a handle on what demo they're aiming for -- do thirtysomething soccer moms care about Macca, Ringo and Paul Simon?
