.KTVU anchor, Ken Pritchett was identified as "Ken Wayne" on the 10 O'clock News. It wasn't just a 1 or 2 or 3 or 5 minute flub from the graphics person--it was a good nearly 10 minutes before Pritchett's name was properly inserted onto the screen.
The picture shown here is kind of fuzzy --darn IPhone--but I posted a better one on Twitter if you want to check it out.
saw earlier today they had a "Breaking News" story about a train wreck that happened yesterday. It even said yesterday after the breaking news thing went away. I know this has nothing to do with it, but I was on my way home from work when I tuned into the station "formally known" in the Jetta. I only stopped when I heard Rob A and realizef he was anchor. Almost forgot I hate that station. WTF? Why isn't that guy on more?
ReplyDeleteLet's go cheap. That's what it is. You get what you pay for. Experience and professionalism are no longer respected. Tech generation. That's OK. You'll be next on the firing line. Good luck with that.
ReplyDeleteAmtrak was "Amtrack" earlier in the night
ReplyDeleteOMG, they misspelled "Amtrak"! Unforgivable.
DeleteThis is off topic but as of 12:15am that jerkoff Dave Weintraub is attacking Matress Mannnnnnnnnnn Lowensteinnnnnnnnnnnn. The attack on the spineless one makes Weintraub sound almost likeable, key word "almost"...
ReplyDeleteYou know, Anony 12:18, you riding Owen's ass because he has a Jewish name is so beneath you. OK, you're Anonymous and I honor your right to be for good reason. Many don't like Owens anymore, I'm cool with that. Many, however, still do (I don't.) Ridiculing a guy for his last name which he doesn't use for a reason shows how small a prick you are. Pick on the guy for being an idiot, but not because he's a Jew. Weintraub is every much of a prick as you, but I heard it and can't disagree with you on what he did. However, pick on the guy for his lack of spine and all that, but not because of his religion. Mattress Man? Go for it if that's your kick Otherwise, don't bash him for being Jewish, ok? Troll ...
DeleteHey douchebag @9:04 I'm Jewish so if I choose to refer to Lowenstein by his real last name which happens to be Lowenstein I am an anti-Semite? What's wrong with you? I suppose I need to refer to him by his fake last name to avoid being called an anti-Semite? Can a Jew be an anti-Semite? I'll try not to call Michael Savage by his Jewish last name which is Weiner otherwise you might call the southern poverty law center on me. What an f-ING prick you are! Your spouse must be a saint to put up with you...
DeleteWhen I hear the last name Lowenstein I don't associate it with Jewishness. I associate it with big knockers as in: Shoshana Lowenstein! Yuuumieee
DeleteRich it was even worse on Thursday Night's KTVU 10 pm newscast! Julie Haner read several stories that the other anchor Ken Pritchard instead was supposed to read plus after reading a story Julie starred at the teleprompter without the news story coming out. Julie was clearly flustered that night.
ReplyDeleteThe KTVU prankster must still be running loose in that building. Last month, KTVU's Bay to Breakers story graphics listed "Pubic Intoxication" as one of the reasons for race arrests.
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ. Mistakes happen. It's not the end of the world. Rich clearly doesn't understand how much work goes into putting on a newscast. If he did, he wouldn't get on them about every tiny mistake. It's a live show. Mistakes are bound to happen.
ReplyDeleteNext topic.
Mistakes happen this frequently in high school. At a professional organization, it should not continue to happen as much as it does.
DeleteDelighting is KTVU's minor gaffes is petty and unimportant.
ReplyDeleteIt's the attitude of 802 and 928 that's the root cause of the problem and malaise that's in the business today.
ReplyDeleteLieberman is really reaching, minor flubs at best, says NOTHING about KTVU as a whole.
ReplyDeleteGraphics/ feeds are being done in Texas by the same group doing the traffic, etc. on KGO radio. Note on that...Jane St. Jane seems to be a tad better than the Mary whatever (reincarnation of Dodie Goodman- yeah, am old) that started off doing the feeds.
ReplyDeleteGraphics from Texas? Where did you get your information? I love it when non-journalists (Rich included) who criticize journalists for each and every screw up can't even get their own facts straight (not to mention the bad grammar and bad writing). Most of you wouldn't last a day in any newsroom I've ever worked in-- but then again maybe that's why y'all are here....
Delete6:09, you're here too. Out of work, jackass?
