California Wildfires
During the California wildfires of October 2007, news, information and talk from KOGO was simulcast on every other station in the San Diego area owned by Clear Channel from the night of October 21 to the evening of October 24. KOGO dropped all commercial breaks during this period. KOGO was also simulcast on channel 247 of XM Satellite Radio, which the service uses for emergency information.
Non-fire programming returned on the night of October 24 at 11 p.m. with the syndicated Coast to Coast with George Noory.

Famous quotes containing the word california:
“I can’t earn my own living. I could never make anything turn into money. It’s like making fires. A careful assortment of paper, shavings, faggots and kindling nicely tipped with pitch will never light for me. I have never been present when a cigarette butt, extinct, thrown into a damp and isolated spot, started a conflagration in the California woods.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
