Let's focus in on this logic, shall we?
Take a bunch of crap; throw a pile of it against the wall and see if any of it sticks. They do a lot of that in sales, so can a local TV station be in the mix? Of course, especially when the local station is KRON, your 24/7 news and infomercial station sensation.
It's parent company, Young Broadcasting, has launched a deal to begin programming with the Country Network and KRON is one of its stations that will be a part of the network. UPDATE NOTE: (The CN will be on KRON's 4.2 digital sub- channel; thanks readers and kronophytes)
First thing I think of when watching a Merle Haggard video is the SF Bay Area. Yeah, I'm aware there's a huge country music following here, but this here, partner, ain't no Fresno.
God, will they ever learn?
Spot on, Rich. "I was drunk the day my Momma got out of prison" just doesn't seem to resonate in the SF Bay Area like it would elsewhere. The KRON slow motion implosion continues.
ReplyDeleteAre you being Punked with this?
ReplyDeleteThen again, it sounds like Hee Haw over at KRON anyway.
Because the Will and Grace/Glee/L Word demographic is already being served Kountry KRON may indeed collect underserved eyeballs.
ReplyDeleteSomehow when I read this I couldn't help but think Darya Folsom and reverse cowgirl.
ReplyDeleteRich, take a closer look at the press release. It won't be on Ch. 4 proper but one of its digital subchannels, 4.2. Other stations in town broadcast whole "networks" on their subchannels (e.g., Korean Broadcasting System on KICU's 36.2 and Azteca America on KOFY's 20.4). So KRON will be catering to an extremely niche market: Bay Area C&W fans who have digital over-the-air antennas and don't have (or don't care about) cable TV. And all 5 of them should be thrilled by this news.
ReplyDeletetheres more to the bay area than just boystown and oakland. theres still lotsa good old boys and girls down here in southern santa clara county, up in sonoma and the east parts of coco and alameda county
