Biography
KNEW, are the call letters of 910 AM in San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose, CA, USA. KNEW is the newest of the Bay Area's conservative talk radio stations, and is the flagship station of syndicated talk host Michael Savage. Talk 910AM is owned by Clear Channel. Prior to the format, the station operated as CNET Radio, offering business and technology news 24 hours a day.
The KNEW callsign is a legacy of former owner Metropolitan Radio (aka Metromedia) which once owned legendary station WNEW in New York and modeled KNEW after that station as a personality-driven news and music station. When that format failed, KNEW switched to an oldies format led by program director John Hawkins, designed to bring back nostaligia for 910's earlier days as Top 40 rocker KEWB.
Prior to the KNEW and KEWB incarnations, the station was owned for 3 decades by the Oakland Tribune as KLX. Its transmitter is located at the foot of Central Avenue in Richmond, California on San Francisco Bay.
Until recently, KNEW Talk 910AM's slogan was "More Stimulating Talk Radio" (matching Los Angeles sister station KFI-AM), and offers mostly syndicated programs.
"We Get It Right !" is the newest Talk 910AM KNEW slogan with a line up of Talk Radio Hosts : Armstrong & Getty; Dennis Miller; Jerry Doyle; Michael Savage; Rusty Humphries; and Lars Larson. While the wee hours of the morning (2 AM to 6 AM) are filled with the "Talk Radio Countdown Show"; Doug Stephan's "Good Day" and the "Wall Street Journal This Morning"
