Questions about people who have been heard on San Francisco airwaves during morning drive time, who generally have other, more nationally accessible claims to fame. People in my neck of the woods will have a built-in advantage, but these questions should be accessible to all. 18 questions, 7 moneys.

Which game show host finished his Bay Area radio career with a morning show on KABL (960 AM) from 1997-2005? (KABL played adult standards -- Sinatra et al. -- at the time.) This man's previous game show gigs included $100,000 Name That Tune and The Dating Game.
In 2005, the former KABL (the station from the previous question) became San Francisco's affiliate of which liberal/progressive talk radio network that itself lasted from 2004 to 2010? Programs from the early days of this network included Morning Sedition.
Which comedian and podcaster co-hosted Morning Sedition (a show mentioned in the previous question) with Mark Riley? He also replaced Jon Stewart as host of Short Attention Span Theater on Comedy Central.
Shifting topics: The former 98.1 KISS FM ("Old School and Today's R&B") had a morning show featuring Renel Brooks-Moon, who also has a (mostly) night gig. In 2000, Renel replaced Sherry Davis in a field that is otherwise overwhelmingly male. Who is Renel's employer, an entity that Horace Stoneham relocated from New York several decades ago?
Christie James, the co-host of Renel's Record Party (alluded to in the previous question), recently moved over to 103.7 (newly christened as "iHeart80s") to produce a morning show hosted by which former colleague of Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, and the late J.J. Jackson?
Speaking of '80s music: Which 1984 "Weird Al" Yankovic song is a direct parody of a song by The Greg Kihn Band (whose eponymous frontman had a classic rock morning show on KUFX, "98.5 K-FOX")? The video for this song has cameo appearances by Greg Kihn himself, Art Fleming, and Don Pardo, among others.
Three different San Francisco radio stations have employed Mike Nelson as a morning host or co-host. Nelson is better known locally by what two-word, alliterative (anti-)appellation? This descriptor also applies to a horse from America's 1972 soft rock hit about a journey through the desert.
From 1997 to 2015, KMKY (1310 AM) was San Francisco's affiliate of what network with content aimed at children and teens? Morning programs on this network have included The Wakey Blakey Show and Morgan & Maddy in the Morning.
Either of two similar answers is acceptable. Since a 2015 sale, KMKY (the station from the previous question) has styled itself as Radio [BLANK]. Identify either the region whose name fills in the blank, or the similarly-named language (the station's main broadcast language) spoken by over 100 million people in that region and worldwide. (According to a 2011 census that Indo-European language is the 3rd most commonly spoken language in the United Kingdom behind English and Polish.)
Two answers required. In 2005 Howard Stern left terrestrial radio. Some CBS Ratio stations replaced Stern with a new show hosted by (and named for) a hard rock vocalist. Others, mainly on the West Coast and including San Francisco's KITS (Live 105), went with a new show hosted by (and named for) the former co-host of Loveline. Name both of those Stern successors; you may know the former from an isolated vocal track of "Running With the Devil," and/or the latter from voicing Death on several episodes of Family Guy.
After a few months, Live 105 stopped carrying a show mentioned in the previous question. In its place came The Woody, Tony, and Ravey Show, whose eponymous DJs relocated from an alternative rock station in what city? Other DJs with ties to this city include Mancow Muller (who used to be nationally syndicated but is now heard only here) and Steve Dahl (who has an afternoon show here, 37 years removed from his role in Disco Demolition Night).
Mancow (mentioned in the previous question) was fired from a San Francisco station in the 1990s after a poorly conceived publicly stunt in which he blocked the Bay Bridge. That stunt was inspired by allegations (now known to be false) that President Bill Clinton as president had stopped air traffic at LAX while doing what?
Which "psychedelic soul" band, notably integrated and co-ed, had hits with "Dance to the Music," "Hot Fun in the Summer Time," and "Everyday People"? Before this band's success, its frontman was a DJ at KSOL (1450 AM, not to be confused with either the 107.7 FM station that fired Mancow or the current 98.9 FM Qué Buena) and sprinkled Beatles and Stones tracks into a mostly soul playlist.
Circling back to game show hosts: Don Bleu was a fixture in San Francisco morning radio until recently. (His last gig was at the station that changed formats to iHeart80s.) Bleu also hosted the late-1980s syndicated run of what contest show? Will Arnett is expected to host a reboot of this show on ABC in 2017.
Speaking of ABC, for a few months in 2016, Mark Curry co-hosted the morning Dream Team show on KBLX (102.9, "The Bay's R&B") after KBLX dropped The Steve Harvey Show. You may know Curry better from playing the title role on which 1990s sit-com set in Oakland? It came on immediately after Full House in its first season, prior to joining the TGIF programming block.
The all-news station KCBS (740 AM) has "traffic on the 8s," most of the time, but the weekday 8:18 report is almost always delayed by a live phone call, every weekday at 8:15, with which former football coach and TV (and video game) personality?
After 35 years of rock, KSJO (92.3 FM in San Jose) switched formats in 2004 to "La Preciosa," Spanish-language oldies. (It has had many format changes since then, including alternative, "China FM," country, and most recently Bollywood.) Before the switch to "La Preciosa," KSJO's final song as a rock station was which 1983 Wall of Voodoo song?
Your smith's favorite morning radio show is "A Morning Cup of [BLANK]," hosted by Alisa Clancy on listener-supported KCSM (91.1). (The show's name is arguably quite risque, though probably not intentionally.) What word not only completes the name of that show but also best describes what one hears 24 hours a day on KCSM?
