Kevin Brown is part of morning ritual!!! I turned on the radio this morning only to hear a new sound like a corporate conglomerate! Oh I am MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am just floored! Not Cuzin Kevin and Antoine! Are you kidding. I lived in Texas for years and I would listen to Steve Harvey and he was funny.
Can't no one do it to us in the Bay like our own. It is truley a sad state of affairs when those in power think that a syndicated show will make us happy instead of a Morning Show that speak to us because it is about us and made just for us.
Cuzin Kevin you are our perfect fit. The one size fit all doesn't do it for for us here. If anyone hears of Kevin Brown turning up on any other radio show please send the word out. I've never done anything like this but I felt I had to post something in hopes of getting Kevin Brown back.
I'm under 30 and I love Kevin Brown. We miss you!!! The Bay Area is pleading for you to bring our Cuzin Kevin back. Now its gone! I am not listening to a taped broadcast! Loyal listener since the 80s now needs a new station, sigh, keep radio local..
Agree with all of the comments above and will not be listening to KBLX any more. I like Steve Harvey, but he doesn't live in the Bay Area. What can be done to stop this madness and the dismantling of Black radio stations that target listeners who are 45 years and older.
I mourn the loss of KBLX, and will no longer listen to the station. The morning show with Kevin Brown as good clean fun as you are driving to work. Niki, Joe and Keven made it a nice day to wake up too. I absolutely loved his admonition, "Tell those babies you love them; they'll have a better day and you'll have a better day Kevin, we LOVE you and want you back. What the heck? This news really saddens me!!!! My fellow listeners have said it all.
We should all boycott the new syndicated show until Kevin and Antoine are reunited with the family. You have lost your loyal listeners for good!!!!! I have enjoyed listening to cousin Kev's morning show. He has awesome skill of pleasing the public. We won't miss him Steve Harvey is not comparison.
Do we need to boycott? Kevin if you're reading or listening AKA Shirley Girl. This is a horrible move. Kevin Brown is like a bay area icon. Still not too late to make this right. Cousin Kev I miss you. Why would they do this?? Entercom or whatever sucks! You think you made the right money move, HAH!!! You will lose listeners, guaranteed. This is ridiculous!
I missed cousin Kev when he was out on vacation but now to think of not hearing him clown with nikki and joe, to hear his crazy laugh? I will no longer listen to kblx. Over 70 yrs of age and was a longtime, loyal fan. We will miss you cousin kev. I tried twice to see what it was about the Steve Harvey show that Entercom would think makes Kevin Brown, a local institution, replaceable. All I could stand to bear was no more than 2 minutes each time.
Frankly, I find the Steve Harvey show insulting. Together, Kevin, Nikki, and Joe had the perfect chemistry and the station had class that catered to a diverse, intelligent population. I have watched him participate in community events and attend late night concerts.
I have no intention of listening to syndicated Steve Harvey. I can listen to him in every other city I visit. That is what made the Bay unique.
Bad decisions here. I am boycotting the new KBLX. They made a huge mistake in letting Kevin Brown go. Even the Gospel show on Sunday mornings is gone! We have to show them better than we can tell them. Everyone needs to boycott! You just lost a Loyal listener!!!! Guess i'll be listening to Estereo Sol KBLX just lost me as a listener The team of Kevin, Niki, and Joe have made my morning commute enjoyable for years.
I am sad to see it end As far as I am concerned, there is no longer any kind of morning program. I am now searching other stations hoping to find Cousin Kev is still alive and broadcasting in his unique style. Loved the morning team - Kevin, Joe, and Nikki Kevin was the element that put a special spin on the morning.
I listen to the show every day I look forward to Monday dealing with relationships each day strange stories on Fridays the Catfish I listen to it few times I hate it tell Steve Harvey go home and bake some cookies! Those who are up in arms with Mr. Harvey may want to re-think bad comments toward him instead address KBLX with more postive ways to bring our favorite morning host back.
S Steve Harvey bring new engery to the station also. Bankruptcy Copurt, but as far as I know, as of today May 10 , it has yet to be approved by the Federal Communications Commission, which has sole authority to approve broadcast licenses. Sad, sad, sad. Thanks for some reallly fun memories. This is a travesty! Cuz Kevin, Nickki, and Joe's chemistry can't be bought, nor replaced.
