Jim Kozimor Out Again at KHTK

I always enjoyed Koz’s radio show. I pretty sure he will stay in the area though and still broadcast for CSN California.

was that great, i would often listen to the svp show instead in that time slot, so i won’t miss him. he should be ok, he was doing a raider’s post game show last year and is calling san jose mls games.

I had no idea Geronimo would be broadcasting from KHTK exclusively. I thought this was another syndication deal. I always enjoyed the Don & Mike show so I’m happy with this move.

but the show really wasn’t that good, and I found myself wandering alot.

I absolutely despised the Don and Mike show, and will now treat KHTK as if it is off the air from 12-3.

If KNBR didn’t spend seemingly 90% of their time talking about the Giants, I’d listen to them most of the time, as their on-air personalities are definitely more fun than KHTKs

Maybe instead of Don and Mike, as well as Koz, KHTK can actually get someone in there from 12-3 that knows something about baskebtall. Give Kayte C her own show. Koz knows next to nothing about basketball. J Ross knows absolutely nothing. As a duo, they are horrible. This doesn’t effect Kings fans at all, given the show leaves a lot to be desired in terms of basketball knowledge from the co-hosts. Koz has no one to blame but himself. If he wanted his show to be successful, talk about something worth talking about. He never sounds like he’s prepared when going on air. He got a 2nd chance a blew it. See ya!

KHTK said Koz will still remain with the station but in another role. I’m guessing he will host the post-game show for the Kings.

i’m ambivalent to the change but i’m cracking up at Don throwing Koz under the bus before he even starts. “we are going to be taking the ratings from worst to first.” “open a window and yell and you’d get more listeners that what they were getting”

ouch!

Don and Mike was a good show. Hopefully it works out for everyone.

The evening before my high school graduation, a few friends of mine and I decided to drive to SF and scalp some Giants tickets. Went and saw Greg Maddux and Livan Hernandez battle it out (I think Livan pitched a complete game 3 hitter actually). Somehow we ran into Koz over by the bathrooms and took a picture with him.

Anyway, the next day I had graduation and apparantly my awesome family decided it was too crowded and too much of a hassle to be there so they left early. No pictures, nothing. (No i am not still bitter, what would make you think that?)

So basically that picture is pretty much the only documented evidence of my graduation. As a sidenote, I was so damn skinny, sun burned, and exhausted when we took the picture that I looked like a frickin leathery skinned boney grandma. So yeah, that’s my Koz graduation picture story. Good times!

anybody know who is announcing the mountain lion games? i could see ross & koz doing this.

Koz was a great guy with a ton of energy, but his show was missing something.
And he had Bill Romonowski on a lot – who is the biggest tool in the world.

It’s great to have some good radio, here in town.

Now all we need is to land “The Ron & Fez Show”!

KHTK used to be my life’s theme music. In recent years, it’s just been so sad. The Don & Mike “era” gradually crapped out concurrently with the regression of the Kings back to the same kind of hapless flailers I remember everyone ignoring back when I was in high school. All the energy had just been sucked right out of the thing, and there was no real reason to listen anymore.

I’ve met Koz, and he is a genuinely nice person — but it’s the kind of nice that makes you wish he’d say what he really thought of someone, just once. As far as his radio show has gone, when has it ever been not been cloying bordering on unlistenable? Brutal, absolutely brutal. When he took over afternoons, I felt like crying.

I CANNOT BELIEVE that Don Geronimo has not only agreed to do this, but seems genuinely stoked about it. I never thought I’d find myself looking forward to 40-minute segments of American Idol talk.

KHTK, you just got back a listener.

and I’m not going to lie…

Koz seems like a cool guy but I’m excited Don is coming back on the Radio. I grew up with the Don and Mike show and was sad when Don “retired”

Also, the quips they always had towards Sacto was due large in part with all the horrible callers that would call from here. Remember, they actually came to Sac on some little festival type thing that sold out.

I can’t wait for the show

This is good news.

Jim Kozimor’s bush league, “gee-whiz” act is incredibly cloying. He is the Pat Boone of local radio. I could not for the life of me figure out how he kept his job, outside of the fact that he was a fair-to-middling play by play guy for the Monarchs.

Say what you want about Don Geronimo… some people love what he does and some hate it, but the guy is an actual, experienced major league radio personality with on-air presence. He has the kind of talent required of big time radio hosts, Kozimor does not .

…when Jim Kozimor gets fired twice in a year and Grant Napear has enjoyed steady employment for 20 years.

Although the inevitable Don/Peaches feud is going to be epic. Can Grant’s ego handle not being KHTK’s biggest star anymore? Probably not.

Also looking forward to Don berating the retard callers KHTK gets.

He’s almost the original Peach hater. That 2:55 pm segment where Don has plug Napear’s upcoming show ought to be classic. Let’s see how long those two can manage to work at the same station.

I thought three hours was just too long of a show for Koz. He strikes a lighter, less relevant tone which works just not for three full hours M-F.

But I wish the Carmichael Davis show would be on a more consistent time slot. Dave seems to be thrown into time slots intermittently.

Kozimor is a good guy, and he did better than I would’ve done with that job. He took being one of the “faces of the organization” seriously and was someone the Maloof’s could rely on to be a decent human being as their representative. I hope the Malloofs show a commitment to Koz like he showed them.

And although he did a better job than I would have done, I was not a huge fan of his radio show. He regularly made really inane comments, such as recently saying some guy charged with a crime must be guilty, and wondering out loud do people really get charged with crimes if there’s no evidence (yes Jim, and it’s called being found not guilty, and it happens all the time)

…..but then again, I’m not a big fan of Jason Ross, and not a big fan of Don Geronimo either. So I guess the only thing that means is I’m too hard to please for my own good.

Good kuck Jim. Hope they treat you good.

His segment where he allowed callers to “drive by” call, or whatever the hell he called it, was excruciating! Not once was there a funny call or anything said worth substance. Just a bunch of yelling or people making fart noises. Ridiculous.
Also, whenever Koz wanted to talk about something it always came across as someone starting a new thread on a forum; “Tell me your opinion on XYZ . Do you feel this way, and why?” Its like every horrendous Myspace or Facebook post! Ugh.

I do wish him the best as a person though. He does indeed seem like a very nice guy. Maybe too nice at times, but it sure beats the alternative.

I guess Im also the only one who never cared for the Don & Mike show too. Maybe I couldnt get past all the sex talk and fart noises there too. Just seemed like another version of Howard Stern to me, with a little sports talk thrown in.

I DO,however like the idea of someone coming in to rattle Napear a bit. It should be fun hearing the drama since Grant seems to have a really hard time dealing with anyone who questions his idea of whats right or wrong.
