  Pacific Coast Station KGO
KGO, the second of three super-broadcasting stations planned by the General Electric Company, came on the air January 8th (1924) on a wavelength of 312 meters.
KGO is operating at a power of 1000 watts, although for the purposes of testing and experiment this power can be increased.
KGO will not be limited entirely to its own studio for programs, for, by means of pick-up circuits, church services, dance orchestras, important public gatherings, and theatre productions, as well as athletic contests, can be broadcast.

 History of KGO
KGO was one of the few stations then to have a duplicate of every piece of transmitting equipment, so that the station could stay on the air in the event of equipment failure.
In December of 1924, KGO was authorized to increase its power to 1,500 watts under a special arrangement with the government that provided for gradual increases in increments of 500 watts until the station was found to be interfering with other broadcasters.
KGO began operating with one of the first crystal-controlled transmitters in 1926, and was recognized by the Bureau of Standards as a "constant frequency station".

 KGO History
Brad Kava reports that KGO general manager (since approximately 1978) Mickey Luckoff is behind the purchase.
A compromise is hammered out in which KGO's hosts are subjected to the humiliation of "diversity training." In addition, the Rev. Amos Brown guest hosts Bernie's God Talk at least twice, several African-Americans guest host for Ronn, and the station takes up a collection for recently-burned African-American churches.
KGO had hired Eason the summer of 1967, but he may have taken a hiatus in North Carolina in the 1980s or 1990s.

 Case Study in Irresponsible Journalism
It is not clear why KGO thinks that an account of the testimony given by a prosecutor is inherently true while that by a defense attorney is inherently false.
KGO asserts that: "In fact, there was extensive ballistics testimony, and though the bullets were mangled, tests showed them to be.38 caliber, with markings consistent with Jamal's gun." A prosecution expert did indeed testify that the mangled bullet was "consistent" with Jamal's gun, if you are willing to fudge a few hundredths of an inch.
Failing that, KGO could have at least asked Hugh Burns to identify the 20 capital cases Jackson is supposed to have conducted.

 AEGiS-BAR: KGO bans HIV prevention commercials from daytime TV
KGO Channel 7 has rejected a new federally-sponsored "HIV Stops With Me" commercial featuring seven HIV-positive "spokesmodels" arguing for taking responsibility for their personal health and for the health of their community.
Based on a telephone survey of the viewing habits of gay and bisexual men in San Francisco, the local social marketing firm that produced the commercial wanted to air the ad during the Oprah and Rosie O'Donnell talk shows, found to be the most popular shows on the ABC network.
"What KGO said is that children six or seven years old will see it and ask their parents about it and they won't know what to say," said Les Pappas, president of Better World Advertising, which produced the ads and had offered the station $12,000 to air them during daytime TV.

 Grade the News
KGO's rebuttal specifies only one misstatement in our article -- that KGO's sample is "limited to visitors to the KGO Web site." However, as Mr.
Keeshan's suggested, we compared KGO's poll with a probability poll taken by the Field Organization prior to the November 2002 election for governor and the October 2003 recall election.
One reason is that the demographics of KGO's news audience are largely reflective of the Bay Area population, and those who sign up for the polls have similar demographics.

But, KTVU's "The Six O'clock News" is quickly gaining on the first half-hour of ABC 7 News at 6:00, and KTVU wins the late night race with their "The Ten O'clock News," which pulls in more viewers than any other Bay Area late night newscast.

Because he is employed by the university, he'll keep his other football play-by-play job with Cal, which will still be heard on KGO this fall.
Starkey has been sports director at KGO since 1979, but began his career in broadcasting after earning his Master's degree in industrial relations from Loyola University in Chicago and working in banking, where he rose to corporate vice president in charge of Union Bank's Northern California region by the time he was 28 years old.
