On todays drive I was listening to KGON and heard some of Steve Martins stand up comedy from the 80's. I just wonder if that was a teaser to see if there was any interest in that sort of thing or if it was just a one-time fluke? If it was something other than a fluke I think that doing 3 or 4 minutes from different comics of that era like "Cheech and Chong" "Steve Martin" "The SNL Classics" "Bill Cosby" "Gallagher" "Carlin" "Robin Williams" etc. etc. would be a really good thing. Think you could not go wrong with a little comedy here and there. If it was just a one shot then maybe consider trying it a little and test the response.

Just offering my two cents...got change for a twenty!

I thought they did the "Five O'Clock Funny" M-F.

(Or is it 4:00)

no, sorry, it's just a fluke. I have been told on may occasions that there is no place for that on a music station!

Obviously that was a mistake and the responsible party will be soon fired........

Your FIRED!

KGON does it every weekday at 5:00.

Or maybe "the company and I had philosophical differences"?

I remember that Max used to run brief bits by All Comedy Radio....does anyone know if this is a little remainder of their affiliation with that dying (or dead..I really don't know) network?

Actually, 970 AM Solid State Radio was, for a period, "All Comedy Radio." They played almost esclusively the ACR network feed from LA. It was pretty stale, as they had a fairly limited playlist, but the 5-10 minute interviews on "Comedy Island" were awesome. Paul Mooney is so underrated - even if he is half as funny as he says he is, he is the king.

Well I know that. But they were mostly ACR for a year or so. I'm pretty sure that Max played little blurbs. Like 2:00 features in the middle of the spot break.

Paul Mooney IS that funny. I highly suggest you check out some of his comedy albums. I had a friend loan me a tape of his back in 8th or 9th grade and was floored by how slick he was.

I remember. Both stations were running the same network at the same time!

How dare that person on KGON entertain with something unpredictable!

Fire that loser now!

Radio is supposed to be entertaining? I just tune in for the commercials and they keep playing music all of the time.

It is more of foot race from the brink if you work in it.

I honestly feel like radio is hoping on gimmicks, formulas, and consultants and tossing talent out the window for the future.
