Curtain closes on Scott Kaplan of Mighty 1090
Tio Rosa: Thank you for your comment. I disagree with you where you say Mr. Kaplan is "no talent." I absolutely disagree. Scott Kaplan is, in my opinion, one of the best local talents on the airwaves. He makes very good radio in my opinion. Some longtime print sports journalists say they hate him because of his history of unethical behavior. They say he is a creep. Either way, I think he is a solid radio talent. Except for Dave Rickards, which local radio person is better? The only comparison to Wolfman Jack was that they were on the same frequency. So what? What is your point?

Curtain closes on Scott Kaplan of Mighty 1090
wow....it is getting really interesting. I reported John Lynch has been seen over the last month at BCA headquarters. Yesterday on the air Scott Kaplan said that he represents a group with former Charger Shawn Merriman who is trying to get 1090 back on the air, while John Lynch represents a different group also trying to bring it back. This is a Game of Thrones battle between to former NFL players. What is unknown is if the Mexican owner of the towers/transmitters wants his back pay first, or, if he will negotitiate his monthly rental to a lower fee. Kaplan said a resolution could come next week.

John Crawford- "Trump loving" was not meant as an insult. Why be so defensive? But it is (was) true, and I think it helped the reader to understand Sileo's shtick. He tried hard to paint a picture of himself as a gruff right winger. I hope his act works better for him at his next gig than it did in San Diego. The morning show host at 97.3 is like the drummer in Spinal Tap. They keep blowing up. First Kevin Klein who never made it on the air, and now Sileo who tanked in the ratings.

You read it here first last week. The Mighty 1090 has announced Dan Sileo is in fact leaving San Diego and is headed for WEEI, Boston. John Kentera is hosting mornings on The Fan for now. As the dominoes continue to fall....look for a recently displaced sports morning show to end up on The Fan if negotiations can succeed.

Curtain closes on Scott Kaplan of Mighty 1090
In the ratings just released today....among the most prized group of sports radio listeners (men 25-54) during the Scott and BR hours 3-6 pm, The Mighty 1090 averages 4400 listeners....The Fan 97.3 averages 1400....XTRA 1360-AM averages 800. I think what this says is that Mighty 1090 is clearly beating the competition. But Nielsen ratings says that only 6,600 men aged 25-54 in all of San Diego County is tuning in to sports radio in afternoon drive. That doesn't seem to suggest sports radio is a viable format in San Diego in my opinion. And more to the point. If a San Diego FM (97.3) can only get 1400 of its most desired listeners in afternoon drive, it's time to hang it up, in my opinion. I am speaking only for myself.

Should be trends don't look good...

Curtain closes on Scott Kaplan of Mighty 1090
Rollyflopper- Yes The Mighty 1090 "beat the snot" out of the FM sports station in the ratings, because, I would guess, of 1090's superior on-air talent. Only problem, 1090 hasn't paid its transmitter rent since last year. So what good does that snot beating do? Not enough. That's why it went away. And while a handful of stations like KFI and KNX remain huge, many traditional powerful AM stations (like KCBS/San Francisco, WBBM/Chicago, KOA/Denver) have started simulcasting on a separate FM signal to make sure they will still matter going forward. Yes a handful of 50,000-watt AM "big sticks" like KFI and KNX can still be successful. Trends don't look for AM stations overall.

Soapy Joe's too popular for Oceanside strip mall
The point of the quote was the person wants it to stop, he says its bad for business, and he wants soapy joes to do something about it.

Soapy Joe's too popular for Oceanside strip mall
Wait a second.....let me get this straight.....Its ok to force old ladies and kids to hear these words at random as they drive or walk down the street (or in a strip mall) as they boom out of cars at 100 dbs, but its not ok to quote someone who is offended by it? Sorry pal. It just doesn't fly. A lot of modern hip hop is obscene and degrading to women but that doesn't stop idiots from forcing anonymous people from hearing it. That's the world we live in. Yes those words normally don't appear in print like this but they are forced into our ears all the time. Sorry to have to be the one to break the news to you.

Cavalier mobilehome owners in Oceanside tripped up trying to sell
Marty...thanks for the kind words. It needs to be noted that a reporter from a tv station came up to Oside to do a story on Tuesday but his station didn't air it because no one from the group that owns the park would respond. The reporter is not giving up, however. The story will eventually air, he goes.

