  KSFO History
KSFO occupied temporary studios on the 17th floor of the Mark Hopkins Hotel on Nob Hill from April of 1942 until the following August, while permanent facilities were being constructed as an annex to that hotel.
KSFO continued to operate KWID for a few years, but soon took a lesson from the networks, who had learned in the thirties that international stations could not be made to be profitable, and shut down the stations.
KSFO moved its studios to the Fairmont Hotel in 1955, and the station was sold the following year to Gene Autry's Golden West Broadcasters.

The Federal Communications Commission granted KSFO a construction permit February 2, 1937 to move its city of license and transmitter from Oakland to San Francisco; to raise daytime power from 1,000 to 5,000 watts (1,000 watts at night); and install a new vertical radiating antenna tower.
KSFO's studios were moved in February 1952 from One Nob Hill Circle (the Mark Hopkins Hotel) to a new combined radio-television studio-office building at 2655 Van Ness (at Greenwich Street), sharing space there with commonly-owned KPIX (TV).
KSFO was sold by Golden West Broadcasters (Gene Autry; the estate of Ina Autry; and Stanley B. Schneider) to the King Radio Broadcasting Company for 6 million dollars.

 BAY AREA / KSFO radio hosts take on blogger's allegations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
KSFO pre-empted Dr. Laura Schlessinger's three-hour program on Friday in what station officials billed as a "no-holds-barred broadcast" to answer their critics on-air.
While KSFO billed the show by saying "both friends and critics of the station are invited to participate," they didn't take calls for the first 90 minutes of the show and fielded only a handful of mostly positive e-mails and calls throughout.
Several times, the KSFO hosts complained that liberals were trying to limit their free speech, and that Spocko -- who got 15 visitors a day to his blog before this controversy -- was part of an organized liberal plot to silence them.

KSFO's president and general manager, Michael Luckoff, who runs all three of Disney's Bay Area stations, said he is in daily contact with Disney executives on programming matters.

The switch could be a huge ratings haul for KSFO, which has tripled from a microscopic 0.7 share (percentage) of listeners over age 12 to almost a 2.0 share in Swanson's 18 months at the helm.
During that slot, KSFO (with Ken Hamblin and Savage) was drawing a 1.8 share.
Swanson is proud of a recent survey that shows KSFO to be the second-most-listened-to talk station among African-Americans, behind his own KGO and ahead of sports station KNBR and the politically liberal public station KQED.

 Mike Stark: Surreal KSFO "Special Broadcast" Defies Description - Politics on The Huffington Post
At times, the KSFO special radio afternoon was uproarious and side-splitting.
The KSFO hosts undertook to unfairly, dishonestly and, with a subtle air of desperation, demonize their opponents.
The only time during the show that this strategy wasn't followed was when the KSFO hosts unfairly, dishonestly and with a subtle air of desperation sought to defend their irresponsible rhetoric and blatant hypocrisy.

In 1994, when KSFO was an eclectic mix of primarily left-leaning hosts, the station was ranked 28th in the market and languished with an anemic 1.0 share of the audience.
KSFO is far from done with grass-roots activism.
As one might expect with a talk-oriented format, some of the causes taken up by KSFO are more about politics than consumers and motorists.

 EFF: DeepLinks
Over the past year, a self-described "fifth-tier blogger" who publishes under the pseudonym Spocko (www.spockosbrain.com) posted audio clips of what he deemed to be offensive and violent talk radio rhetoric from ABC-owned and San Francisco-based KSFO-AM and apparently succeeded in encouraging several advertisers to pull their ads from the station.
Rough and tumble speech is often protected speech nonetheless, as KSFO well knows, and the "marketplace of ideas" promoted and protected by the First Amendment frequently results in definite winners and losers.
KSFO, quick to call out the attack lawyers yet slow to respond to the concerns of advertisers, is rapidly embracing that loser mantle.

The best on KSFO is Barbara Simpson – she’s right on the issues, and doesn’t tell us all about how she hates her audience.
Overall, the KSFO morning show is pretty solid, but it's strength are the guests they have on during the 7:00 hour and the 8:00 hour.

In 1970, between full-time jobs, Norman Davis worked weekends for KSFO, San Francisco's 'red carpet' station, located in the prestigious Fairmont Hotel on Nob Hill.
KSFO was every DJ's dream station with real red carpet on the floor, and high-profile, high-salaried DJs like Don Sherwood, Jack Carney and Al "Jazzbeau" Collins.
Norman also produced a Sunday night show called "Those Unforgettable Years." Each show was four hours in length and focused on the popular music, news, and trivia of one year between 1929 and 1969.

 KSFO and Disney/ABC try to censor blogger to protect profits for hate talk : Indybay
Friday Jan 12th, 2007 9:19 AM KSFO and Disney/ABC are trying to censor http://www.spockosbrain.com/ for publishing clips of hate talk and then notifying advertisers of the hate talk they were supporting with their ad dollars.
He used quotes that recommended a protester be "stomped to death right there," one saying of Pelosi, "We've got a bull's-eye painted on her big laughing eyes," and another that asked, "Why don't you right now say Allah is a whore." Spockos's campaign is working.
Spocko said it would be dangerous to dismiss the comments he's heard on KSFO as the sort of ratings-boosting hyperbole endemic to talk radio, even if it's uttered in the name of entertainment.

A nice touch to the installation process is the option to omit the static airliners and cargo planes, no doubt the course users will take if they plan to add on their own variety of planes.
In addition, because KSFO was designed to also work with Mega Scenery USA-Northern California©, another option window will allow for the correction of the shoreline textures.

In a statement Wednesday, KSFO program director Ken Berry said, "Many of the remarks attributed to KSFO on the Internet are old, lacking context and, in some cases, outright lies.
Spocko described himself as a communications professional, but is not a journalist and does not work for a KSFO competitor and is not a former or current station employee.
Most of the clips he circulated were pulled from a morning drive-time show on KSFO co-hosted by Morgan and Rodgers and from an evening program hosted by Brian Sussman.

With his contract with KSFO set to expire on June 30, it is my guess that Talk Radio Networks, Michael's syndicator, has signed with KNEW, 910 AM, the new talk station that is owned by Clear Channel.
And Savage took KSFO along for the ride; the station was basically invisible in the ratings book in January 1995 when it switched from a liberal "radio with attitude" to the "hot talk" format.
In the latest ratings book, KSFO was tied for Number 2 in San Francisco and a solid second in the San Jose rating book, trailing only KGO in both surveys.
