Timeshare on KGO Radio - The Ronn Owens Program

1 comment

by Mark Silverman, S.F. Timeshare Examiner

Ronn Owens, Marconi Award winner

Don’t know if you heard this, but I did a quick guest spot on the Ronn Owens Program on KGO Radio, San Francisco’s 50,000 watt powerhouse.

Okay, it wasn’t that tough to make happen - my other identity is producer of the top-rated Ronn Owens Program.

Turns out, Ronn Owens doesn’t know a whole lot about timeshare. And while he was intrigued by the wide variety of options available, especially prices that could be under $1,000 or over a million dollars.

But he’s not sure what the level of audience interest would be in an entire hour dedicated to the topic.

That’s where you come in. If you would like to hear more timeshare on mainstream radio shoot Ronn an email at

sfowens@gmail.com.

And for those of you outside the area, you can hear the program streaming live at kgoradio.com. And it will be archived for a week after the broadcast.

Keep those cards and letters coming.

For more info: You can hear Mark Silverman on the Michael Finney Program Saturday October 11 between 4-7PM Pacific Time
