Advertisements for his show often refer to him as "The Smartest Man in the World."
You know it's funny...

In most cases, a claim like that would sound like over the top bragging...

But if you are in fact, "The Smartest Man in the World"...(And Wattenburg certainly has a decent claim to make on that title)

Then it wouldn't be bragging;

It would be a simple statement of fact...

Stephen Hawking?

Grigori Perelman?

Christopher Langan?

Kim Ung-Yong?

Philip Emeagwali?

Nope. Some guy who wrecks the world around him while suggesting that troops raid everyone's homes. :roll:

On the other hand, Wattenburg's website has not "been disabled for violations of [anyone's] TOS/AUP." I guess that that's worth something ....
Reason is valuable only when it performs against the wordless physical background of the universe.

I believe Dr Bill still has a show late night on Saturday or Sunday on KGO, but that may be gone now too.

The more radio content is steamrollered by national syndication the more it creates a market for local content.

The only thing worth listening to on radio is NPR on the local listener-supported channel(s) and KPIG.

Although I like trolling around the mexican channels for some ranchera or tex-mex now and again.

Peter Finch has been corralled from KFOG.
Peter Finch leaving KFOG!? They lost Dave Morey to retirement just two years ago, and 'Big' Rick Stewart last year[not that it was too a great loss] . Peter Finch was such a great personality, what's he doing news radio for? Cumulus already owns KFOG and now they're going to suck the life out of it, too?


Oh no! KGO, isn't ...wasn't the station that did the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable report was it? :(
