KFOG, But Not 10@10

[Big Fingers McGee]

Luke Crampton's "Lost And Found" did not air last night. Checked KFOG's homepage, and the schedule excludes the show, although it still has a link on the homepage. 

And it's official, Cumulus has pulled the plug

Having commented recently about whether Gory is "allowed" to be gay on-the-air, I note that he referred to himself this morning as "happily partnered", so I guess that's reasonable.

lawd, that K-Mart rap commercial sounds HELLA out-of-place on KFOG. Eeek.

Percy's "Gone Gone Gone" > Phil Phillips' "Gone Gone Gone"

the repetition of non-currents on KFOG is becoming mind-numbing -- and I don't even listen all day.  Jesus Jones, Ben Harper... oy.

Meanwhile, this morning it seemed they were playing a lot more older "classics" -- between 5:45 and 7 I heard Van's "Wavelength", "Sunset Grill", Cars "Bye Bye Love", "The Weight" (!), Sinead O, Pete T...  I see they also played "Kodachrome" around 7:30.   Too early to call it a trend?

The latest Kaiser Permanente commercial makes me want to punch that lady spokesperson in the face.  She's really starting to get on my nerves.

as a KP employee, I apologize.

That's Alison Janney, BTW, the actress of West Wing fame and many many movies.

While she's a good, professional supporting actress, I would concur that anything with her and only her is grating.

I was driving home from the Kaiser lab this morning when I heard another of her commercials (the most recent one, about how Kaiser doctors didn't become doctors because they like reading insurance forms) and it struck me how tired I was of her caring so deeply for us Kaiser members.  One line, I can't recall it exactly, was so heavily inflected with empathy that I wanted to throw up.  Blorf.

*To be clear, I would never actually punch her (or anyone else) in the face.  And I'm sure she's very talented and looks like a nice person.

KFOG's running the old "We have applied for a renewal of our broadcast license" announcement -- I haven't heard one of those in ages, on any station, and they used to be fairly ubiquitous.

KQED did that this morning, too.

KFOG is starting to sound like Alice on a bad day.  We heard "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia, which I don't think I've ever heard in regular rotation on that station.  Same with Imagine Dragons "Radioactive," their second single which KFOG skipped over for "Demons."

KFOG has discovered that slowed-down version of Dolly's "Jolene" and is apparently gonna run it into the ground.

[RGMike]

They're running that Reno-Tahoe commercial again -- the one with the chick with the uber-country, shitkicker accent talkin' 'bout "partyin' till the cows come home, y'all!"  Honestly, this spot would be fine on KRTY but it's just awful anywhere else.

OTOH... they've finally got a different Events & Adventures commercial without the dweeby founder in it.
