KRON is 'Young'; 'Kuip and the rap; Enuf IPhone coverage; Thursday pulse

Yippee, looks as if Vince Young and his Young Broadcasting has officially emerged from bankruptcy and Young himself will maintain direction at what Newsblues called "albatross KRON."

Good news and bad news here. It's Young and his team of soldiers that since day one of buying the station that has systematically ruined this once-fine SF TV outlet, with a big assist from NBC. (In retrospect, think NBC would have swallowed their pride a decade ago and made a deal to stay put with KRON?)

Meanwhile, at 1001 Van Ness, between all the lawn furniture commercials, infomercials, lovely VJ-looking video quality, they somehow roll on. Sign of the times at KRON: we're now getting in-studio "talent" doing segments on "what 'Facebook -page "friends" are saying about local stories. Hey, it's KRON.

**Duane Kuiper looks a bit uncomfortable on the Giants--KNBR rap, which is simulcast on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. after the conclusion of every Giants home game.

I watched intently after Wednesday's post-game loss to the San Diego Padres and Kuiper seemed oblivious to the cameras, frequently lowering his head onto the microphone as if to say, "get outta here."

I agree with Kuiper.

This is NOT a TV show. You get the feeling that its not just Kuiper that's annoyed, but all the Giants' tonsils, even the kingpin, Jon Miller, then again, Miller sported a pretty nice suit Wed. (Looked like an Armani)

I must admit that I'm not a Giants guy, but I very much enjoy the pg-rap. Its fun to hear the guys let loose a bit and hear them uncontrolled, sort of a free-for-all, and although I'm Comcastic, it appears the presence of TV cameras messes up the pg affair. This is like a party that you're invited to, but you don't want everybody invited.

**Can we put a moratorium on all the Apple/IPhone/'schmyphone "found in bar" items that have permeated the entire Bay Area, and for that matter, national media. Apple has to be giggling all the way to the bank over this extra pub, as if they need it.

Any moron with half-a-brain knows most of this "news" is an out and out publicity stunt; only the media lightweights and dim-witted torsos they call "reporters"; the all-too gleeful, gee-wiz, gen-x bimbos and bimbettes formerly from a Milwaukee-area #68-market, are just plain ga-ga and are more than happy to "report" about the goings-on of the latest cell gadget that "turned up in a bar."
