What Have I Done For You Lately?

• Added a self-evaluation of Bernie's. (December 1992)
• Added detail on Krasny/Pursglove. (1993)
• Added links to bios of Peter B. Collins and Gene Nelson. (August 1994)
• Added a reference to Emperor Nelson's Royal Commandos. (September 1994)
• Added the Scripps Howard award Bernie and Susan Kennedy brought KGO. (March 1995)
• Corrected and added detail on Shann's first full-time slot, including excerpt from her Metro profile. (August 1995)
• Added excerpt and link to a Chronicle feature article on Bernie. (October 1995)
• Added Bernie's contract cliff-hanger. (Oct-Nov 1997)
• Added Bernie's on-air wedding officiation. (Feb 1999)
• Added broadcast power comparisons for the three talk stations. (January 2003)
• Added Peter B. Collins' new talk show. (May 2003)

• Added links to Ted Wygant's bio and also both to Michael Krasny's bio on KQED and to a Chronicle profile about him.
• Added a link for Shann Nix. (July 1995)
• Added a link for the Rev. Amos Brown. (March 1996)

• Added info and background on KNEW's change of format from music to CNET. (January 2000)
• Added Clear Channel's purchase of AMFM and thus KNEW, with links to background and controversy. (September 2000)
• Made a probably meaningless replacement of the word "tragedy" with "disaster" in a Gene Burns item. I started worrying that "tragedy" might inadvertantly suggest Gene wanted to somehow exploit September 11. I only meant he must have been frustrated at being muzzled during arguably the most important current event of his time. (September 2001)
• Added Owen Spann's passing. (October 2002)
• Added KNEW's switch to newstalk with links to initial hosts and to some remarks of Big Rick Stuart on Alex Bennett. (January 2003)

• Added Ted Wygant's retirement. (June 2003)
• Added detail and links on Savage. (2003)

• Added this very page.

• Corrected errors in "How Did KGO Come to be Owned by Disney."

• Corrected the unauthorized chronology with respect to the date of purchase of Capital Cities/ABC by Disney, and added a link to the relevant Associated Press article. Also added reservations about how this impacts the standard account of Jim Hightower's termination.

• Placed disclaimers on all pages.

• Added a link on the main page to the real KGO Radio website.

• Constructed new pages for Mickey Luckoff and Jack Swanson.

• Changed the name of the site from "KGO Radio - The Unofficial Website" to "KGO Radio - The Unauthorized Website." I wanted to make it crystal clear that this website has no connection of any kind to KGO Radio.

• Expanded the unauthorized chronology.
