While driving to work today, I tuned into KLIV to hear the local news, but they've replaced it with…read morecountry music. I knew this was coming, but figured with KGO also dropping news, they would of reconsidered, since they would pick up some new listeners. KCBS doesn't please everybody. KLIV had some really useful traffic reports, covering the expressways and local streets that the other stations won't even touch. Plus I will miss the secret sound contest! This is the most disheartening format change KLIV's made since they dropped their rock format years ago.

Radio ad: "We won't give you the news in Benicia because, well, you probably aren't listening to…read moreus right now in Benicia, are you?" to which I always nod, "Of course not!" KLIV has fantastic coverage of bay area news. My wife is often surprised at my knowledge of local politics, local news, local events, and local vendors (via local advertisements). I know these things not because I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, nor from reading the newspaper (I don't subscribe). I listen to KLIV every morning on my way to work. TIPS: * South bay traffic reports are every 7 minutes, and will tell you what freeway road sensors all over the bay area are picking up in the way of slow traffic, along with what the CHP is reporting in the way of accidents * At 8:57 a.m. they "dig to the bottom of the big stack of news stories" for funny, offbeat news (be listening between 8 and 9 for George Sampson to give you other offbeat news stories as he continues to dig all the way to the bottom) * Are you a foodie? Listen for Mr. Produce, Phil Cosentino, to tell you what fruits and vegetables are in season and what this year's crop tastes like.

Used to be a great radio channel.

Classic example of how the owners of this radio station managed to ruin something that was fantastic and well balanced into a tune in to keep you awake when driving kinda radio. Still a decent radio network which brings in tax consultants/ financial advisors/ legal and estate attorney's who keep this channel active and fun to listen to.

I used to be a DJ here from 1996 to 1998 and it was a great experience and still is a great station…read moreto listen to because of all the diverse music formats and shows the station had to offer featuring under represented music not found on commercial radio where I came across a lot of excellent music from a punk metal hard perspective as well as opened up my mind to other genres including jazz up to walking away with a production piece keepsake of my own. KSJS is a gateway and experience for those wanting to learn about broadcasting etc. and a great way to meet and work with good people. My passion was more audio over video and left with the basics of digital audio editing that can now be done with simple software on a home computer. For those at KSJS and however you are involved in the station enjoy your time there and get the most out of it. For those listening be open minded and stop judging the occasional belch because I got away with a lot more on A 2 to 6 am shift which would never have been possible on commercial radio and probably said at least one thing in the early am during a traffic report that probably was not ideal but not offensive. It was a wild time for me back in day meeting drunken rhythm Jazz and blues artists and being in close quarters with them laying down legal ids and liners from then station one of which was featured on a sports weekly segment because it was off the wall funny. Those days I do miss and wish I would have stayed involved longer but the real world called me in 1998 and I started my next chapter. Highly recommend the experience to SJSU students regardless of their major and to judgmental listeners, cut the station a break as you might not find this style of college radio or freedom anywhere else. Tune in online and phone in your requests and if it meshes with the DJs show the you might find it honored in 15 minutes or less as the technology is more instantaneous depending on your request. I wish KSJS well now and in the future with many years of longevity to come and yes it will change with history. Wild times in the 20th century and wild times today and KSJS covers it all. Support your local college radio station out there in San Jose. Peace out.

I assumed they would go back to providing valuable news and decrease their debates/aggressive attitude towards conservative speakers who air on their show but it still continues till this day. I have decided to remove KQED from my radio pre-sets to avoid feeling irritated with their left-wing state-of-mind and topics.

Constant appeals for money are just awful. We have several PBS stations in the Bay Area, but that…read morejust means there is always an appeal going on. This, combined with the TV stations replaying ancient shows (e.g., restaurant reviews that are over 10+ years old, replaying dramas over the over for years), led me to stop contributing. 24hrs. later: Just saw that KQED is playing a Rick Steves episode today FROM 2004!!!

I feel like I have grown up with KFOX. Feels like family almost. Although in truth I grew up with…read moreKOME which slowly turned into KFOX (slightly uncertain of this but I believe it's true) despite an alternative dip in the mid 90's. Should KFOX expand their music library to include 90's? Of course!, this is by definition classic rock. And though I hate to admit it, someday bands like Linkin Park will be included. This is age and happens. I can roll with it. Some of my favorite bands were from the 90's so I'm a little biased. The DJs are always great! CJ and his knowledge of Classic Rock, what with his mystery riffs etc, just adds color and familiarity. He experienced the rock scene personally so he is a plus in my book. The new morning guy (at this writing) is Joey, and a fast talker, smooth at the mic and seems to like his audience, talks to them all the time. KFOX and 107.7 The Bone are the go-to rock stations. I hold KFOX a little higher because it is classier. The bone is for more juvenile ears (of which I have often). As long as they keep rockin me baby, I'm a big fan and will remain so. If they could get Greg Kihn back, that would be the cherry.

You remind me of my dogs, in a good way - faithful, loyal, always a friend. You don't excite me…read morelike my wife does, you rarely get my blood pulsing. But you almost always put a smile on my face. I'm sorry to say that while you are first on my presets, you are usually the last to come to mind during my morning drive. In the political vein that we are in these days, the Bone is my Republican friend, KFOG is my Democratic associate, and you are the middle of the road buddy. This morning the BONE guys were rambling on about having their large, overweight intern do lap dances for other men in a thong (an American Idol controversy thing). Sorry guys, you are boring me. So I went to KFOG, but the music they were playing just didn't keep me interested. So I switched to KFOX and was greeted with Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" followed by "Sweet Emotion" and then "You Shook Me" (two of my favorite songs from Aerosmith and AC/DC respectively). That woke me back up for the rest of my drive. Greg Kihn may ramble on at times, but he can sure pull in some great guests from the rock world ("My love's in jeopardy, baby. Oooo-a-ooo-ooo."). He may be a has been in the rock world, and he talks to much in the morning. Probably the main reason I don't listen to them too much. Side note, his son Ry is a wiz on the guitar. But when the Sharks are playing, that's a different story. That alone gets KFOX a few stars. Only station in the area that carries the games. Just wish I got them better up in the East Bay, 98.5 out of Sacramento tends to interfere.
