The sun has set on The Extreme Scene's relationship with our flagship station, KNBR 1050. After working there for 8 years and 4 months (the past two-plus years as their Creative Director and sports anchor), we have decided to mutually part ways. It's a shame that they won't keep the show around, but life goes on.
I honestly don't think the reality has set in yet. I haven't been happy there for a long time, and knew this day would come. And today it has. While I'm not saddened that much by leaving my Creative Director post, there is a hint of disappointment that the brass at KNBR opted not to keep the show around. We weren't getting paid, the show brought a youthful demographic to the station, and at times we made station sponsors happy. This will be KNBR's loss more than ours.
I won't lie, while most of my close friends over the years at KNBR have moved on, there are still some really good people there. I wish them all the best and will miss a lot of them dearly. Fortunately The Extreme Scene is still on the air at KSCO 1080 in the Santa Cruz/Monterey area, where you can catch us every Saturday at 6 p.m. Over the next few months we'll be working on finding a new station in San Francisco to keep our San Francisco/Bay Area reach intact, and hopefully shortly thereafter find new stations in Southern California and beyond to expand our show.
Thanks to everyone over the years for their kindness and support. The Extreme Scene will continue to grow stronger and thrive. Don't count us out, this is only a small step backwards towards a huge step forwards in the continued progress that has defined our show and crew.

Yippy:)...they suck!
It's KNBR's loss.
Good Luck Cy.
Talent always will win out.
Truth be told, you're far bigger and have more 'gusto than KNBR can ever dream of. "Sports Leader?" My ass.

Wait, so they got rid of you and the show right after you got back from Mexico? Couldn't they have told you this was going to happen so you could have stayed there for a while? Fucking pricks.
That sucks - people are sick and tired of nationally syndicated shows with no local flavor. Your show breaks up the same old crap you hear on the AM dial and i'm positive this will open new doors for everyone.
You guys will find a better home that matches what your trying to do ~! So sorry to hear your leaving as well - hang in there, Seattle is nice this time of year if you up for a road trip
wow...big mistake knbr. Extreme Scene- you guys have done a great thing here and I know you have a very bright future ahead. I can't wait to see whats next...much luck to you guys!
It was truly a pleasure to produce your show back in 2005-06 at the leader. Especially, when KNBR carries very little local programming it was a breath of fresh air to listen to and be apart of the Extreme Scene. Talent never goes un-noticed and I know you guys will find something better.......
