Everything about Kogo totally explained
KOGO or
AM 600 KOGO is, as of
April 2008, the number one
rated talk radio station in
San Diego, California, according to
Arbitron. One of seven San Diego owned and operated
Clear Channel Communications radio stations, KOGO's main focus is local and
syndicated talk shows. At 5,000
watts day and night, the AM signal is one of the strongest in the region. The signal pattern generally follows the coast from the transmitter site in
San Diego, with reception good to
Santa Barbara and beyond. Because of the power of the station, KOGO is one of the primary
Emergency Broadcast System stations for the
San Diego radio market. The station is the first, and the only
AM radio station, in the market to broadcast in
HD Radio.
The station dropped San Diego's First News on
September 1. Former
Baltimore talker
Chip Franklin brought his program starting on September 4. He leads off the broadcast day from 5 to 9 a.m. News anchor Dave Mason
indicated that he parted ways with the radio station on
September 1.
In February 2008, two field reporters and one anchor were trimmed from the news department as part of a realignment by
Clear Channel Communications. Marilyn Hyder, Wade Douglas, and Sally Hixson were fired on Friday,
February 8,
2008.
KOGO was the previous home of the broadcasts for the
San Diego Padres baseball team. KOGO is the broadcast home for
San Diego State University basketball and football games
