KFOG, But Not 10@10

[ggould]

SFGate catches up with M.Dung. Ay-waaay, or something.

I know you expect nothing less from a Crankypants like me, but I don't quite get his appeal. His tenure at KFOG was before my time, more or less, but I remember the month that I arrived in SF, the Bammies (remember them?) were being broadcast live and he was there, interviewing people backstage and whatnot. And it seemed like Every. Other. Word was "Oh-DAY!!" and "ay-WAYY!" and I'm sitting there going "whothefuck is this MORON??" He truly came across (to the un-initiated, at least) as brain-damaged. No wonder he did "The Idiot Show".   But people really liked that schtick, I guess.

I guess you'd have to say he grew on me.  I met him once or twice, and found him to be a very sincere person.  I can't describe why that matters, but it did.

per this thread at radio-info.com, Greg Gory will be doing weekend fill-in work on KGO. I'm assuming this is in addition to KFOG in the Morning.

Just looked at the Triple-A chart. "Some Nights" by Fun(period) is Top Ten but KFOG doesn't seem to be playing it much or at all (thank gawd). Meanwhile the Alanis song "Guardian" which KFOG has been playing incessantly isn't even in the Triple-A Top 50.

Yeah, thankfully it's only getting 10x/week.  DC can't ignore anything that gets into the Top 15 these days, but thankfully he's keeping "Some Nights" to a minimum.  Now all he needs to do is dump Ed Sheeran because that left the Top 10 long ago.

The Alanis Morissette song barely made the Top 30 awhile back...it looks like it's still hanging around, but just barely.

He apparently LOVES the new Muse song, too.  49 spins and it hasn't been out a week, sheesh.

Just heard that Annalisa will be back from vacation on Wednesday. That means a new 10@10 then!

was browsing thru radio-info's Denver board looking for stuff on KBCO and came across this post from Oct 2010:

There was a time when KBCO was Denver's only Boulder radio station--and Boulder's only Denver station. A lot of credit belongs to Dennis Constantine the visionary musicologist and programming wunderkind who had people in places like Castle Rock trying to get KBCO because the station was s-o-o-o good.

Dennis just got the 21st century axe in Portland. I bet he'd love to go back to Colorado!

"visionary musicologist and programming wunderkind"?? How times have changed.

Well, I still think that describes him just fine.

If the ratings drop again in the August book that might take the shine off of "programming wunderkind"

Ok, you have a point.

Couple nice surprises in the 6:00 hour this morning: Wailing Souls' "Shark Attack", which I hadn't heard in quite a while -- it was a KFOG staple when it was new and I still can't understand why they don't play it at Sharks games.  Around 6:40 they treated us to macca's "Junior's Farm" for no particular reason.  They're also running a new liner, something like "in touch with the past, but in tune with the new!"
