- I was shocked to learn that last Friday was Michael Krasny's last show
- on KGO. Apparently he has known this for a long time, but did not
- announce it until his last show. He didn't seem to want to discuss
- the circumstances of his leaving, but when pressed, he admitted that
- he was at odds with the creative direction of the new management
- at KGO.
-
- I believe that many will agree that Michael Kransy is one of the most
- intelligent, well-educated, well-balanced talk-show hosts that has been
- on commercial radio in a long time. Although I don't know all the
- facts, it seems to me that this is another case of management
- interfering with the works of its most gifted and productive workers.
- One cannot help to suspect that they are trying to make themselves look
- productive in order to justify their own salaries. Or perhaps the
- breadth and depth of Michaels guests was simply over their heads.
-
- Michael hinted that he would turn up on another station some day.
- If anyone hears more on this, please post.
