Those of you who dwell on the fact that I dwell about how moronic Karel is and how KGO management is so damn desperate to get a pulse from the younger, (anyone under 68-crowd), that they re-hire this doofus, you're right. I do dwell and yes, KGO is desperate and yes,Karel is a tired-out doofus.
Think about it. What does Karel offer? He's used the same tired old act since his days at KFI in LA and most recently, KGO, here in the city. There's no novelty to his act--only frail, uncreative people like Jack Swanson and Deidra Lieberman, (no relation), plus a small, shallow "following" follow Karel.
So sad.

*Oh, happy days: KRON is actually making a little money these days--how gratifying, maybe more furniture for Henry's Garden and one less Discovery Bay real estate infomercial.
*Henry Wofford: keep that 'natural voice coming, how awe-inspiring.
*Scott Reiss: Phony, dude.
*Greg Papa: Did you notice that the last time I did the show, I TALKED OVER YOU?
*The pompous a-hole at KNIBBER who continually writes troll material for his wickedly sick defacto boss my way get this: I know who you are and when I can trace it, you're mincemeat.
*On a lighter note, Howard Stern was lunching here in the city last week and made quite a splash at Sam's.

hey Rich I hope you didn't hyperventilate while blowing up your potential future ex-wife? :O
ReplyDeleteKNBR is just-F'up. I was listening last week when Urban filled. And..first some older guy called and blabbed..but called Byrnzee-" a whirling dirvish"..ok. Then,half hour later,a supposed different caller who sounded the same to me called Byrnzee "a whirling dirvish". Gee,KNBR has plants and those plants make mistakes ya think?
ReplyDeleteAnd Radnich now claiming to love Hockey when two years ago he moaned on air how Lee Hammer ordered him to interview the Sharks president? Strangest thing to hear him vamp like he KNOWS Hockey-lol,Sure and I know Polo! Lets all thanks the lord KNBR doesnt carry the world Cricket finals. Sponsored by Raid...
My sources tell me Kristy Seifin is your future ex-wife. My sources also tell me things are looking up at KRON, KNBR and KTVU contrary to your babble. Another source has informed me you would love to trade places with anyone presently on broadcast radio/tv, including Karel. Lastly, a source didn't need to tell me most of what you write about is wrong. Have you ever lived up to that bet of kissing the steps of KRON?
ReplyDelete"I decided to sleep in Sunday and make love to a potential future ex-wife."
ReplyDeleteTaping a photo of Christina Loren to your pillow doesn't count, Rich! :)
I turned on KNBR this morning to Radnich's show (I don't have the hate for him that most seem to around these parts) and there was a LOT of commercials. I did switch over to that new FM station with the A's and that was some painfully unpolished radio. I like the new options and the clear FM signal but "The Wolff" has a ways to go before they compete on the talent level.
Kristy Seifkin is his future ex wife? That hottie wouldn't give Rich the time of day if he were the last man on earth! Thats why he hates her so much!
ReplyDeleteUh,11:54? I'm not as sure as you that posting Kristy's his future ex wife is the big insult snarkyism comeback.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Howard Stern mention. Nice to see something that isn't KGO, KRON, Chronicle and SF Giants bashing.
ReplyDeleteKristy Siefkin would actually blow him if he was a news director/GM of a tv news station
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a company whore themselves out to advertisers as badly as KRON. Best of the Bay = advertisers just pay for the "award". Need a news set for your fake breaking news commercial about a mattress sale? Look to KRON. The list goes on and on. You'd never see this happen in any other major market news station.
ReplyDeleteJust a complete and utter lack of standards and consistency.
i concur wofford is woeful. so many pukers out there
ReplyDeletedo they really think its necessary to sound like they are on a roller-coaster
dave clark of ktvu also a puker
i love the mute button on my remote.
Hey 3:01pm - Best of the Bay is not a KRON production. It is an independent company that buys time on the station. It is actually the same people that were behind the now defunt San Jose Magazine. They started this while San Jose magazine was in publication. Opted to continue the show because it was more profitable than the magazine. The mattress sale spots you are referencing are also not produced at or by KRON but by an ad agency and air on many stations. I do agree with you that KRON does lack standards and consistency but those two items are not in the station's control. Where its lacks is in its news product adn the stories they 'cover'.
ReplyDeleteTim Kawakami says he will return to Comcast tommorow.Not a big surprise..the ebb and flow of media and alliances seems to always be in flux. Thats because of the KNBR/NBC/Giants who want control. What they might be learning is-the more they control,the more its boring to fans.
ReplyDeleteIf Comcast was smart,they would have Rich on with Papa acknowledging "Our biggest critic and who thinks we should all leave the business is a guest"..joke,and roll with it.
Barry Tompkins in lockstep with Scott Ostler and Mike Urban is ultimate bore sports TV.

ReplyDeleteRyan Liong again? Hey Ryan....if I wanted to listen to Sharks talk I will go and listen to the OFFICIAL home of the Sharks. Not the bandwagon leader.
You won't get any complaints from me over your critiques of the hapless radio host that is Karel. Not only is he tired and uncreative, he's a complete and utter amateur who has no business being on a major station in the nation's #4 market.
ReplyDeleteI mean, really, who listened to this guy's voice and disorganized caterwauling and decided, "You know what? He needs to be on radio."
