I watched KTVU for the 20 years I lived in the Bay Area. I still visit frequently. If the anchors are forced to say this, I will watch the TV news on another station, or not at all, when I'm in the Bay Area. This is shameful.
This Ed person is pushing viewers away, in my book.
Could be worse. Originally management wanted them to say, "Thanks for trusting us. Now go out and have a nice day, and don't forget to turn that frown upside down! Peace -- out."
KNBR ends it shows with- "Fucked you up again!" KNTV now ends newscasts with- "Now clean up after your Christina enjoyment" THE GAME ends with- " Pandering to demographics-in stereo!"..unless your more then 12 miles away,then mono. KQED now ends with "Can you believe we USED to be educational?"
Yes...reminds me also of the curious and enigmatic Dan Rather signoff...and we though THAT was weird at the time. This one for KTVU is downright laughable. Wonder if the anchors can roll their eyes when they say this? Seems like a You Tube collection is in roder, of the KTVU anchors signing off.

"Courage" Dan Rather; September 1986...
ReplyDeleteAren't we supposed to "trust" ALL newscasts?
ReplyDeleteAdam Meyer segment on KNBR ends with: "Bent you over again,sucker!..YOU NEVER LEARN dumb bastards!"..It's as catchy as the kars for kids jingle.
ReplyDeleteOh brother.

ReplyDeleteI know what goes on behind the scenes in the KTVU Newsroom.
ReplyDeleteI trust them as much as I trust that the Republican Party has my best interests at heart.
Neither actually cares about the Truth or what is best for the people they are supposed to be serving.
They only exist to pad their wallets and fill the coffers of their corporate bosses.
Don't drink the Kool-Aid.
They should end with a "Stay classy, San Diego!" from Anchorman and, yes, use San Diego and not San Francisco.
ReplyDeleteOther good ones to end on...
"...and stick THAT in your pipe and smoke it!!"
"Who's your Daddy?"
"...and for all of us at (station ID), I'm (name here) and I'm not wearing any pants!!"
"We're done here! I need a drink!"
"Angels fly because they have wings, stupid!"
"Wow! Who farted in the newsroom?"
"And remember...Sports players are characters and they reveal themselves on their cell photo pics! I'm lookin' at you, Favre!"
"Damn! My nipples ache!"
"Can I pee now? Longest half hour ever!"
[In Forrest Gump voice] "And that's all I have to say about that!"
"And to the intern that stole my parking spot earlier, die, bitch!"
"Dibs on the Weather Girl!"
"Catch you on the flipside, Daddy-O!!"
"Yo! Mutha F*cka world all messed up, ain't it? Sh*t!!"
"That's a wrap! You can roll over and go to sleep now!"
Frank signed off at 6:30 with "Have a good evening, everyone" and Julie added something about "Good night". Rebels!!!
ReplyDeleteSomebody please start a "Special Ed" revolt!
ReplyDeleteto 9:18 according to Rich it has started--
ReplyDeletei'm waaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiittttiiiiinnnnnggggg
I really trust Gasia and Heather Holmes, and also Rosemary the weather hottie
ReplyDeleteWill he have them start with "I'm ______ and you're not"? That newscast had more credibility than this signoff...
