SAN DIEGO — Fans of the KGB radio morning show featuring long-time host Dave Rickards and cohorts Shelly Dunn and Cookie “Chainsaw” Randolph are starting off the new year with news the show is no longer on the air.
With little fan fare, the station posted a notice on its Web site this morning announcing the following:
After extensive negotiations. and offering the DSC team a very lucrative, multi-year offer, we were unfortunately not able to reach an agreement to keep the show with KGB.
We wish Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw all the best in their future pursuits and thank them for their contribution to the station. KGB has had a special relationship with listeners in San Diego as the leading Classic Rock station for many years. We look forward to continuing that tradition.
Dave Rickards was the maestro behind the KGB radio morning show Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw. The show is off the air as of this morning, Jan. 4, 2010.
DJ Coe Lewis, filling in for the show this morning, said she hoped listeners appreciated the economic realities that led to the decision.
“We’re feeling the loss just like you,” Lewis said on the air, adding the DSC cast were like family. “But we’re here and we’ll always be here and I just want to let you know I really appreciate you, like, listening…”
The station is among many owned by Clear Channel Communications, a media conglomerate headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.
