NBC Bay Area's Mathai on Mark Matthews Hire

Mark Matthews knows the way to San Jose

  Mark Matthews, an experienced political reporter who was let go by KGO-TV last October will be joining NBC Bay Area, as I indicated earlier. He begins his duties Monday.


I reached out to Raj Mathai down in San Jose, NBC BA's lead anchor for his reaction.


"We're thrilled to add another experienced and high caliber reporter. Mark's local and national connections are invaluable."

  1. That's two former KGO guys NBC Bay Area picked up in a little over a year; Terry McSweeney the other. Add Janelle Wang-that's a lot of talent to lose.. Now Carolyn Johnson leaves. I don't get it...

  3. Why is Rich Lieberman so late in reporting Aldon Smith's latest legal skirmish? Is he conspiring with cover this up?

  4. Karel is self-medicating for all the world to see. Called RICH an A-hole at 7:48 on his stream loud and clear. After toking, he wants to ban busses, the 2nd Amendment and have the National Guard go door to door to get all gunes. He also doesn't like that 20 kids were hurt in a knife attack and got no publicity (?????) and today, some "70 year old a-hole shot 3 Jews to death and it's top news."

    Jeez, Piers Morgan must be rolling over in a nightmare.

    Last night, the guy says loud and clear during a break, "Somebody went to Ron (the PD) and demanded that I get fired. He told me 'I don't work for her.' but I know they want me fired. I've been there."

    He is toking some good shit, for sure.

    1. 9:04 iamkarel: passover. is that where the narcissicist murder decided to get mad and kill all the first born male children except those that slaughtered a poor beast and then spread it's blood all over their door?
      9:04 iamkarel: Or am I thinking of a horror movie?
      9:06 SongSpirit: LOL, Karel
      9:06 SongSpirit: You could look at it that way I suppose.
      9:07 SongSpirit: I see it a bit differently...
      9:07 SongSpirit: but that's okay :

      What a schmuck, as Rich would say. Karel is such a douche. Nice that he promotes his stuff for everone, including his boss, to see. What a creep.

    1. KGOne has found another Monty Montemayor. Jim Daniels following the flamer tonight. This guy sucks major. Spencer Hughes is laughing all the way to the bank listening to this. Maureen Hangin' w/Langan must be smiling. What is going on over there?

  7. Rich where art thou? Another 49er is in hot water and you are nowhere to be found.

  8. I have a really hard time listening to that guy due to his strong lisp. I honestly don't know how someone makes it that far in such a career with such an awful articulation issue.

    1. I think if he separated his teeth when speaking the lisp would disappear.

  9. That guy is Monty reborn. Loud, arrogant and angry. Christine must have freaked over his 30 minute rant on "big dogs" as if he was taunting her. When KGO bypasses Christine on a Sunday night for this loon you know things must be bad on Hawthorne. They are obviously shooting for the perception of youth with no talent. There is no care in choosing talent there. Even Karel got upset being told when to air the pre-done KGO app spot. Mentioning that app for "PPM rules" at certain times is more important than content. So what does he do? He plays the spotover his music, then comes back and does a 30 second spot live about his own web app his is the most important thing going. Confusing, juvenile and no priority. His hypocrisy is nothing short of amazing. Offensive. Is there no preparation at KGO now? What a wreck. I'm wondering if this had to do with the observing of Passover. Maybe that's why some "talent" is not available, including Rich.

    Also, how stupid to waste all night on KGO with Bloomburg news with New York ads, New York sports only, New York time, etc. The end of AM radio as we know it..
