KRON; KGONE Radio; Local TV Wars; Raddy; The Monty and Monday 415 Media Minutiae



KRON, I enjoy feedback from your interns and house guppies, but please, really, get your house in order before your Van Ness trolls start lecturing me.

Lovely that you're now hd--swell, infomercials in spectacular vision. Now if you can just get your management in order.

*The Monty guy on KGOne radio is not worth the effort. He gets "good guests?" In this day and age anyone will do a phoner on 50,000 watts even if 28 people are listening. Monty is a shouter. A screamer who thinks he's the 2000's version of Art Linkletter. He's a Paul Hosely special: he'll work cheap and appeal to the younger demo that KGONE thinks they are going to nail, (meanwhile did you see your cume, Hosely, Jared?) Yeah, right now, KGONE, you've essentially become irrelevant. You officially KSFOed KGO. Those call letters are mush. They're about as sanguine as a Brian Sussman lecture on clean air. And as long as I breathe, I will never back down and will always expose your trash and crap you've heaved upon the Bay Area airwaves. By the way, that NY female comic you threw a hundred bucks at to piss off the last 10 people listening? That's just bad even by your measly standards.

**MEDIA NOTES...Dana King is not only one of the best TV journalists, but a very nice, cool person, well-liked by her peers, her co-workers and colleagues. In today's biz, that says a lot...I didn't hear Christine Craft's first hour on the albatross station the other night, but her interview of one of Ross Mirkarimi's ex-gf's was supposedly revealing and compelling radio, which on KGONE means you're a sub on call...To relegate Stacy Taylor as fill-in and use a no-talent, unfunny, NY hack female comic should mean you have to watch Rosie on the Oprah Winfrey Network--Oh, wait....Radnich MO: I'm damn insecure if someone much better and cheaper is on my heels. Shall we go back in time? Try Pete Liebengood and Tom Nettles. And Gary, I can't figure out who kisses more ass, you or Krueger. And tell Larry that Baer and company are quite pleased with student Krueger's brown-toilet paper act with the Giants. Come to think of it, the callers know the difference too. They understand it's been called the "Felipe Alou-rule", and Krueger gets it. After all, 'yous all have family to feed....Kate Scott update: will tweet for past issues of Cosmo...Speaking of tweets, Dan Dibley, that phenomenal master of social-media supposedly wants to come back to the sports bleeder. I'd rather get water-boarded by Janet Reno...Tierney on 95.7 FM, The Game: They hated you in NY, sure, but at least you mattered, (somewhat). Now, not only do you not matter, but really, nobody gives a crap. See, Tierney, before you can shout and scream, you at least have to know the room. For god's sake, you've been here for about ten minutes and don't know the neighborhood. It's not your fault, it's the PD, who is now updating his own resume and looking at condo's in Dallas. And those ratings? Whew!, that's worthy of an appearance on "Chronicle Live" to scream with lcal yenta, Ann Killion...Jim Kozimor: talk about a guy who says absolute NOTHING. But he's clean, dresses well and knows how to say, "Thanks Chris", (Olivere)...KGO-TV and KPIX at 6 PM: Our first battle royale in some time. As long as you all keep it civil. And for whatever it's worth: A slight edge to PIX at 6, although Dan Ashley and Dan Noyes are sprucing up the numbers at circle7.

  1. Why do you always use the word "female", as in "unfunny female comic", in a derogative sense?

    You never use the word "female" when praising, as in "Dana King...best female TV journalists".

    Best to be consistent, otherwise you come off as misogynistic again.

    1. After this past weekend's crepfest on KGOne -- you could really use the "unfunny female" moniker for Karel. Too many husbands for him. What a sleeze.

      Uninformative, unentertaining and totally irrelevant.

      His bashes against Christine Craft, who I'd be surprised to here they've even known each outside of KGOne was uncalled for on Sunday night, unprofessional, stupid and without fact.

      I'd love to see Karel in a locked room with Tim Montemayor. That would be fun to watch.

