Podcast appearances and mentions of stan bunger

This is a special, bittersweet edition of this show because we are saying goodbye to Doug today as he retires from radio after 40 years on the San Francisco airwaves – the last 35 of them here on KCBS. Doug joined KCBS in 1990 and has been here ever since as a reporter and anchor conducting investigations, covering trials, and breaking news. For the last 19 years he has served as the political reporter and he has hosted this program, the State of California, since the pandemic began in early 2020. Joining KCBS Radio anchor Megan Goldsby to bid Doug a fond farewell are two KCBS Radio legends: longtime anchor Stan Bunger and longtime KCBS and KPIX reporter Mike Sugerman, both of whom preceded Doug in retirement.

John Madden is synonymous with football. He was the television face and voice of the nation's most popular sport, the namesake of its best-selling sports video game, and the man with the highest career winning percentage of any NFL coach. Despite his international fame, there was a side of Madden known only to those who listened to morning radio broadcasts in the San Francisco Bay Area. That's where Madden grew up, lived, and died. It's where for decades he found joy in a daily chat with his hometown radio station: a chance to unwind, tell stories, and impart his own brand of wit and wisdom.  In Mornings with Madden: My Radio Life With An American Legend (Triumph, 2024), Stan Bunger— the man most often on the other side of the mic— illuminates this larger-than-life figure, drawing upon memories of more than fifteen years of daily broadcasts, backed up by thousands of recordings of those conversations. Readers who adored Madden's football acumen and quirky personality on NFL broadcasts will get to know the father, husband, bad golfer, dog owner, lover of roadside diners, and philosopher whose personality dominated our radio chats. Featuring moving reflections alongside Madden's own words, this is a treasure trove of wry observations, self-deprecating humor, clear-eyed thinking about sports and society, and the "Maddenisms" that endeared the legendary coach to millions. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won. His next book, a biography of Moses Malone will be published in 2025. You can reach Paul at paulknepper@gmail.com and follow him on Twitter @paulieknep. Learn more about your ad choices.

John Madden (1936-2021) was more than a football icon - he embodied the sport itself. As the unmistakable voice of the NFL for nearly 30 years, he brought America's game into TV living rooms across the country. His name became synonymous with football, not just through his legendary broadcast career, but also as the face of his eponymous "Madden" video game franchise. On the field, he was a coaching mastermind, holding the highest career winning percentage of any NFL coach - achieved exclusively with one club, the AFL-then-NFL Oakland Raiders (1969-78). Madden's influence reshaped how fans experienced football, both on screen and in person. But there was another side to Madden, known only to those in the San Francisco Bay Area - where he not only grew up and resided, but also where he shared a daily ritual for nearly four decades - a morning chat with his local radio station. To the nation's fans, Madden was the booming voice of Sunday pro football, but to Bay Area listeners, he was also their neighbor, engaging in lighthearted, often profound conversations about life beyond the gridiron. These radio segments offered him a break from the spotlight, where he revealed a more personal and down-to-earth side to his personality. In "Mornings with Madden: My Radio Life With An American Legend," former KCBS-AM/FM morning news anchor Stan Bunger—the radio host who spent over fifteen years in daily conversation with Madden - presents a rare, intimate look at the man behind the legend. Drawing from thousands of recordings and personal memories, Bunger reveals a different Madden: a devoted father, loving husband, bad golfer, dog owner, and fan of roadside diners. Off-screen, Madden pondered life's simple joys and frustrations with the same humor and passion that captivated millions on TV. + + + SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Old School Shirts.com (promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2   BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): "Mornings with Madden: My Radio Life With An American Legend" (2024): https://amzn.to/3UhWG5l   FIND AND FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

Footy on the Med is back for Season 1. Well, almost. Before John and Alex set off on another round of Mediterranean meanderings they were interviewed by Stan Bunger, a legendary US West Coast broadcast journalist. Turns out that Stan, morning co-anchor at KCBS All News 740 AM/106.9 FM in San Francisco from 2000 until his retirement in 2021, is a big fan of FOTM. Whether he really flew all the way from California to talk to the hapless intrepid FOTM duo is not certain. It is true that Stan has a place in Menton. In fact, his pad is in the same building as Alex's. Perhaps, then, Stan was really just on holiday in France. Either way, John and Alex enjoyed recounting Season 1's highlights to Stan the (very fluent) Man - and they'll be back at the mics for Monaco v Troyes on Wednesday, 31 August. Interview with Stan Bunger recorded at R-Bike Menton. Grazie mille Luciano and, of course, Stan.

If you can figure this out: step to the front of the class and explain to the rest of us.

The January 17, 1993 edition of the KCBS Radio weekly program "In Depth" featured an interview with Peter Magowan, the Safeway Stores CEO who five days earlier had, along with a group of investors purchased the San Francisco Giants baseball team. The previous owner, Bob Lurie, had planned to sell the team to a group from St. Petersburg, Florida before the Magowan group came forward. The interview was conducted by Steve Bitker and Ed Cavagnaro.

On March 23, 1969 KCBS Radio broadcast an episode of its weekly “In Depth” interview program, featuring controversial interm San Francisco State College President S. I. Hayakawa as the guest. Interviewers were KCBS Radio anchor Fred Wilcox, reporter Al Helmso, and legendary Time-Life journalist Jesse Birnbaum, then serving as chief of Time-Life’s San Francisco bureau.

For many years, KCBS Radio overnight news anchor Frank Knight produced a weekly compilation of the top stories that aired on the station during a given week. "The Week That Was" became a weekend feature. This example is from the last week of November 1984, broken out by days of the workweek. Audio preservation expert Andrew Wellburn digitized this from the original 7" reel of audio tape and noted, "many splices in this tape, catches as it goes through, bad tape used". We thank the California Historical Radio Society/Bay Area Radio Museum for their efforts in preserving this example.

In 1978, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley signed a landmark rent control law. KCBS Radio reporter George McManus used the event as a "news peg" to focus on what was a major Bay Area issue at the time: skyrocketing rents. "The Rent Squeeze" featured interviews with a number of Bay Area political leaders.

On July 2 1960, KCBS Radio broadcast a special report on the mysterious disappearance of pioneering aviatrix Amelia Earhart. She and navigator Fred Noonan had disappeared over the South Pacific in July 1937 in one of the 20th Century's enduring mysteries. This special report, sponsored by Shell Oil, was introduced by KCBS Radio news director Don Mozley and featured the work of reporter Fred Goerner. Goerner was convinced Earhart and Noonan had survived the crash of their plane but then died in Japanese custody. On that day in 1960, he showed off some airplane parts he'd brought up from the harbor on Saipan. A year later, he made another trip and brought back human remains he believed might have been those of Earhart and Noonan (later analysis by a University of California anthropologist dashed cold water on that belief). Goerner made a third trip to Saipan on his own time and money, published a lengthy account in Argosy magazine in 1964, and then a best-selling book in 1966 (The Search for Amelia Earhart). The photo accompanying this episode was taken the day before this broadcast, on July 1 1960, in KCBS Radio's Studio B at the Palace Hotel. Goerner (R) sat next to Don Mozley and told San Francisco reporters who'd been called to the studio of his findings.

This May 31, 1961 KCBS Radio broadcast featured host Scott Beach interviewing UC Berkeley Professor Jack London, an expert in the area of Adult Education. The "News Conference" format allowed listeners to submit questions while the studio host conducted the live interview.

On November 10 1945, KQW (the predecessor call letters to KCBS Radio) aired a live production celebrating "25 Years of Broadcasting" as the radio industry marked a quarter-century since the first government-licensed broadcasts on KDKA/Pittsburgh and WWJ/Detroit. Of course, KQW/KCBS roots ran deeper, traced to the 1909 broadcasts by Dr. Charles Herrold in San Jose. This audio file, courtesy of the California Historical Radio Society, includes that 1945 broadcast as well as an introduction delivered in 1975 by Paul Cortland Smith, who was the engineer for that 25th Anniversary production.

This is a “telescoped” reel of audio from the period between 5pm and 6pm on October 17, 1989 as KCBS Radio swings into gear after the Loma Prieta Earthquake—the first hour of coverage following the 5:03 pm quake. Jan Black is the studio anchor. Stan Bunger and Mike Woodley are at Candlestick Park.Of note: a pre-recorded safety announcement, which urged listeners to consult the front of their phone books for detailed information. The first reports of the destruction of the elevated Cypress Freeway came 32 minutes after the quake struck. The first magnitude readings were broadcast nearly 40 minutes after the quake hit (originally referred to as 6.9 in Hollister area). The first reports of the failure of a portion of the eastern span of the Bay Bridge came more than 45 minutes after the quake.

In August, 1964, The Beatles launched their first American tour, and the first stop was San Francisco. In the midst of Beatlemania, an enterprising KCBS Radio journalist named Hilly Rose scored an exclusive: an interview with the Fab Four in their hotel room. This episode includes the actual interview, held in the collection of the Bay Area Radio Museum, as well as an interview with Rose conducted in 2014 in which he told the story of how he scored his scoop. The typed label on the reel-to-reel tape box was clearly added later as it places the year as "1965" rather than the correct "1964".

KCBS Radio reporter Stan Bunger produced this special report, interviewing Nazi death camp survivor (and Bay Area resident) Eddy Wynschenk as well as the commander of the unit that liberated the Birkenau camp, Colonel Bob Clark of the 104th Infantry Division "Timberwolves".

The royal yacht Britannia docked at San Francisco's Pier 50, and the Queen and Prince Philip used the ship to host a dinner in honor of the Reagans' 31st wedding anniversary. The KCBS Radio team includes field reporter Bob Melrose and studio anchors Stan Bunger and Jerry Wilcox.

On the 25th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, KCBS Radio anchor Stan Bunger compiled a report weaving together excerpts from the 1963 live coverage and memories from Bay Area residents who recalled where they were when they heard the news. The report begins with the show Arthur Godfrey Time, which was airing on KCBS Radio when the reports began to stream in from Dallas.
