Last Day Of The Month Items; KPIX Sweeps; NightBeat Disaster; KRON Too Close Camera Shots; Blogger 'Authority'

*It's not so much disturbing that KPIX had a bad February book--it happens to the best. The problem with PIX is that they have so many issues to deal with on ALL their platforms. The bad chemistry in the afternoon: Cook vs. Martin and Deannu. The viewers know there's bad blood (thanks to this site) and it's pretty evident someone has to go. Who? That's a decision for management --maybe it's not Dan Rosenheim's call here; maybe it's time Bruno Cohen, the mysteriously hidden GM who seems to be content living in his office. After all, Cohen was brought in because the last guy didn't lead either.

*NightBeat, shall I say it again? IS.A.DISASTER. It has no pulse. It has no being. It is an insult to the viewing public. There's no there, there. 22 minutes of virtual dead air and OMG, weather guys with their ties off!--how damn revolutionary --that'll bring the millennial crowd in! Please people, give it a rest. The show SUCKS! And Ms. De La Cruz? I had so many hopes for you but you seem more interested in the hair than the headlines. And GAME ONNNNN? Are you serious? A one-legged hooker in Fargo wouldn't watch that crap. You want a legit news show? Do something radical, PIX: One anchor, 22 minutes of content and to hell with your stupid gimmicks --that would be serious TRENDING!

*Welcome to BLOGGER AUTHORITY!

*Memo to KRON: The Uber-CLOSE-UP shot of Pam Moore looks terrible. Moore is a nice-looking TV anchor but when the camera is too close and you can see Moore's facial veins (thanks, InsideCableNews) it makes her look terrible--back off and go to the traditional shot.

*Excuse me, have to go--time for my taped financial shows on the mighty 810 AM.

    Who the F*cK is Larry Roberts? I admit, I'm not a sports fan most the time, but sometimes I will listen to KGO 810 as background noise. At least their not trying to sell me vitamins. This particular sportscaster has got to be the most annoying sports voice on the radio. Larry does not speak, he yells, with what sounds like a mouthful of Cole Slaw salad. He curses over nothing, just for the sake of dropping certain words.
    i.e. "What THE HELL was he doing in the last half of the game?!!!"
    Any chance Larry may be replaced soon? Or are ALL the Sports Casters typically this way?

      He is Larry Olson, who also works for Total Traffic/Clear Channel/Heart. Long ago, employees were warned not to work at KGO because the station had dropped their traffic reports. Wonder if corporate knows..

    Well,Deanno could wear a tux,hold a martini glass and slur "Everybody loves you sometimes" That would be a good idea.
    Did you see Radnich in his "ethnic" vacation shirt on the news? He said it was ridiculous. Why argue?
    Pam Moore is getting a little shaky doing the news. The pressure of trying to stay young looking? She's blonder by the day.
    The best thing about local media? None of them are in my kitchen. An old 'Cheers' joke that never gets old...

    I've never sensed any bad chemistry between the anchors on KPIX.

      You must be watching the radio version; we're talking TV.

    On behalf of all the one-legged hookers in Fargo, we agree Rich. And please don't ask us for a job Veronica when they tell you GAMEOFFFFFFFF at PIX.

    To The Management of KPIX:
    Why can't we get a full hour of "Face The Nation?" You have had a few years to fix it.

    KRON still has technical issues. They came out of break without a graphics open to Pam Moore holding a mirror to her face and brushing her hair. Ugh. Yeah, the camera is too close. They're doing it to Vicki on the weekends to. But not Darya. I can think of two reason why Darya gets an exemption...take a flying guess...

    Not sure where to post this but Orrin Keepnews, jazz producer & historian, has died at age 91. KTVU not only didn't know who he was but wasn't really interested. Keepnews was local. Why do we even have local news.