Curtain closes on Scott Kaplan of Mighty 1090
Tio Rosa: Thank you for your comment. I disagree with you where you say Mr. Kaplan is "no talent." I absolutely disagree. Scott Kaplan is, in my opinion, one of the best local talents on the airwaves. He makes very good radio in my opinion. Some longtime print sports journalists say they hate him because of his history of unethical behavior. They say he is a creep. Either way, I think he is a solid radio talent. Except for Dave Rickards, which local radio person is better? The only comparison to Wolfman Jack was that they were on the same frequency. So what? What is your point?— April 19, 2019 9:15 p.m.

wow....it is getting really interesting. I reported John Lynch has been seen over the last month at BCA headquarters. Yesterday on the air Scott Kaplan said that he represents a group with former Charger Shawn Merriman who is trying to get 1090 back on the air, while John Lynch represents a different group also trying to bring it back. This is a Game of Thrones battle between to former NFL players. What is unknown is if the Mexican owner of the towers/transmitters wants his back pay first, or, if he will negotitiate his monthly rental to a lower fee. Kaplan said a resolution could come next week.— April 19, 2019 7:47 a.m.

John Crawford- "Trump loving" was not meant as an insult. Why be so defensive? But it is (was) true, and I think it helped the reader to understand Sileo's shtick. He tried hard to paint a picture of himself as a gruff right winger. I hope his act works better for him at his next gig than it did in San Diego. The morning show host at 97.3 is like the drummer in Spinal Tap. They keep blowing up. First Kevin Klein who never made it on the air, and now Sileo who tanked in the ratings.— April 17, 2019 12:19 p.m.

You read it here first last week. The Mighty 1090 has announced Dan Sileo is in fact leaving San Diego and is headed for WEEI, Boston. John Kentera is hosting mornings on The Fan for now. As the dominoes continue to fall....look for a recently displaced sports morning show to end up on The Fan if negotiations can succeed.— April 17, 2019 4:19 a.m.

In the ratings just released today....among the most prized group of sports radio listeners (men 25-54) during the Scott and BR hours 3-6 pm, The Mighty 1090 averages 4400 listeners....The Fan 97.3 averages 1400....XTRA 1360-AM averages 800. I think what this says is that Mighty 1090 is clearly beating the competition. But Nielsen ratings says that only 6,600 men aged 25-54 in all of San Diego County is tuning in to sports radio in afternoon drive. That doesn't seem to suggest sports radio is a viable format in San Diego in my opinion. And more to the point. If a San Diego FM (97.3) can only get 1400 of its most desired listeners in afternoon drive, it's time to hang it up, in my opinion. I am speaking only for myself.— April 16, 2019 5:33 p.m.

Should be trends don't look good...— April 12, 2019 5:27 p.m.

Rollyflopper- Yes The Mighty 1090 "beat the snot" out of the FM sports station in the ratings, because, I would guess, of 1090's superior on-air talent. Only problem, 1090 hasn't paid its transmitter rent since last year. So what good does that snot beating do? Not enough. That's why it went away. And while a handful of stations like KFI and KNX remain huge, many traditional powerful AM stations (like KCBS/San Francisco, WBBM/Chicago, KOA/Denver) have started simulcasting on a separate FM signal to make sure they will still matter going forward. Yes a handful of 50,000-watt AM "big sticks" like KFI and KNX can still be successful. Trends don't look for AM stations overall.— April 12, 2019 3:44 p.m.
Soapy Joe's too popular for Oceanside strip mall
The point of the quote was the person wants it to stop, he says its bad for business, and he wants soapy joes to do something about it.— April 10, 2019 4:59 p.m.
Soapy Joe's too popular for Oceanside strip mall
Wait a second.....let me get this straight.....Its ok to force old ladies and kids to hear these words at random as they drive or walk down the street (or in a strip mall) as they boom out of cars at 100 dbs, but its not ok to quote someone who is offended by it? Sorry pal. It just doesn't fly. A lot of modern hip hop is obscene and degrading to women but that doesn't stop idiots from forcing anonymous people from hearing it. That's the world we live in. Yes those words normally don't appear in print like this but they are forced into our ears all the time. Sorry to have to be the one to break the news to you.— April 10, 2019 4:37 p.m.
Cavalier mobilehome owners in Oceanside tripped up trying to sell
Marty...thanks for the kind words. It needs to be noted that a reporter from a tv station came up to Oside to do a story on Tuesday but his station didn't air it because no one from the group that owns the park would respond. The reporter is not giving up, however. The story will eventually air, he goes.— April 10, 2019 2:48 a.m.
