Why did knbr fired

Damon is one of the rare cases where an out of town host fits this market and has made this market his own. Damon is establishing roots here raising and family and making the Bay Area his new home area. Other guys, it hasn't worked. But yes, been a fan of Damon Bruce for a long time. I felt he helped change the station at the time, and the station shifted from more A's, Raiders conversation and focus, to more Giants, Niners, and Warriors conversation and focus with the A's and Raiders mixed in as well.

Yes, that still hasn't gone over well with A's and Raider fans, but those two teams just don't move the needle and It didn't work and then the A's and Raiders got frustrated with I've liked I'm also friends with some of the I like how their hosts are more accessible and if you happen to see them at a game or an event, they're willing to talk to you if you're a fan of their shows, their content, or the station.

Matt Nahigian, the PD at I ended up not getting a chance to do that as he might've forgotten about it or was too busy, but I appreciated that he thought enough of me as a listener and fan of the station, to invite me to the station and talk to the hosts and hangout at the station for a bit. I also like how they give opportunities to people.

Guru got a job on Yeah, those 3 hosts might not be everyone's cup of tea, but listening to them you feel that maybe one day you could get a job on Nothing against them and I like Butcher Boy, Guru, and Shomari Block, but I think it's great they were given an opportunity to come to I also like the pace of It feels like they have a faster pace of each show and it doesn't feel like each show drags on like the shows on KNBR do.

Yeah, there are some days when Not to make this too long-winded and sorry for this long post but, I just feel Do they have things they can work on and improve? Yes, but I feel they can build on what they have now as a sports station.

Bonta and Butcher have a great thing going? Exactly what metric do you use? Because the game gets zero ratings Bonta and Butcher suck. Butcher is a buffoon Bonta a good second chair but not much else. They fit what stations could be looking for in morning drive; two hosts who have a good back and forth and bring that energy everyday. Butcher Boy is cool. Yeah, he might not be for everybody and could be ebrasive for some, but you got to respect his passion and knowledge of sports and business.

Bonta is the man. He's becoming a rising star with his work on The guy is working tirelessly, and he has a young family at home. Bonta has lead the shows he's been on. He lead the mid-day show he used to do with Greg Papa. He lead the show with Guru and Steinmetz when he was on with them, and now he's leading the He's proven he can lead a show that can be successful.

So why did papa dump him and imply he regretted choosing him as his sidekick?.. Butcher Boy is funnier when you watch his facial expressions on Twitch. He is having a good time talking sports. Bonta is a talent on TV and radio. I mentioned his shortcomings in my earlier post, but I think he is cool. He is a real fan and wears it on his sleeve. Not sure if you heard the Morning Roast this morning but, he left the show this morning to basically walk the Embarcadero to Oracle Park pumping up people on the streets for the Giants playoff game against the Dodgers tonight, waving his Giants flag.

It really was great radio and it was pretty cool. Yeah, it might've seemed weird at first and maybe planned as well, but as it was going on, it was kind of dope and a pretty good idea. Murph and Mac probably would not have done something like that, but it was cool.

I'm Butcher Boy does appeal to other adults who are also passionate sports fans. Didn't fit at KNBR at all. And during baseball season, was not on much. Not a big loss. Also not a fit at Maybe the morning show? Doubt he would want the Covay slot.

Methinks he will just do the Pac stuff for now. Yeah, those minute blabberfests between TKB and his show made my ears hurt. It's sad to me that if you don't take "hot takes" just for the hell of it to be bold without facts, and if you don't scream or talk like an idiot, that you're considered boring. Willard may not be everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine.

But the guy is extremely professional, an excellent broadcaster, and uses gasp! So I'm bummed about him leaving KNBR, but the one good thing about his apparent move to The Game, is they are at least bright enough to podcast entire shows instead of just interview segments like KNBR does. I'm clearly in the minority but I hope he gets his own show and isn't paired with someone. Speaking of KNBR, it looks like even though they have been more consistent with their weekday lineup than Yes, KNBR does crush Rich even talks about how the Giants and the Niners help out KNBR's ratings a lot, and yes, the Warriors coming back to action will help out It's just, when you listen to KNBR, at least for me, the station is boring.

It's not exciting like it used to be. Then, as everyone brings up with KNBR, you have the commercials. I know KNBR has to pay bills with these commercials, but they run like at least 5 minute long commercials. How can you keep your audience when there are so many commercials during each show? KNBR is still big time without a doubt, but the station is not what it used to be. What exactly makes you anj expert on sports media? My goodness Otis you're so full of BS. We're all just giving our opinions which is not a crime.

They also have an enormous signal reach. Based on that alone, they will always trounce That said, none of their hosts are compelling. It's mostly regurgitated opinions and repeated content that never dare push the envelope. Heaven forbid someone might be offended. What used to be compelling was the back and forth hosts like Radnich and Barbieri had with callers. Sports fans calling in was what made sports talk radio. Neither station has taken callers in years.

We used to have the proven formula of a solid host with a good sidekick, like Barbieri and Tolbert, or back when Radnich was solo and simulcast on local TV. Those shows had great dialogue with listeners. Now, it's like The View doing sports. Just 3 blowhards fighting for airtime.

Listen to stations in Canada or on SiriusXM and you'll hear solid banter between the hosts and callers. Yesterday in a weird attempt to make people laugh I failed. Im truly sorry Chloe. KNBR initially said Connor had been suspended, but then program director Jeremiah Crowe came down even harder, saying that Connor is no longer with the station.
