The "Occupy" movement is targeting San Francisco's KGO-AM
Unhappy with the recent changes made by Cumulus Media in San Francisco, fans of KGO-AM (810) have set up an "Occupy KGO" Facebook page, and even planned a protest of the firings of several talk hosts, and the new direction of the station. The group, which has over 670 likes, posted on their site their mission, expressing outrage and disappointment the decision to "change the station's formatting to all-news, most of the time! No tents required ... Our primary objective is to drive listenership down significantly and encourage major sponsors to pull-out of KGO. Our ultimate goal is to educate listeners about the emerging corporate monopoly over radio and about FCC regulations relating to this problem." KGO issued a statement after the talkhost firings, which included Gil Gross, saying, "KGO listeners are passionate about their station. We appreciate their input and feedback as we evolve from a news talk format to more news and information." You can check out the "Occupy KGO" Facebook page here.
