"...and at the editor's desk, Rich Lieberman." Man, I love that line.
So, the new year is about to begin -- even if Karel really comes through to pre-tape three hours of his shtick that someone on Front Street must really like a lot. I'm still betting it's Jared Hart, because the 28-year-old boy wonder has to figure that since he's in the demographic -- so is everyone else who listens to the Trish Robbins find in Charles Karel Bouley II.
It was a clown choice that eventually cost Trish her job as "Executive Producer" or assistant program director or head of producer support or whatever in the hell she did in being a big boss at Kay Gee Oh My God, what are we doing to the beloved 8-1-0 AM?
But I digress.
Speaking of, The Karel Show Home Studio is dark on his web site, and there is a note stating "I'm recording the show LIVE now!" which means that he is recording his 9 station wing-din at 11 a.m. on this Thursday morning. Could it be that he will be doing the same thing on Saturday ... pre-recording his 7-10 flamer with calls because he posts that he recording "Live" at 11 a.m. to make it sound "REAL?" Oh dear.
I AM Rich Lieberman and I AM at the freaking' editor's desk!
So, let's see what happens with this schlock jock so he can go out for "New Year's Eve and I'm outta here, honey!" If Cumulus pays this moron for pre-recording a show on a major station in the worst day part in radio in San Francisco -- I would not be surprised.
Speaking of surprises ... next week, Jan. 3, Len & Gene debut on the new KKSF- 910. Len has his own toll free number, even! 1-866-LEN-1000. Now THAT's a "loy-ah".
Also on Jan. 3, changes a'comin' to the big 8-1-0, too. Will "Coast-to-Coast" fall off KSFO? Clear Channel owns the show, but they probably don't want it back. That means that POS "Red Eye Radio" will, in fact, be making changes with two dudes who did some midnight trucker's show will now pilot the "new" "Red Eye Radio." Stay tuned.
Incidentally, the guy that hosted "Red Eye" didn't get fired ... this time. He did get fired from KABC in LA when Citadel owned it, but then, he invented "Red Eye" and they brought him back. Now, Cumulus owns KABC and the braintrust there figured they needed a new morning show, so, they brought Doug McIntyre off of the "Red Eye" and put his ass on morning drive on KABC starting Jan. 3. What a concept!
And will KGO or KSFO become the new home for Cumulus' "Geraldo Rivera Show"? Two hours of that pompous ass live from New York (WABC) from 10 to Noon, starting Jan. 3. Then, on Jan. 30th, he replaces John Phillips for two hours at KABC from 10 to Noon. And then ... look for "The Best of Geraldo" maybe on KSFO or KGO. Then, when Ronn Owens hangs it up, they'll expand the morning news to 10 a.m. and have Geraldo on from 10 to Noon once that news idea takes off at KGO! See we know all this crap. Why? Because ...
"At the editor's desk ... Rich Lieberman."
*Follow me on Twitter and scream outside, "You're a Moron!"
I am surprised you have not yet reported on the return of KRON New Year's Live. Will Ratnich make a return? Last year Vickie Luviackis and Catherine Henan held court. I was struck by Vickie's sensuality. Yuuum
ReplyDeleteI liked Karel, at first. His persona, that is. But, his constant references to everything sexual are just in poor taste. If Frank Sinatra were on the air talking about some hot young thing, I would say the same thing. My complaint is not based upon his sexual preference; it is based upon what is and is not appropriate. When he spoke of a "two-headed" "girl" from Brazil the other day, he wondered ALOUD "I wonder which one will get to masturbate." That is a paraphrase. Then, he talked about the last New Year's Eve with his husband, mentioning they were so mad at each other, the "didn't even have sex." I could go on and on and on and on. When his hot phone rang during the show (radio people will know which one that is), he said he must have said something wrong. Well, it was right after he mentioned the two-headed girl in Brazil. Maybe it was too much for the peon station KGOE, which is listened to by about three people in Humboldt County, if they can get the reception. Oh, maybe HSU students listen to it, but I doubt it. Maybe even the brainless dwarfs at KGOE have had enough. Or maybe it was one of his other miserly, backwater stations. Oh, and the guy cannot even make sure his podcasts are loaded daily.
ReplyDeleteThe phrase 80 80 810 will never sound the same.
ReplyDeletethis whole thing has me sick! All of the above and all the before...I just miss the way KGO was and hate the wayyy it is going now...
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for Gene to debut. However, up in Santa Rosa I'm having trouble getting it on my house radio or transistor. I get it fine in the car. I could listen on my laptop but don't want to drag that around. I'm wondering if you have any idea for me?
ReplyDeleteRay has a Facebook Page now and is very involved in it. He will be at the rally they are having tomorrow night. Not sure if any of the other hosts will be there. Interesting.
Why won't you promote the charity event at KGO tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteRich, Isn't it hypocritical to complain that people are trying to silence you and yet you consistently censor critical messages on this message board?
ReplyDeleteTo 9:05-- I bet the only thing censored here is the continous loop of the same-ole same-ole cumulus "fans" with their unprintable expletives. Showing once again, the dumbing down of America. We the fans of the ORIGINAL 810 gather here for support. You the Dickey-heads are immature jackasses. If we wanted to read your pointless idiotic posts we would be listening to your KGOE.
ReplyDeleteTo 9:05 --
ReplyDeleteGood point, but only one problem with your theory and logic:
It's HIS blog -- you and we little people are merely guests.
Hypocritical? Look at it this way -- you could do your own blog filled with what you term as "critical messages" and we can then bow down to your thrown. Maybe you just pissed him off and like so many in this world today were dismissed.
Better luck next time.
