1560 The Game is now KGOW AM

We've been talking about 1560 KILE around here for a few months now. You know, that's the the sports/guy-talk station that's about to come on the air with John Granato, Ken Hoffman and Richard Justice.

Well, the Chronicle's David Barron probably walked down the paper's hallway and tripped over someone who will work there to find out the station is changing call letters. Instead of KILE, it will now be KGOW. Let Dave tell you more:

Much to the chagrin of its owner, Houston businessman David Gow, KILE (1560 AM) will become KGOW when it signs on Aug. 20 with a sports/entertainment talk format.

The new call letters were the idea of station manager Richard Topper, and Gow, reluctantly, acceded. The station will be branded as "The Game," so Topper said KGOW "is more of a business application than a listener application."

READ THE REST

They picked better call letters than this place.

Barron also mentions a dude from my old TV station in Waco, KXXV, will be working there.

My question is, when is David Barron getting a radio show? Don't all of the other Chron sports guys get air time now? Where is Mr. Barron? Maybe I will raise the money, start my own radio station, put another sports talker on and give David his shot.
