Here's the letter, (I won't use the person's real name, just refer to him as "TT"):
| "You cost the dear boy a day off!Of course, you were right that he was planning to take New Year's Eve off and run taped segments from his syndicated show. I was in his chatroom Saturday and you would have loved the great pains he took to let everyone know that he was live and that you -- he calls you a "hack" by the way -- were wrong and that bloggers unlike "journalists .. like me" -- yes, that's how he referred to himself -- don't check their facts. It go so ridiculous that when he did play the pre-taped interviews he had, with Rep. Barbara Lee and someone else whom I forget, he swung his camera around to the side and contorted his body so that his lips were hidden, (sic) the microphone .. apparently so you couldn't tell whether or not his lips were moving! Hilarious." |
Haaah haaah! Good one, Rich!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you nailed the twerp!
It's just a matter of time before Karel crashes and burns again! I can't listen to him any more. I think once Cumulus actually listens to him, they will fire him.
I also noticed that Cumulus states that they have a drug free environment. Does this mean everyone at KGO will be subjected to drug tests soon?
ReplyDeleteI listened to the whole show on Saturday and you could tell he was pissed he got caught. The funny thing is that he tried to play it off as though the interviews were live. I did not have to see his webcam to know when he was live or taped. The audio is completely different honey! Did any of you catch him reading news articles and top Google searches in the third hour yesterday? That was odd. It was as though he was trying to kill dead air until the paranormal guy's shift started.
ReplyDeleteHere's the link about the baby that Karel thought was so hillariously funny. Moron.

Time to write to his stations to bitch. Plus, he ran his stuff on other radio stations and made it sound like it was on KGO. I wonder how those stations felt about having KGO plastered all over their stations, and KGO is get "seconds".
He didn't need guests. He could have just taken calls and interrupted them and talk about himself. Oh, he did that, too. My bad.
Why listen? It's as fascinating as watching a trainwreck in slow motion seeing this person go into self-destruct mode. Other than that, no value.
Karel is probably like all the rest of the staff...putting in minimal work knowing they will be fired any time now. I don't hate the guy, I just don't find his show very interesting and he can be annoying.
ReplyDeleteI'm most annoyed with Cumulus.
Karel exposed??? Let me shield my eyes!
ReplyDeleteKarel is just a boring blowhard hack! NEXT!!!! Rather listen to Dr. Bill anytime.
ReplyDeleteRadar
Karel and Ron Owens both know their turn to be axed most unceremoniously is coming.
ReplyDeleteWhat type of corporation cans gentlemen like Gene Burns and John Rothman while keeping Karel? The quality and class of the Gene and John is light years ahead of Karel.
I guess is comes down to the God-Almighty $$$$$ for those bastards from Atlanta.
Train wreck. I think he is getting transfusions of Tiger Blood. Too bad he is still losing instead of "winning."
ReplyDeleteHe needs to get on some real meds, not the kind you smoke.
tell me, why do people even waste the time talking about this nit-wit named Karel? He's obviously just another dysfunctional, egotistical, know it all, "look, look at me!" annoying talk show host.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, these types of worthless twerps are more and more popular because companies such as Cumulus deal in pandering 'junk-food radio,' and many lazy, moronic listeners, especially here in the Bay Area, are throwing away hours of their lives listening to this kind of drivel.
The only place on local radio where you can get some kind of objective, thorough, and intelligent overview of what's going on is KQED, because it is listener supported, and doesn't have to pander to companies who want to sell us their usually useless products.
to 2:52 PM...you ask the question:
ReplyDelete"What kind of a company is Cumulus?
Obviously you haven't been listening to KNBR for the last five years since they bought out Susquehenna Broadcasting (the company that owned KNBR for nearly 17 years).
They didn't have to downsize KNBR as radically as they did with KGO because the staff was much smaller. But they did create a toxic, tense atmosphere at that once venerable station, and it should come as no surprise to local radio listeners who
have been paying only scant attention, that the same thing happened at KGO once Cumulus bought the place.
It's a real shame...but that's corporate radio in the 21st century. No imagination, no soul, and certainly no interest in serving the local community.
Y'all are going to make his little biatch, Joy , foam at the mouth over there at "Park Howard."
