Morning Show Shuffle @ KGO, KSFO
• Cumulus Media announced that its San Francisco talk stations — 810 KGO and 560 KSFO — will each debut new morning shows on Monday, March 2 — the movement begins with the syndicated Armstrong & Getty Show, which will pack up and migrate across the hall from KGO to KSFO, 6-9am PT. Concurrently, KGO announced the launch of The Morning Show with Nikki Medoro, anchored by Nikki Medoro, who had been co-hosting the KGO afternoon show with Chip Franklin. Medoro will be joined by veteran newsman Bret Burkhart.
Doug Harvill, VP/Market Manager for Cumulus San Francisco, commented, “Nikki Medoro is a compelling and proven talk show host. Her upbeat and engaging personality makes her the perfect fit to take over mornings on KGO. She’ll team with veteran news anchor Bret Burkhart to deliver an entertaining, informative and interactive morning show. At the same time, Armstrong and Getty have established a very dedicated and loyal Bay Area audience that will follow them to sister station KSFO.”
Lee Hammer, OM of Cumulus San Francisco, and PD of KGO & KSFO, said, “Nikki has done a tremendous job working with Chip Franklin in afternoon drive, and she’s earned this opportunity to host mornings on KGO. Nikki and Bret will bring a fresh approach to the day’s news, both locally and nationally. They’ll also invite the Bay Area’s listeners to join the conversation and share their opinions.”
Hammer added, “I’m also excited that Armstrong and Getty will be staying in our station family, just moving down the dial to KSFO. Joe and Jack are fantastic entertainers, super knowledgeable and they’re not afraid to share their opinions. They’ll be a great addition to the KSFO lineup.”
