I'd ask if they had chimpanzees running the station at KNEW, Talk 910,
San Francisco, but that would be an uncalled for slur on the chimps who
can walk and chew gum at the same time.

I was out working out this morning and tried to listen to your program
[Morning at the WSJ] but what I got, again [happens VERY frequently] was

several channels being played on top of one another. This is when
asleep-at-the-wheel on the part of the station is: 1.) listener abuse;
2.) client abuse; and, 3.) customer abuse. It's a How-To "Dis" everyone,

all at once, at the same spot on the dial.

Ah, but this morning's programming run amuck, was a classic: they ran
commercials paired with inappropriate sound checks for "Bill Bennett's
Morning In America" program [that had already run] in front of you, then

laid down a layer of John Phillips Souza's rendition of Stars and
Stripes Forever. Sort of reminded of Jagger's, "Out of Control" -- only
he looks MUCH better at it.

You need another outlet for your programming here.

You're not too hot yourselves in refusing to post program summaries in
the face of repeated requests let alone stream audio of your shows post
airing.

Not to worry. Santa's going to bring an iPod so I'll be able to carry
along better, reliable programming.