      Happy anniversary, KGOne, for keeping that moron around until he totally self-destructs on your airwaves.

      I bet the sun-powered 50,000 watt blowtorch of a transmitter for "80-80-810" moans and says "Oh ... it's you again" when these tools are on the radio. Mostly Karel.

  2. Dibley himself says that Lee Hammer told him he cant come back. But,others always say Hammer is a puppet. I would agree he wants to come back if THEGAME folds. And hearing the rise guys and Raddy ripping Mark Sanchez is just subliminal racism. Why?..because I know there are many -too many to list- worst QB's in the NFL that mnever get a mention from loca media..I think if Sanchez were black,Radnich wouldnt say a derogatory word,and Kreuger then of course would keep his yap shut. And the point of my saying this? Ratings..these very same shows have ratings sinking like a rock and the PD at both stations dont get it..NO DIVERSITY.cause those stupid opinions..causes a Jeremey Lin or Sanchez-local cultural heros- to be pissed on.
    They dont get it at KNBR or the Game or Castlewood country club...

    3. The Mark Sanchez that is from the Orange County bastion of conservatism and wealth, Mission Viejo? The one who only dates white starlets, models and 17 year old white girls?

      Usually coconuts aren't cultural heroes.

  3. I know ya'll don't like Dibs... I beg to differ... I'd rather hear a 9-noon with Radnich, P-Con (BTW-a cool cat... proud white southerner but having talked to him, has given this brotha NO indication that he's a racist. Just a country boy from the north bay by way of 'Bama) and Dibley than what's on now- I think it would be a good show. Dibs and Patrick know how to roll with Gary and Dibs can reel him in when he strays too far. As it is now, I RARELY listen to KNBR after KNBR got scurred by the FM station and made (stupid) wholesale changes. Radnich, Dibs, Bruno and Ray Woodson were appointment radio. If Dibs went back, I'd tune in more often

    1. Oh,I dont know about that..He did once rant that Obama "was a sissy"..and other derogatory remarks. I then posted that since he considrs himself a proud former ji-rine,He should know you never talk about the commander in chief like that ..especialy a when your a public figure on 50,000 watts.
      Well-to his credit, he did apologize.

  4. The comings and going s of bay area media figures is like (as it always has been) watching a carousel a people jumping on and off stations, stations moving folks around, and the new names popping up.

    A whole bright, exciting new crop of talented youngsters has now suddenly emerged, and they've energized the local media.

    In local radio sports, you have people like Dibbs, Townsend, Bernstein, P-Con, Kate Scott and Damon Bruce who are getting a bigger profile. Some of them have a lot to say and are very good and have a bright future, others....well....let's not be too harsh just yet...they're just getting started and listeners and media critics in the SF market aren't very forgiving!

    1. In the words of John McEnroe, "You CAN'T be serious?!" 'An exciting new crop of talented youngsters?'
      Child please.

  5. And-Is Montemayor going to admit he's Latino or do we have to keep guessing? His main power base seems to be Chicago,Los Angeles and ..here. Three areas with huge Latin populations.
    And if so-so much for the stereotype that Latins are all democrats. Some of the fiercest right winger South American dictators have plenty of equal minded types here in the good old USA.

    1. Timoteo Monteminor is horrible. He has to rank as one of the worst talk show hosts in KGO history along with the NY chick and Jose Hughes. I could see Monteminor as a Latin American dictator in the mold of Noriega.

  6. How did 95.7 get the Ncaa Baseketball and Nfl package on Westwood one away from Knbr. Was it 95.7 made an $$ offer that was better than knbr. Or did knbr just not want it anymore seems odd they changed stations to one with less coverage.

  7. I agree with 1:30PM. I believe that the new sports announcers you hear on local radio today are wonderful young talents who have shown a lot of creativity. I especially like Dibley (he's funny!) and Kate Scott (she's sexy!), but that ex-soldier from the south, P whatever you call him may be the best of the bunch! I'd listen to the three of them if they were on a show together. Now that WOULD be appointment radio!
