  1. Why did you get rid of chip Franklin he was one of your better host with a comic twist. I listen all day starting at 6pm and your worst host niki madoral is terrible her voice is like nails scraping on a chalk board and her I am right all the time, I know it all and you don’t attitude is a headache

    • I cannot believe that you have eliminated Chip Franklin from your station. He was well-informed, entertaining, incredibly funny, and clearly a really good person. I wish I could tell you how many times my friends saw me driving home laughing and they said “Oh, I bet you were listening to Chip Franklin”. I think this was a very bad mistake.

  2. Why is Chip Franklin not on KGO anymore? Franklin and Rothman were your best and brightest. Tell us the real story

  3. Chip Franklin was the best host on KGO. YOU HAVE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE IN CANCELLING MR. FRANKLIN. This is very disappointing. KGO is on a race to the bottom!! Reinstate Mr. Franklin and I will resume listening to KGO. GOODBYE!

  4. Chip Franklin was one of your best host at KGO.I’m just very disappointed with KGO.You get rid of your Best Host and keep some who are not good at all, like Nikki Midoro

    • WHAT IS WRONG WITH KGO ? AT LEAST IT HAD FAIR NON PARTISAN TALK RADIO FROM 6AM TILL 9 PM .
      NOW THE STATION IS MISINFORMATION FROM 7pm till 5am HOSTS THAT UNLIKE THE DAILY PERSONALITIES WHO ONLY TAKE CALLS AND HAVE GUESTS WHO ONLY AGREE WITH THEM.THEY KEEP MISINFORMATION ALIVE AND UNLIKE THE DAILY HOSTS THEY WONT EVEN REPLY TO AN EMAIL .
      JOHN ROTHMAN WAS PERFECT FROM 6 -9 NOW IM LUCKY IF I CAN CATCH 1/2 HOUR UNTIL THE TRASH STARTS AT 7PM

  5. Chip Franklin is a great host! Now you promote far right crap in the evening. I have stopped listening to your Fox entertainment like talk shows. Your platform is going down in quality.

  6. I don’t get what kgo is thinking . I hardly get to listen to Niki or pat who I love . Sometimes I got to listen to chip who was brilliant .I got to listen to John Rothman the most (whom I adore and have so much respect for for his fairness and patience which is unrivalled )
    because he started at 6 and I usually couldn’t tune in till 7 but I still could spend a few hours with him. NOW I AM LUCKY IF I GET TO ENJOY HIS SHOW FOR 1/2 HOUR.
    AND AFTER 7PM YOU HAVE THESE STUPID PEOPLE WHO ARE TOTALLY PARTISAN POLITICALLY
    AND SPREAD MISINFORMATION ABOUT
    Everything. Just now they were putting down Bette midler and the infrastructure bill.
    Jim bohannin and John bachelor are both very rigid and there guests are just as bad .
    AND HOW IS IT THAT ONLY THE PERSONALITIES THAT AIR FROM 6AM TILL 7PM WILL TAKE PHONE CALLS FROM EVERYBODY BUT AFTER 7PM ONLY CALLS FROM PEOPLE THAT THINK LIKE THEM ?OF COURSE JOHN BACHELOR TAKES NO CALLS.

    IM GIVING UP ON KGO

  7. Good riddance! Chip Franklin was perfect example of how delusional liberalism is. KGO needs more balance. There’s plenty of us out here that have been fed up for a long time with the lies and anti-American hypocrisy of hosts like Franklin. Good for KGO!

  8. Bye bye KGO
    too many wrong changes over all for quite a few years. Chip was a breath of fresh air in you mix of hosts!

  9. Bye bye KGO! You have made poor line up decisions for a few years now in my opinion.
    Chip was a refreshing host in your mix!
    I hope he lands somewhere soon!

  10. Wow KGO you managed to get rid of my favorite radio host Chip Franklin.
    The two new guys are political hacks with Guests that spread lies and venom with no one to check them. Rothman takes guests with diverse political views.
    Franklin’s humor went a long way to get me through the drive home and Covid.
    You just turned your station over to hosts that stoke meanness and resentment.
    If your trying to be less liberal and have more conservative views, look for some conservative hosts with ideas and integrity. Lazy management on your part.
