Yes, the KGO we knew as a talk station is going away.
The broadcast industry and all ad-supported legacy media are in brutal times.
Sadly, that brutality hit us suddenly and completely.

You say, “Mexico is going to pay for it”, then you shut down our gov’t because we won’t pay for it and now your newly rigged court allows you to steal the money from us for a project that is not only lunacy but is payoff to your swampy contractor friends who will get the money

I worry that an "oath" is not what one might think. I mean, don't Senators and Congresspeople take "oaths"? Doesn't the Pres. take an "oath"? Aren't those who have worked to undermine the republic on the state level taking "oaths" before assuming a position of power?
