What’s The Over/Under On Klein?
By now you know that Klein, formerly of KITS (Live 105)/San Francisco, was scheduled to make his San Diego debut last Thursday on the brand new radio flagship of the San Diego Padres; however, a not-so-funny thing happened on the way to Klein’s date with morning radio immortality — his now-infamous promotional tweet for his new show, featuring a photo of San Diego’s Coronado Bridge and the text “JUMP* … *to a new morning show.”
A day after Klein’s ill-advised post, he did issue an apology, as did Entercom and the Padres. However, Klein sounded far from contrite last Wednesday morning when he tweeted, “To all of the other radio shows who are spending this morning talking about us, you’re welcome. And thank you in advance for being so boring and unoriginal, that your audience will soon be all ours.”
Naturally, that tweet drew a slew of smart-ass replies, including this gem from @Stevebaeza8, who retorted, “Don’t you have to actually be on the air to steal anyone’s audience? #JustSaying.”
