To answer a few inquires, no, I didn't call KRON for comment. A. They won't talk to me. B. I really have nothing to say to them. C. If they did talk, it'd be a bunch of company bullshit, you know, the usual PC crap.
I don't know Dave Guingona that well outside of a few social occasions and some meetings when I was working more events. He seems like a solid pro and what can you say about 28 years at the same company? He obviously was doing something right because you don't last nearly three decades by being a nincompoop.
I'm hearing he's already been replaced by a clueless female who used to guess the morning weather and that she's a pain in the ass to most of the rank and file. At KRON that seems to be the popular business model adopted by the three head goobers that direct the operation.
And while we're there, I feel for those of you dedicated souls that have to work inside that building; must be worthy of a local Emmy in and of itself.
Speaking of which, as I've said in the past, I have no "thing"/agenda to go after KRON. They already do that themselves. They bring about all the shit and I'm just here to gather it in and report back. I'm a blogger, not a NY Times guy covering business.
Although I will say that I stand by all my information and know that its 100% accurate. So, look, if KRON's three-headed monster want to put something out there, they know how to get a hold of me.
On some days, I wake up and say to myself "maybe today's the day that KRON4 will wake up and smell the roses." But then I realize it's still winter time.
ReplyDeleteI still scratch my head as to how KRON can stay in business with bone-headed moves like this.
KRON is a f-ing joke making the fictional Wayne's World look like the CBS Evening News. Most of the "talent" there have none and the ones that do have talent only stay at KRON because they make bank since KRON is a union shop....
ReplyDelete"Hey Dave, how come you callin' a loyer?"
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, Rich! As a former KRON-vict, I can say your reports are accurate, but since I left, it seems to be a lot worse. It would make a great soap opera, but no one would believe it. How they stay in business with those 3 clowns running the show, is beyond me. I don't know how the people working there can put up with it.
ReplyDeleteKRON is now advertising for a casino in their news crawl. How does such a pathetic, idiotic management team not get canned? Its as though there are no consequences for them to cause what is clearly a miserable work environment and run a once great station into the ground, and yet employees are being let go because of a full email inbox? The station isn't full of enough infomercials, now you can't even read their news crawl without being hit with an ad pitch to go hit the slots. How much longer until they make the weather girls end their forecasts with pitches for furniture stores? In a world with justice these three would be out on their ass.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I use to watch KRON news on the weekends and bet how quickly into the news the three stooges, Duran, Gonzalez and Tannenbaum would start laughing for no apparent reason. It usually occurred within the first 20 seconds, then we switched the channel.
ReplyDeleteKRON is like a college news station... maybe even worse hiring interns to do traffic and weather. It's called free labor people...
ReplyDeleteKristy Siefkin is idiot weather dunce turned VJ replacing Guingona. An outright shame for such a talentless airhead to get an SF gig. Who are you sleeping with Kristy?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Kristy Seifkin in the morning-is she the new producer? As I recall,she sent you a blistering email about your ..um,blurb as to HOW she got that job as weather woman.
ReplyDeleteKristy is the new VJ- since they have the spot open with Guingona gone. Not too worry, she's awful at that too and gets other people to do all the work for her just like in the morning
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, she's still whoring around the boss' office
Lieberman- that "clueless female" crack just rolls of your keyboard a tad too easily. Can you wake up and smell your own sexism? Barely anyone even knows who this new chick is. She didn't fire Guingona, so cut her some slack. And while we are on the topic of your misogyny: Please stop oggling the female talent in print. You might think you are praising them, but really, you are demeaning them. Keep your critiques to their performance, and not their racks. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIf Kristy's ..uh,sacrifices to Pero got her that job...then I want to come back in my next life as Aaron Pero. Darya would be nice to brag about,but Kristy?..oh man, that's a trophy and he didn't even have to marry her. That's having your cake and eat it too!
ReplyDeleteKristy siefkin is a blowup doll with the reading level of a 3rd grader. I can't stand watching her blink 40 times per minute, she looks like she is havimg face spasms
ReplyDeleteWhat about Jacklyn Bennett? Any scoop on her?
ReplyDeleteJaclyn Bennett is boring, she does her job, goes home.She's not screwing any of the bosses like Kristy Siefkin is.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. I have to look at her here in AZ and she has a serious blinking issue. I have to look away or change the station.
