Chloe Louise Long time KOGO listener and Sully fan for a very long time............. Sully, Merrill, Kevin Finnerty...........they make news/talk radio enjoyable in San Diego........Sully's conversations re: the individuals without permanent housing in San Diego is admirable........former mayoral candidate, Carl De Maio is a brilliant addition to the afternoon line-up. KOGO and the San Diego listeners are lucky to have his opinion on local and national political topics. Carl....love your radio show on KOGO 600 and listen to it whenever I can. While I am a dem and disagree with many of your policies I still always want to hear both sides and you present your case very well without anger and bashing. By the time you and Sully are finished discussing an issue I feel well informed. I really like getting to know you on the radio and you have so much to offer about San Diego politics and that kind of information is always interesting and valuable. Well done on not just being a one dimensional angry Republican. Seriously, the GOP can use more people like you and less like Bill O'Reilly.......good job.......always listening to the radio.....chloelouise from the ronnie republic.
Gosh, we watched them every morning on CBS Channel 8 growing up in San Diego.
Seriously, I said Hi to Bob Mills at the Del Mar Fair one time and felt I had met a celebrity.
Well, we had the pleasure of hearing Cliff Albert interviewing Danuta Pfeiffer this afternoon on KOGO 600 News/Talk Radio in San Diego.
It was so fun to hear about Danuta because I had always wondered what had happened to her after she left Sun Up for The PTL 700 Club.
Always admiring Danuta's faith I had looked her up on the Internet several times.
Well, it turns out Danuta Pfeiffer really did not have as much of a story book life as it appeared on San Diego morning television.
Always remembering her cheery personality--she just seemed genuine to me.
Danuta has decided to write a book called "Chiseled," describing her confusing life of trials and tribulations.
Actually, my life, like many others, has been confusing, also, and it is always appreciated to find out how someone deals with the problems life throws at us yet maintains their strength.
I think Danuta is still trying to decipher the legacy her father has left her and my heart went out to her on that note.
Danuta Pfieffer also had the courage to share with the listeners her story of having a baby all by herself alone in her room at the ripe old age of sixteen years old.
You see here is what happens........when life gives you some of these turns one ends up not having the wisdom or the confidence or self-esteem to always make the best decisions--particularly at a young age.
At the end of the day it is real hard to always do the right things given this unusual string of events that can lead to ridicule from other adults.........actually, it can hurt your feelings..
Good job Cliff and Danuta and thank you for telling us about your very interesting life. I can't wait to read your new book and I wish you the best of luck.
I think this heartfelt book will give other women courage.....well done.

The fact remains, at the end of the day, Geraldo Rivera is an excellent investigative reporter.
I think sometimes people forget that.
Geraldo's WABC on air radio partner, Noam Laden, also said it today.....you are doing a good job of trying to get the facts out there without creating panic......talking about the Ebola scare going on in our country right now and the guests Geraldo has had on his show........first a physician with the facts and then the officer who participated if fixing the catastrophe of Katrina in New Orleans...General Russell Honore.
Geraldo Rivera does favor President Obama in many ways but he would like to see a Czar in charge of the Ebola outbreak.
The caller reminded the listeners today that Texas was actually ranking 50th in the United States in terms of health care and that the CDC was a very worthy cause where financial cuts should not take place.
Last week Geraldo was impressive when he called out politician Duncan Hunter from San Diego County.....he had tried to say members of Isis had come through the southern border near San Diego into the United States.
Geraldo Rivera and Greta Van Susteran asked Ducan Hunter how will you verify these facts and he simply stated....I asked a member of the Border Patrol.
Geraldo told us...there was no way to back up these facts....it was simply false and a scare tactic of Duncan Hunter. The sad thing about this situation......it was later repeated on a San Diego radio station as fact......that is plain wrong....and it is wrong for an elected politician to use these ideas for his own gain.
Geraldo Rivera stated today and on many other occasions.....Drudge often uses scare tactics to make headlines.....the problem is that it trickles down and other commentators repeat these ideas as if it is fact.
Geraldo said this is so self-defeating.
From San Diego forever and recently in Wichita....this is an offensive statement from Duncan Hunter......the Border Patrol in San Diego do an excellent job. This protective group is dilligent and serious.
