Radio Dots & Dashes (Sept. 14 Edition)
Bob Agnew, sent packing by KNBR a month ago in the Larry Krueger "Brain-Dead Caribbean Hitters" flap, has landed a new gig as program director at Clear Channel's right-wing KNEW/910 and left-wing KQKE/960.
Agnew fills the chair vacated by Ken Kohl, who moved to Infinity,
where he's busy listening to tapes and reading resumés as he builds the lineup for the new FM yacker at 106.9, which will debut in three or four (or five) weeks.
“I welcome and accept the challenges of programming both KNEW and KQKE and making them major forces in the very competitive talk radio market here in San Francisco,” Agnew said. He had been KNBR's PD for 16 years before a few poorly-phrased words and a lame audio bit brought down his reign...
The San Francisco Bay Area Publicity Club, the local alliance of public relations professionals, will announce the winners of the 9th Annual Pubby Awards at an awards ceremony luncheon today. The Pubbies, which honor excellence in media, will be held at the Argent Hotel in downtown San Francisco.
Among the Pubby nominees for Best Bay Area On-Air Radio Personality are Pete Wilson (KGO/810), Michael Krasny (KQED/88.5), Don Bleu (Star 101.3), Sarah & No Name (Alice@97.3) and Annalisa (KFOG/104.5 & 97.7)...
UPDATE: Liana Goh, President of S.F.B.A.P.C., sends along word that Sarah & No Name from Alice were named winners in the radio personality category. Fox Sports Bay Area's Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper, often heard as vocalists on KNBR's Giants broadcasts, were named Best Bay Area Sportscasters...
Speaking of KNBR, mothership Susquehanna Media (which also owns KFOG and KTCT here) was expected to receive as many as twenty bids for its radio stations and cable TV outlets, with the bidding ending yesterday (Sept. 13). It may take several weeks — or even months — before the company sorts through all the bids, one of which is said to be from a group that includes current and former members of the Susquehanna management team, with support of deep-pocketed investors — among them, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts. No word whether local Susquehoncho Tony Salvadore is part of this group...
The KABL pop standards format, dearly departed from the local airwaves recently, may soon return on one of Clear Channel's high-definition multicasts, perhaps even as the second channel on one or both of its old dial positions, 960 AM and 98.1 FM ... There was a nice piece in Wednesday's San Francisco Chronicle about a pair of low-power FM stations up in Marin County, 18-watt KWMR/90.5 in Point Reyes Station (simulcast in Bolinas at 89.3) and Radio Sausalito, an FCC Part 15-compliant station...
