With the departure of Greg Kihn as morning show host at KFOX in San Francisco, Entercom says former KFOG personality Annalisa will take over on September 24. The classic rock station also says it is expanding its music library, and adding a commercial-free, advertiser-sponsored music block every weekday from 9am-noon.
KFOX Program Director Garner Goin said, ?Annalisa has been a radio icon in the Bay Area for over 16 years and she consistently had the highest-rated show on KFOG. Her enthusiasm, passion, and music knowledge will be a refreshing choice for morning drive in the Bay Area. We are equally excited about improving the listening experience for our audience, from our larger music library to a dedicated commercial-free music block every day.?
KFOX?s expanded music library brings a broader classic rock sound to the KFOX audience and will better reflect the Bay Area?s passion for a wider range of rock music. Along with the station?s core artists of Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, and the Beatles, KFOX?s playlist will now include artists from Pearl Jam to Nirvana to Bob Marley to Stevie Wonder.
Beginning September 24, KFOX?s lineup will feature:
? 5am ? 9am ? Annalisa
? 9am ? 12pm ? KFOX Commercial-Free Music Block
? 12pm ? 3pm ? Laurie Roberts
? 3pm to 7pm ? Big Rick Stuart
? 7pm ? midnight ? Webster

I'm glad, at any rate, that KFOX is picking up the good DJs as they flee or fall off of KFOG's ship. If they could manage to nab Rosalie and her acoustic shows, that'd be awesome.

The new format really sucks! I like classic rock like they were playing, and not have it mixed with all of this other crap. Sorry KFOX, but you just lost a listener, and I've been one for so many years, I can't even remember when I got started.

Stupid, stupid move. Disliked Annalisa on Kfog. Really enjoyed the Greg and Chris Jackson in the morning,drive to work much more relaxed. Guess KRTY is my only choice now.

Not only will I no longer be listening to 98.5 in the morning but I will not be listening anymore PERIOD. This is the worst move ever. So much for quality radio stations, now all thats left is 107.7 & 103.7

There is zero continuity between the music Laurie Roberts and her staff were playing and the worthless dreck being served up today. They should have run cum cleaning, although Stone Temple Pilots et al had me running to remove 98.5 and 102.1 from all my devices just as fast as that would have done.
