Today
KGO is an all-news station on weekdays with the exception of the Ronn Owens show. Owens has a "personal services contract" with the station until the end of 2012 and hosts a news discussion program. Weekends feature a Saturday morning news block and talk programming, albeit with the station's signature traffic and weather on the 5's. In addition, KGO carries forecasts and news stories from KGO-TV, despite KGO-TV's ownership by the American Broadcasting Company.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
“Why does almost everything seem to me like its own parody? Why must I think that almost all, no, all the methods and conventions of art today are good for parody only?”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“The great majority of people in England and America are modest, decent and pure-minded and the amount of virgins in the world today is stupendous.”
—Barbara Cartland (b. 1901)
