KRON is mired in mediocrity and 5th-tier status in the market --has been for many years with a workforce in perpetual siege mentality and a boorish News Director who rules by fear and intimidation.
KRON, on the other hand, does have some appealing anchors; they're largely ignored but they stand out because of brains and beauty.
There's the ageless wonder, Vicki Liviakis. I don't know how Liviakis does this but she gets better looking as she ages. It's a remarkable formula.
Pam Moore is also another middle-aged KRON anchor whose looks seem to be getting more hot as she enters her later stages in life. More than just a pretty face, Moore, like Liviakis, is one smart and sexy lady.
As we talk about KRON's hottie anchors, we can't leave out the great, Catherine Heenan --as graceful and charming as ever.
I think Rich is trying to be complimentary, but this comes off as insulting.
ReplyDeleteYep.
DeleteKRON is relevant because we, the viewers think they're relevant, & these Christine Craft lookalikes have nothing to do with it. They all look hideous.
ReplyDeleteOf course you have a face only a mother could love, Henry.
DeleteAgreed. All three smart, good looking and competent. Pam Moore would have been great with Somerville tho. IMO
ReplyDeleteYou left out bolt-ons
ReplyDeleteHey 9:14,
ReplyDeleteHow is complimenting these women (who are 40+) on their looks insulting? They are attractive and not "plastic-looking" like VDLC, NZ, and some of the other recent additions made by the other local news teams.
Don't get all PC on us here. There is far too much of that and not enough people with balls enough to say what Rich says on a daily basis.
"middle aged" and "entering her later stages of life".
DeleteDon't ever recall these phrases to describe a male talking head. You?
"Entering the later stages of life?" How about Vin Scully? They've said that for the past 25 years or so about him.
DeleteI also can''t think of a guy who fits the term "talking head" more than Vinnie.
Vin is 88. Nice try.
Delete@10:51
ReplyDeleteIt's possible that 9:41 is referring to the fact that they're tagged "middle-aged" while neither Natasha Zouves or Heather Holmes would be referred to as "stunning youngsters."
Try Barely Legal
DeleteHell ya! They're smart, attractive and credible -- unlike Natasha Fatale on ABC7 and Veronica the Princess on CBS5.
ReplyDeleteYou mean Natasha Fat-ale?
DeleteWhy bring age into it? Attractive (though subjective) is attractive.
ReplyDeleteThey all kinda look like a "Mavis" to me.
ReplyDeleteI'd hit it.
ReplyDeleteSerious? Are they middle-aged? Is the 60's new 40's now?
ReplyDeleteBecause of the Earth rotation, there is a "heavenly body" that comes into view only on Saturday and Sunday mornings. That "heavenly body" is Lisa Argen. I have given her the acronym...WAW, What A Woman! They should rearrange the Universe so that this "heavenly body" comes into view more frequently!!
ReplyDeleteLisa is GREAT. I worked with her when she first came to the Bay Area. She is such a normal, down to earth and sweet person. None of the ego or pretense that you see with most on air talent.
DeleteI think Rich is just phoning it in this AM....
ReplyDeleteI certainly are with Henry. Cate, Pam, Vicki and Darla are as or better than anyone in the Market. Whats sad is that "other programing" feeds news shows. Without the NBC package which is no the best, folks deserted KRON when it went indie and the news was the Big Loser. George Rask and the rest of crew do a credible job.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Cheryl Jennings..?
ReplyDeleteAt the BOTOX clinic.
DeleteThat was exactly my first thought!
DeleteGeorge Rask is the human chia pet these days.
ReplyDeleteKRON went into a steady decline 14 years ago when Vince Young won the bidding from the DeYoung family over powerful GE/NBC Universal,which then bought channel 11 and took the NBC affiliation with them.
ReplyDeleteRich loves those Cougars.
ReplyDeleteI had the hots for Belva Davis. Still do!
Indeed, these three women are consummate professionals and very good at what they do... but since we are on KRON and you mentioned 'hottie' how the hell do you leave Justine Waldman off your list? ..maybe she isn't middle-aged by your standard, but hottie and a good anchor she definitely is. C'mon Rich, you're slippin' (said with a smile).
ReplyDeleteReally though KRON, it's time to dump Darya and her fake ballons and put Justine in as the full time weekday morning anchor. Folsom is just so bad I can't watch KRON in the morning.. I've felt sorry for Mark all these years.
Idk...I always felt that Pam Moore would have been great, and a better fit on KTVU ch.2.
ReplyDeleteI'll agree that Vicki and Catherine are hotties but Pam? She's a great anchor but falls short in the MILF category for me. I know Rich is not a Roberta fan but she's got that something. Maybe it's the tequila twinkle in her eye or the double entendres but I enjoy watching. The only thing she needs to do is go back to wearing those psuedo-BDSM outfits she had when doing the evening news.
ReplyDeleteCatherine Heenan a hottie? There goes my lunch. She belongs more in the GILF category.
DeleteI'd add Pam Cook to this list. She rarely gets mentions here but I think she is freaking hot as a middle aged woman on KTVU in the mornings. She has "Walnut Creek soccer mom MILF" written all over her.
ReplyDeleteLieberman's views on woman go back to the dark ages. No big surprise that he's unattached.
