As reported by Andrew Ross at the San Francisco Chronicle,
KGO is dismissing its contributors but not laying off staffers:

Ross mentions C.W. Nevius; who else would be considered a "contributor"
at KGO?

as Artie Johnson's character on "Laugh-In" would say:

"Hmmm - VERY int-ter-rest-tink!"

Sounds like the usual hijinks and/or hilarity @ "55 Hee-Haw".

Can't say that I'll miss "Chuck"'s pithy bits. Just the other day, I was reflecting on how snide they have been, as of lately...perhaps he knew it was coming.

I can only hope that the bulk of KGO's extremely talented, hard-working staff of reporters, producers, traffic announcers, interns, etc.. aren't axed.

OTOH, getting rid of Tim "Monty" Montemayor would be a plus, IMO.

Given that there is no real future for them at KGO, that might be a 
merciful gesture. Getting rid of people because the station can't afford 
them anymore should be a signal to those that remain that maybe it is 
time for them to go as well.

Given that his apparent maturity level is about that of a 
twelve-year-old, he should be right in line with management's desire to 
attract a younger demographic.