These corporations don't think about how these radio personalities are truly the bright spot in peoples day. I have been listening to this morning show for years and its disheartening to realize that they, that have been a staple in our community, won't be back. The morning show worked so well because they actually lived in and were apart of the community that they talked to.
I'm really considering starting a movement to bring the morning show back. We, the consumers have to realize our power; with no us there is no them.
Boycott KBLX! ITS no disrespect to Steve Harvey, because i love him too, however, Kevin had been loyal to the Bay Area for years, and we should show that same love and remain loyal to him! What a surprise to turn on the radio and expect to hear what you have known and loved for years and find it is gone.
KBLX may have added a new format for the morning which they think will bring in more people but all they have done is loose a ton of listeners. Me for one!!
OMG, what have they done? KBLX has lost a loyal listener!! Shame on you, KBLX!!! I would say YES!!!! No disrespect to Steve Harvey or people who carry a strong faith but I don't want to hear Steve for 12 minutes giving me a spiritual message. I thinks it's insensitive and disgraceful California is NOT part of the bible belt The whole program has no flow to it, how do go from a 12 minute sermon to Hollywood Minute???
It's a disgrace I critiqued and I will now go to Sirius radio for Smooth Jazz. I hope they are somewhere laughing I couldn't believe it when I heard it, and for the first time I listened yesterday morning What the hell is this "Strawberry Letter" crap!! How dare you try and replace the "Love Doctor" with that BS!!! I will no longer listen to KBLX which really saddens me because this was my favorite station, but to get rid of Kevin is a travesty!!!
I HATE any kind of talk show in the morning and yet Kevin Brown was the only thing that always got my day started right!! I've have tried the "new" KBLX The three times i tried to listen to it, I'm back to hating it and keeping hoping that when I tune in I'll hear Kevins voice again like he's been on a long vacation!
I offically took With all due respect to Steve Harvey, his morning show is just not good. Every word that comes out of his mouth is not funny. However, his morning team hangs on every expression as though it were hilarious. His format does showcase different celebrities and a different format. But the show does not fit the market here nor compares to what Kevin Brown brings to the community.
Since the change, I no longer listen the station at all. I love Kevin Brown too. The Love Doctor was so interesting. What a classy guy. This makes no sense Where the heck is Kevin Brown? Has some other stations picked up this great talent? Somebody must have an update? I guess I will listen to another station now. Just found out about the "new" KBLX. To be honest, I had stop listening to FM radio a year ago and switched to satellite radio.
I use to listen to cousin Kevin Brown every day for years and through the years the show had gotten stale. It was the same format day in and day out that I could repeat it in my sleep along with cousin Brown's phoney laugh. And the music line up was so outdated. I love the old school music but they played the short list of songs.
Also an equal mix of the latest music would have been nice. Having local personalities lead a radio station has its pluses but those personalities can become too comfortable and out-dated. It is important for an entertainer to keep their self "fresh" and the Kevin Brown show did not do that. Sometimes change is good, even though it is hard. Add your comments anonymously if you prefer.

The climate that created the Trayvon Martin situation and so many before and after is due in part to media programming. Jerry Kang warned in "Trojan Horses of Race" that television news perpetuates and creates racism.
While we're looking at broadcasting, check your local newspapers. Unless the person was hired recently, the San Francisco Chronicle does not have one Black reporter. I believe Shelah Moody was the last fired. So let's not give a pass to newspapers and the Internet that can have similar results as Dr. Kang describes in his work:. In particular, they reveal that most of us have implicit biases in the form of negative beliefs stereotypes and attitudes prejudice against racial minorities.
This is notwithstanding sincere self-reports to the contrary. These implicit biases have been demonstrated to have real-world consequence - in how we interpret actions, perform on exams, interact with others, and even shoot a gun Troubling is what's on the local news. Sensationalistic crime stories are disproportionately shown: If it bleeds, it leads.
Racial minorities are repeatedly featured as violent criminals. Consumption of these images, the social cognition research suggests, exacerbates our implicit biases against racial minorities. Steve Harvey, We Love You, but can you come when the people invite you instead of this forced arrangement.
Here are some related links to the Bay Area's response:. There's a call to write federal legislators, but the most effective campaign will be the one that impacts the bottom line. Folks write the advertisers and just turn that dial to make your point to media.