Written to Geraldo from the ronnie re....just recently I lived in Dulzura........just about 20 miles past San Diego on the way to the Tecate border. We had to go through a border patrol crossing every day.....it was extremely secure.....many, many armed personnel with dogs--these people were not playing. They were often going after people and going through cars and cargo trucks. Also, they were regularly parked all night at the end of our driveway in this rural area and there were also sensors in the ground. If anyone thinks the border patrol is not doing a serious job I challenge them to visit the area and see for themselves. Also, the border crossing on the freeway at San Ysidro is giant with a huge fence that is always patrolled which you often mention. The border patrol is all over the place in these areas. Kudos to Geraldo Rivera for being one of the few news/talk jays that actually allows the veiwer to say their opinion. No, I am saying he is a good person because he can take a disagreement and talk about it. Geraldo is not afraid of the caller. San Diego radio update.......Chris Merrill going to evenings. Also, noticed this trait with Chris Merrill of San Diego of KOGO radio 600 AM.......one of the few radio personalities that lets the person calling in talk. Also, he has varying views from his cohorts on the air. Merril is not afaraid of a caller with a disagreement. In the long run it is a good show from both of these radio personalities....... Asking the age old question......shall we form our own opinions or shall we only think what is shouted at us by Bill O'Reilly and then call it news. Good job, Geraldo Rivera and Chris Merril for telling us all sides of the story. It's good reporting and it is good news.
Chris Merrill: Talking in the night, San Diego RadioKOGO600 AM
I guess Chris Merrill will be on in the night.......... What a low blow to this radio listener........I love Chris Merrill.........his show is good, funny, entertaining and newsworthy--not to mention he includes all different kinds of views from his gang--they seem to get along so well. I knew something was up when Lynda Martin disappeared without any explanation. Chris please.....I'm not listening to Rick Roberts in OKC! from KOGO: Merrill @ Night hosted by Chris Merrill is heard weekdays from 7-9pm. First and foremost, Chris is an entertainer. Chris has been a successful host at talk and music stations in Kansas City, Arizona, Colorado, and Michigan. He combines a passion to entertain with his knowledge of current events to create a high energy program that results in a unique show and a perspective you don't hear on most traditional radio talk shows.
Because his lifestyle mirrors that of our target audience, he knows what our listeners are interested in. Chris studied Theater at Western Michigan University and Political Science at Fort Hayes State University. He has a wife and three children; one in High School, and two in Junior High. When not on the radio, he spends time with his family and may be found playing softball and making fantastic plays in the field.

What is your background? I was born in London and grew up in the U.S. While I was a student at New House School of Communication at Syracuse University, I received a phone call from my mother informing me our money was gone (that’s another story) and I would have to drop out of school. I was not willing to quit, so I had to find a way. I got three jobs, made copies from books I borrowed, and was homeless. I chose to make it and not fail.
What did you do after college? I wanted to be a network star, so I set out to find a job with a TV station. I was in Worcester, Mass., at the time. No one would hire me after struggling to put myself through college. I was 22, and I walked into a station wearing a red power suit and my hair up in a bun and said I would work for free. They let me work, and eventually I got paid a bit and then got the midnight to 6 a.m. DJ position. Then I got to try out for a TV station working from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and at the same time working my midnight job. That lasted for about three weeks until I got hired at the station, and shortly thereafter the anchor job opened and I was able to move into that position.
Was that a good move for you? It was at the time, but then I lost the job and was replaced by a man. So I went to another station, where I was hired immediately and never missed a paycheck.
How did you get to San Diego? In 1999 I came here to start Fox, which at the time was Fox 6 XETV. I have been a TV news anchor/reporter for 13 years and have five Emmy nominations. Three years later I moved on to anchor KSWB five nights a week, until 2005 when that news department shut down. I am still a vacation relief anchor at Fox 6 in addition to my morning anchor job.
Where did you get your drive and determination? I had a fourth-grade teacher who convinced me that I was bright and could do anything I set out to do.
How have others benefited from your leadership? By sharing with others I come in contact with at radio/TV/speaking engagements. I find that my story is an inspiration to others and they learn from my struggles.
How do you give back? I have a brother with autism, so I am very committed to Special Olympics and also to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I have run two marathons and am now a long-distance runner and just did the Low Tide Ride & Stride to benefit Wounded Warriors.
Whom do you most admire? I once interviewed a Holocaust survivor from La Mesa by the name of Eve Gerstle. She is now 98 years old, and I was so impressed with her that I still visit her about once a month. I won my fifth Emmy nomination for that story.
What are your goals for the future? Take my skills to inform and educate others. I have a strong commitment to raising my two sons.
What is your advice to others? Never forget where you come from. You don’t know what is next.
