KGO (AM)

KGO (810 AM) is an all news radio station with offices and studios in San Francisco, California. Until December 2011, KGO operated for several decades as a news and call-in talk station, originating nearly all of its own programming locally. After broad ownership and format changes in 2011, including the laying-off of most of its talk show hosts, the station converted to an all news format, under Cumulus Media.

KGO is accessible throughout the western United States east to the Rocky Mountains, and in northern Mexico, southwestern Canada, and Alaska at night. KGO operated as the West Coast flagship radio station of the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) until the radio group was purchased by Citadel Broadcasting in 2007. The station is now owned by Cumulus Media, following its 2011 merger with Citadel.
