KFOG playlist August 26, 2019

Back in 2016, I began posting KFOG's playlists at the time because the station was heavily promoting an "evolution" after letting go most of its air staff, signaling what seemed like the end of KFOG as listeners knew it. All they ended up doing was dropping most of the '70s and '80s hits from their playlist and adopting a "Music Matters" slogan.

The real "evolution" didn't come until last year when the station dropped its Triple A format in favor of an "alternative" format. Gone were Tom Petty and Ed Sheeran, in were The Offspring and Linkin Park (Hearing bands like these on KFOG always felt so weird.) It was now a full-fledged clone of Live 105 Alt 105.3, complete with several Live 105 alumni serving as DJs, including The Woody Show in the morning.

And now, it was announced that Cumulus would be dropping KFOG for good to simulcast KNBR on its frequency. It's been a long time coming, but KFOG will leave the airwaves on Sept. 6. Until then, I'm going to again try and capture the station in its final weeks.
