San Diego Radio KOGO AM 600: Chris Merrill Where Are You......

Driving from the morning to the night..........

Chris Merrill: Talking in the night, San Diego Radio KOGO 600 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.

Spotlight on Women: Lynda Martin

Lynda Martin

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.

Geraldo Radio Today: Viewing Update

Seriously....I am am always listening to the radio on my chromebook......

Okay this is a good one.

Go to www.Geraldo.com.......scroll down a tiny bit and click on the arrow.

This is a very good connection for listening and viewing Geraldo Rivera on WABC AM radio New York.

This is on every morning in San Diego at 7 AM.......right after Merrill and Lynda on KOGO 600 San Diego.

After going to this website once I only have to type in a "g" on my chromebook and it comes right up.
The sound is loud and clear.

The picture is clear.

Right, it's fun to hear the news of New York.....it is very different than San Diego and it is also national and world news and talk with a New York take on things.

here is a link:

There is all the current info on Geraldo on this page, too.
