From day 1 I could tell that Marcus & Sandy’ s show could go from radio to a TV show!! They have a chemistry that entertains to all audiences, uplifting news (sometimes LOL), positive vibes appealing to a GREAT audience of listerners!!

MARCUS & SANDY with ther producer, Jenna (as she fills in sometimes) ARE the team to beat !! They are NO 1 !!

I listen to them almost everyday single day! Sally

KBLX’s Sterling James is truly a radio legend. not only is Ms. James consummate professional, but for many years Sterling has been a friend, confident and source for information for Bay Area listeners on historic 102.9 KBLX The Soul of The Bay. It really is…

Sterling James has been a bright star in SF radio for years. Her positive energy, music and SF area knowledge, and easy to listen to voice make her programming a delight.

Brian is as much of early morning ritual as my early morning cup of coffee; Brian wakes me up and gets me started for my work day. Brian’s topic delivery is informative, engaging, and makes me think about about topic. Brian is a true conservative voice on the “left coast”.

Ditto for me too! Brian is informative and entertaining. Brian and Katie make a great tag-team duo. Katie has a great voice. I could listen to her recite the phone book. Love their whistle blower call-ins. Especially remember the guy who called in to say the new bridge was being built with substandard steel from China, then later a bridge section collapsed due to metal fatigue of one of the substandard pins. Was anyone at Cal Trans ever held accountable for that?

Brian Sussman is the most boring, lazy & never prepared person on air today. All he does is brag about his out of state listeners & diatribe about what he will be talking about next hour after repeating all other hours & even re-repeating on the next day. Unlistenable.

Plus is it fair for KSFO to ask their listeners to vote over & over every day for Brian? Are the other prodcasters asking this of their listeners?

I smile every time I see the photo of Don Sherwood at the top of the page.
I idolized Don and used to get up very early and take a Greyhound bus from SSF to San Francisco to watch Don do his show at KSFO. He was the World’s Greatest Disc Jocky on The World’s Greatest Radio Station!

Brian Sussman KSFO! The KSFO morning show is a breath of fresh air and part of my morning routine. It has been extremely valuable, as I was feeling very alone and isolated in the Bay Area, where it isn’t safe to voice your opinions if they have a hint of conservative thought. I love Katie, Sheri, and Brother Brad as well!
