So Long KGO: Historic SF Call Letters To Vanish

[SolarMax]

From InsideRadio

A set of historic call letters will vanish from the radio dial on New Year’s Day. Come Jan. 1, KGO San Francisco (810) will adopt the KSFO calls long associated with the talk format that last month moved from 560 to 810, replacing the short-lived sports-wagering formatted “810 The Spread.” In turn, KSFO will adopt the new calls KZAC.
The KGO calls have been attached to the 50,000-watt 810 frequency in the Bay Area since Jan. 8, 1924. The once legendary AM ruled San Francisco radio for decades.

I used to listen to it in Colorado

KGO was a great station and a great listen when internet radio streaming became a thing. I used to love listening to Ronn Owens, Len Tillem, dr. Dean Edell, Gil Gross and the rest of their lineup. KGO was not marketed as progressive/liberal talk, though many of their hosts were at least center-left politically. Mickey and ABC had a great station back in the day. Sad to watch those vintage call letters disappear.

I also enjoyed listening to KGO via streaming. Losing those calls is unfortunate. Maybe they can pull off a KHJ trick in a few years.
