Bay Area

I used to listen for hours a day back in the day. I fell off listening over time because there are just so many better options that aren’t packed to the gills with misleading sensationalism and “clickbait” equivalent. They are also fully in on the sane-washing of fascists just like the rest of network TV/radio.

Your argument that it’s a lifeline in a disaster doesn’t hold much water because any old station still participates in the national emergency broadcast system.

For those of you who don't listen to radio, KCBS is the only 24-hour news radio station around here.

It's a lifeline of information when nothing else is working, like when the 1989 quake knocked out power and land line and mobile phone service.
