KSFO's Lee Rogers out; KRON alleged problems Richard Lieberman focus

UPDATE: Anthony Licciardi of KSFO Marketing explained via email that the change from Lee Rogers to Brian Sussman and the addition of John Batchelor were just "a natural transition. Brian has done a great job filling in for the days that Lee was not on the show and it was just time. Nothing more to read into."

Reports that KSFO's Lee Rogers is out and that KRON has alleged problems causing its decline are the focus of Richard Lieberman's blog "The Rich Lieberman Report.

Attempts to reach station management were unsuccessful. On KSFO's web site, Rodgers is not listed on its weekday schedule, and an independent source close to the station, told me, via e-mail, that Rodgers "was out."

With Rogers reported departure, it looks like the end of "Hot Talk" 560 radio. This was their promotional commercial from 2007:
