As Cumulus Alternative 104.5 KFOG San Francisco prepares to flip to Sports on Friday, the station will spend its final day celebrating its AAA legacy.
From 6am until the station’s sign-off at midnight, the station will play recorded segments from former KFOG features. All but hour will include an airing of one of Dave Morey’s “10 at 10” daily features of ten connected songs as well as songs from KFOG’s “Live From The Archives” CD series of live performances recorded at the station. The 8am hour will include Morey’s final show before retiring from the station in 2008. At 5pm the station air a tribute to the late Mike ‘M Dung’ Slavko and his freeform Sunday Night ““Idiot Show”.
For the final hour at 11pm, KFOG will re-air the station’s 1982 flip from Beautiful Music to what would become AAA followed by a 10 at 10 tribute to the Grateful Dead.
The current KFOG airstaff made their farewells on Wednesday.

Cute that the 10 @ 10 replay for the noon hour has food as its theme. At least they’re going out with humanity and style.
The hourly IDs with the foghorn come from the beautiful-music format.
It’s an enjoyable look back at the past, but also might be considered an admission that the move to a full-bore alternative format (without 10 @ 10 and without Live from the Archives) was a mistake.
