Cumulus Media has announced it is moving news/talk station 560 KSFO to the 810 AM signal in San Francisco.
KSFO-AM features 5,000 watts of power on the current 560 AM signal, which is Class B. 810 AM — the previous home of the legendary KGO news/talk brand — features a 50,000-watt, Class A signal.
Cumulus ended KGO in October 2022 in favor of a sports betting station, 810 The Spread. However, since launching the station, sports betting has yet to be legalized in the state.
“We make these moves as Cumulus San Francisco is experiencing an exceptionally successful year,” said Cumulus Media San Francisco Regional Vice President and Market Manager Larry Blumhagen said. “We continue to evolve as an organization committed to excellence and to growing for the future.”
No changes were announced to the KSFO lineup amid the move to the KGO-AM 810 signal. Currently, the station features a completely nationally syndicated lineup, outside of a one-hour late-night program that repurposes content from The John Phillips Show, which originates from sister-station 790 KABC in Los Angeles.
