*KPIX Make-Up Dept. to Veronica De La Cruz: "Tone it down."She has.
*I inadvertently gave PIX high marks for doing well in the May sweeps but I misread the data--they really sucked air at 11 PM and Night Beat is on life machine at 10 PM on its CW station.
*Once again, PIX has NO identity. The revolving anchor thing ain't working either. Sounds to me like a leader is needed. (Hello, Mr. Cohen?)
*KGO-TV #1 at 11 PM. No inter-office memos needed to ask reporters to "move around the camera during live shots."
*Christina Loren is not the only on-air person who occasionally looked for job postings on the Internet.
*A good bet: Brian Flores replacing Mike Mibach on KTVU Weekend MO2 --just a hunch.
*More PIX opining: Although Anne Makovec loves the quietness of weekend anchoring she'd be great during the week. It takes a bold move to do something radical like that but unfortunately D.R. doesn't have that pedigree.
*Hey Dennis O'Donnell: Could you be a little more smug? Holy teleprompter!
*Oxymoron to the max: They're going to roast the ex-PD, Jason Barrett (soon to be departing 95.7 FM) at Cobb's Wednesday night. Gees, I can't wait. How many tickets did the promotions dept. give away? (Alert the interns and their families).

I mentioned that KRON more then any other station has tried new things,Studio,specials,Radnich in spring training and now stands and more. I think that Pam Moore is resisting having a co anchor like all the other higher rated channels. I also am of the opinion that Pero would like to sit Grant Lodes next to her. Those tosses to him by Moore are awkward. But,Pero likes the guy to keep doing that.
ReplyDeleteSo,it has to be Moore who doesn't want change. You would think if KRON wanted to make money..
I'd Grant some Loads to Erica or Jacqueline. Shame KRON is unwatchable now. How an idiot like Pero keeps his job is unfathomable.

It's amazing how much men can miss a potted plant because it has large breasts.
DeleteMy potted plant/breast comment was supposed to standalone in response to Rich's post and not a response to this comment where it makes no sense.
Delete8:41 PM, FUN FACT: Both potted plants and breasts look better when pushed together, so worry if your comments were posted out of order.
DeleteThe biggest story about May ratings is not KGO at 11pm.- The big buzz is just how far and fast KTVU is falling everywhere except 10pm. 20%-30% declines in Feb AND May.
ReplyDeleteI think that happens temporarily in the beginning in all the markets where they start up.
ReplyDeleteWho would go to a roast for a person who is not even known? Not sure I would go even if I got free tickets.
ReplyDeleteWho would choose a roast for a failed radio PD over game 5 of warriors-rockets? Even The Game's employees won't show up.
DeleteFOX cannot be happy with how much ratings have fallen at KTVU and how fast.
ReplyDeleteThey went out if their way to f**k it up. I watch mostly KGO except a bit of KTVU in the morning then go to cable. As soon as one of those lying Fox news correspondents comes on I change the channel. Where do these morons think they are? Texas? Florida?
DeleteA the vaunted Bay Area celebration of diversity is on exhibit at 8:37.
DeleteWhy do I love the Bay Area? Well, the food is great, the landscape is beautiful, but most of all I love the TOLERANCE!!!!! ;-)

Speaking of PIX...
ReplyDeleteCook worked with Allen Martin at 11 PM last night, and she was noticeably more serious throughout that entire newscast.
Gil Gross may not be the best joke teller , like eva', but this afternoon, I heard him interviewing actor Paul Reisner (Mad About You) on the air. Gil's remarks and quips were much funnier than Paul's. In fact, I started to think maybe Reisner is like the typical tv actor who can't find his left side elbow without a script and teleprompter.
ReplyDeleteThat Mad About You guy was never funny. Annoying? Yes. Funny? Not even close...
DeleteI thought he was funny in Diner and My Two Dads.
