  2. They must not be real pirates because it sure sounds like they have given up...and are walking the plank.

  3. Don't you have to have a boat first before you worry about the rudder?

    1. KTVU's ship was sunk by pirates and its crew struggled to stay afloat.

  4. The worst part is - its not a dip. It's Fox and as long as FOX is owner thus it will always be.
    Goodby Charlie and Humphrey,Captain Satellite..Creature Features!.

    1. I know, I've commented on the same thing. Now I want to see Steve Paulson as an anchor and Dave Clark doing the Traffic Authority.

    2. Replacing Sal with anyone is not a bad idea. Sal will have a place in the bay area Hall of Errors.

      I think that management at KTVU has closed a money loop hole by not replacing Claudine Wong. OK; here is my reasoning. Claudine is on PAID vacation. Rosemary is on the clock and so is the other guy who sits at the desk. By having Rosemary do the weather and the news saves having to pay someone else to come in to replace Claudine. THE SAME MONEY IN DIFFERENT POCKETS. The cost of producing the show remains the same.

      Standby to witness other money saving acts from not only KTVU buy other stations as well. Just wait until the news is done by robots. How many people have been replaced by ATM's and self check grocery machines?

      This is only the beginning.

    3. @11:17 That makes no sense at all. Most of KTVU's on-air talent is NOT paid by the hour. They're paid on a contract salary. It makes no difference to KTVU who comes in and reads the news. Personally, I think hourly pay would kill KTVU's budget with all the overtime. Just have KTVU staff work a shitload of hours without worrying about paying overtime.

    4. Mr. or Mrs. 6:41PM I am sorry that my comments are over your head. I don't have the time to explain things.

  7. Lazy-ass Mark Ibanez is still cashing his checks and laughing all the way to the bank. How many hours a day does he work? Two? "And that's the sporting life!" What a joke!

    1. Ageed. That is why she bought some sexier clothes and got the pay raise.
