This has kept me going forward with a smile and joy for family and work . Since 2005 when I “left” KNBR, Cindi and I took on new jobs from SF to Las Vegas to Oakland and Irvine. We are looking ahead to a new challenge.
With Cindi, Alicia & James, Natalie & Zach and 4 wonderful grandkids…I look forward to new opportunities along with sharing the new adventures with our grandkids : Owen, Zachary, Kiana and Charlotte. Life is too short to look back and dwell on the past! We strive to enjoy each day with PMA.
Prior to joining KLAA, Agnew’s last programming position was in Las Vegas, where he oversaw programming for News Talkers 100.5 and 840 KXNT. He’s best known for his sixteen year stint in San Francisco from 1989 to 2005 where he built, developed and led KNBR 680 to becoming one of the sports format’s most successful sports stations.
It’s unclear why a change occurred at KLAA, but according to sources, budget cuts were a factor. No word yet if his position will be replaced.
