Kristen Sze has been mysteriously absent from the KGO-TV morning news team the past couple of weeks, (she co-anchors with Eric Thomas) but not to worry: the popular Sze has been merely on an extended vacation.
Some of my readers were concerned when Sze's colleagues failed to say, on-air, that the anchor was away. From a KGO insider, "that's the news directors 'Joe Friday-handbook'. Oh, sure, just the facts.
*Speaking of Channel 7, that truly groundbreaking, historic and God's gift to the world afternoon sensation, '7Live', hosted by the "Not a Genuine Talk-show host", received a local Emmy for "Best Interaction." The world will never be the same.
*It's reached a point of no return with that news exec who likes to show the ladies his wares. He simply continues his increasingly dangerous behavior, which is so well-known in the market, its become a joke. The fact that his bosses know it makes it even worse.
*And the local TV reporter with a loudmouth is continuing his North Beach prowls with enough gusto and "you know who I am?" that a few bartenders have given him a warning.
*Christine Craft on KGO Radio: Pat Thurston with substance.
*ESPN Deportes began broadcasting on the old KTRB, (860 AM) frequency this morning. Your local SF news media didn't think that was news, (except 415 Media) even though a host of other industry on-line sites, (like, AllAccess) thought so.
*That KNBR loud-mouth host who thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread apparently was given the "we're not interested" signal from the new FM sports station. Like Cumulus, Entercom doesn't pay all that well, and that's in good times.
*Jumped the shark with authority: Stephanie Miller.
*Nice programming move by the doofus' at Talk910, KNEW, by moving Phil Hendrie into the wee hours with 2 clowns nobody has ever heard of. Keep up the great work, idiots.
*Copeland subbing for Ronn Owens the past week: Always wanted to hear Steve Erkel on KGO.
*If Merv Griffin were alive, he'd have taken out the million or so needed to keep KCSM-TV off the "for sale" block which it should be. Here's hoping that the radio station is not messed with either. Sonny Buxton is too cool.
*Follow me on Twitter
Knbr host... Damon?
ReplyDeleteSze "might" be popular with viewers, but is disliked in the newsroom.
ReplyDelete'7Live', Best Interaction. The interaction was changing the channel. Come on, was that category created just for the show? '7Live' constantly pushes Twitter and Facebook yet the show has fewer followers and fans than just about any other show on the air. If 'interaction' means reading comments on the air, wow, what a groundbreaking concept, then sure, '7Live' does that. '7Live' must be cheap to produce, like a newscast, or else this show would have died a long time ago. The set is low budget, the live studio is small, the hosts are bland, and the content is boring. What a joke.
ReplyDeleteSomeone at KGO needs to tell Kristen Sze to stop dressing like bimbo. It's hard to take her seriously!
ReplyDeleteDamon went from his BMW suv endorsement to a mere Honda since his move to 1050,so he's not KNBR night host/post Giants money. Radnich has been doing a lot of complaining at how the business is,and I know he's not happy Hammer saddled him with a Berkeley Lesbian-that's two people in one room biting their tongues not trying to offend or be offended-for 3 hours a day.
ReplyDeleteOT: Monty at 95.7.."I'm not some T&A guy"..27 minutes later his picked topic was what threesome he dreams of..uhuh...
Back to topic-Dan Noyes seems like the kind of guy..just a wild guess 'tho
Kristen "disliked" in the newsroom? Oh...tell me more!
ReplyDeleteMr. Media, it seems most of your comments are from those who are in the biz. My advice, stop reading RL415 and get your lazy low paying asses back too work!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of jack-ass news director doesn't tell viewers what's happening when a news host disappears -- for weeks? Hell, fans might figure Kristen got "Janelled" and suddenly get infatuated with Elizabeth Wengert on channel 5, never to return. Hell, who wants to watch or work with that sourpuss Eric Thomas anyway?
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, Rich. Kristen Sze IS fine!
ReplyDeleteESPN Deportes began broadcasting on the old KTRB, (860 AM) frequency this morning.... actually yesterday afternoon
ReplyDeleteAgree with your comments about Christine Craft. Not only does she have more substance than Pat Thurston, she also has a sense of humor and a much better radio voice.
ReplyDeleteStop the presses! D.Bruce unloads on the Warriors and Bob Fitzgerald. Bob is "Bought and paid for" and "Has watched so much bad Warrior basketball,he doesnt know what a good team is like".
ReplyDeleteI think that D.Bruce found that being a company good boy did nothing for his career. Contract wise? Either he's getting close to the end or like a Bob Geren/Lance/Don Nelson/he's fed up and maybe looking forward to being fired. Theres 95.7 even if it means he has to budget the high life and playmates.
KNBR is a leaky ship-95.7 has been like a torpedo that did real damage even if KNBR is in denial.
With alternatives...some of those KNBR hosts are taking their pride back.
btw, Didnt I post here many a time that Dibs jabs sounded like he meant it? not the schtick that even Radnich tried to convince himself was an act.
too much inside baseball here, i can't decipher who's who...e.g. i thought:
ReplyDeleteThat KNBR loud-mouth host who thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread
was Gary Radnich, no?
anyway, its getting kind of bitter on here... :(
I'd do Sze...
ReplyDeleteBitter is one of the spices of life that ad variety. Some enjoy it. Everything in moderation...
ReplyDeletei bet Christine Craft sets those vanity google alerts on her own name. Pat Thirsty is a leftist joke.
ReplyDeleteOf all the Asians,Chinese woman who are attractive tend to be most narcissistic and self centered. They dont join the peace corps and go to latin america or africa, they DO go for white men over asian men,and have higher feelings of entitlement to the good life. So,Kristin is only being what she's been taught-the superior Tiger anchorwoman.
ReplyDeleteWTF? What's the point of allowing racist comments like the one above?
ReplyDeleteWhy go after Karel for racism and then allow a comment like this one?
It does your blog no credit at all.
HOT Sze
ReplyDelete@Rich: Do you know when Kristen Sze's birthday is? I'm thinking she's one of the following: Libra, Leo, Gemini...
