KRON Changes; Monday Starter





Changes at KRON

Some Morning News personnel moves.

Justine Waldman has apparently become a reporter for KRON's evening news. Mark Danon has moved into Waldman's position in the newsroom. James Fletcher has moved into Danon's spot on the main desk. I guess someone's been taking meetings again.




From one of my 1001 Van Ness moles:   KRON is about to unveil a new graphics package. They test ran it for the first 15 minutes of Friday's 5pm newscast. The graphics are full HD and include a weather wing on the left side of the screen. So far, according to my mole, "it looks stupid."

  1. As long as they dont get rid of Janu "looks like she went out Friday night then did a walk of shame into the studio Saturday morning" Arasu I'm good.

    2. Sadly, this is true. Too many a times does she come in clearly hungover in the make-up and clothes from the night before. Now, if she were actually any good at weather, this would be tolerable.

    3. 1248...What do you want her to do, predict 82f and sunny in San Francisco everyday? Would that make her "good" at weather?..lol.

  3. As long as the plunging neckline and boob implants are allowed at KRON?..I will watch. There are good things to woman using sex appeal.
    KGO7,might get my attention for steady and old time banter..but KRON's visuals will stop the surfing-like that!
    If Justine had gotten bigger boobs..she would have seen a bigger paycheck. She brung a A cup to a D cup fight with Darya. Never had a chance.

  5. KRON has been a joke since it lost it's NBC affiliation. I remember when it was one of the better TV stations on the west coast and had a terrific roster of news anchors and reporters and producers.

    Now for the most part you've got dysfunctional amateurs on the air and blundering dip sh....s running the place. As you have just read from the above posts, people no longer watch it for the news, they just turn down the sound and fantasize about the women anchors.

    From what I'm reading, that's probably the core of their audience: a bunch of sex-starved, dim witted clods who wouldn't know what good broadcast journalism was if it came up and bit them in the arse!

  6. That's a shame about losing Justine in the AM. But she'll get some prime time exposure that can help her land a better gig.

    As for the graphics, screw the looks. KRON needs to stop employing interns getting college credits and no money to type the crawls and weather conditions. These irresponsible louts write like English is a second language with the misspellings, wordy sentences, etc. You dolts are in the COMMUNICATIONS business. COMMUNICATE!

  7. Seems that Waldman had gotten sidelined in the morning news slot. Evident that Folsom totally ignored her...wouldn't even say her name for the longest time when Waldman handed the screen back to Folsom.

    Sure hope Waldman fares better in the evening. Would like to think Moore, Heenan et.al will be a lot more collegial than the morning anchor was. (I think they will.)

    1. They will only because they are her mother's age (oh so is Folsom). But who cares. Nobody watches.

    2. Thank you! Thought I was the only one that noticed that.

      Justine seems serious about reporting the news, whereas Darya seems serious about showing us the innovations in cosmetic procedures.

      Hoping Justine stays classy!

  9. The evening news is just as boring. They need to hire younger anchors to attract ypunger viewers. That lead anchor is aging fast. and boing as hell.
