I was giving KKSF the benefit of the doubt on two fronts. The first is 
the notion that the station's boast is concerning hosted talk programs, 
not a news wheel. If you consider a news wheel "talk", then both KGO and 
KCBS are clearly more "live and local".

The second pass (which I actually gave both KGO and KKSF) was to count a 
local show done remotely (A&G, Karel) as live and local. Actually, if 
A&G are heard in Sacramento at the same time as Oakland, then it is 
technically syndication and not "live and local".

Without A&G, KKSF's claim to be "the most live and local station" in The 
Bay Area is clearly nonsense. And we haven't even mentioned KLIV!
