Things are crazy at KPIX, so I hear from some of the inmates running the asylum...For one thing, the Morning Show is in tatters ...Roberta Gonzales is feuding with just about everybody including Roqui Theus, everyone's favorite traffic reporter...I watched this morning and viewed the equivalent of a ladies Romper Room; the only woman missing was a reincarnation of Miss Nancy.
An all-chick show; Theus, rabble-rouser supreme, Michelle Griego; Gonzales and her crappy, over-sappy weather reports; and pissed-off Anne Makovec, who was filling in for that great recent hire, Mr. Excitement himself, Kenny Choi.

*Another brilliant personnel move: PIX's "I'm trying to be hip", bizarre reporter, Don Ford. Where did this beauty come from? Ford thinks wearing a baseball cap is just so darn cool. ZZZZZ *I thought I pretty much nailed all the local worst radio commercials until I heard, again and again, and again and again, and again, the MORON ASSHOLE who keeps insisting that Bay Area folks join him and "FLIP YOUR HOMES!" --I got something you can flip, schmuck.
*On a serious note, it's about time, the Warriors finally had enough of being second fiddle to Field Marshall Larry Baer's Giants and escaped KNIBBER's Gitmo; courtesy, Tim Kawakami, they're "Gamers" now.
*Tom Tolbert, by the way, has a path to "The Game" now because Tolbert can't stand his co-host, a guy that should be locked up in a Barstow 7-11.
*Cheryl Hurd, a newswoman with Goddess features and exceptional tenacity gets my vote for coolest reporter in the Bay Area. I like the way she combs her hair, ooh!
I like the stylish clothes she wears, boom!
Meet yours truly, hip Jewish rapper.
So if the Warriors are paying KNBR to keep Rudy Fitzgerald on the air and the Warriors are no longer on KNBR... bye bye Rudy. we can only hope.
ReplyDeleteWow...a Hip Jewish Rapper...Slack Rap, a Slack Rap...everybody wants a Slack Rap. I'll buy that for a Shekel!! HOCK!!!
ReplyDeleteFord is going for the "Old Guys Rule' look popular in Socal in the 2000-2010 era. TV weatherman / outdoor gardener Loren Nancarrow popularized that look.
ReplyDeleteHip Jewish rapper? I like it!
ReplyDeleteEast Bay Japs for Trump 2016!
When Frank Mallicoat was anchoring, KPIX was my morning news of choice. Kenny Choi is decent, but lacks any presence whatsoever. Even with Aqui, I watch KGO because Zouves is professional and attractive, Nicco is better than Gonzalez (anybody is), their new traffic person, Alexis Smith, is also attractive and professional and I'm infatuated with Jessica Castro, who's also good. The pros outweigh the cons.
ReplyDeleteHEY, I like ketchup on my hot dog. Scrambled eggs, too!
ReplyDeleteCheryl does a great job on air. She always appears spot on with her delivery.
ReplyDeleteOh, Roberta....she did the same thing when I was there and I witnessed her garbage first-hand. She's threatened by the younger women. She's on the far side of 30 compared to the new traffic lady so, yeah, Berta be ten kinds of mad and jealous and anxious. You should have seen her go after Trish Regan back in the day, it was sickening. And Trish is having the last laugh.
ReplyDeleteFar side...of 30??????????
DeleteYou're waaaaaay off.
I wonder how Ms theus thinks she got the job. Does she think its her great delivery and extensive knowledge of Bay traffic? If i were the staff, I would hate her for making everyone else look bad.
ReplyDeleteShe has no knowledge of Bay Area traffic but I blame management for that one. They hired her!
DeleteRoqui has a bit of a pooch and nothing on top
ReplyDeleteIF I were the game? Adios Tim Roy and hire my own. Not that I have any questions of his quality. Nope,just why would 95.7 keep anybody from KNBR?..other then Dibley,Bruce,and ..ah,never mind. He can stay. lol.
ReplyDeleteLocal sports media is so incestuous. Next thing you know Ann Killion will leave the CHRON for something like Cable offering $2 more.
Loyal!
Tim Roye is employed by the Warriors, not KNBR
Deletethe game is louder but it slips in and out sometimes on the radio. youll have to ''zero in'' on it a few times.hopefully not when the last second basket from Durant to clinch the title...
ReplyDeleteI'll bet Don Ford is bald. The only reason why you see older men wearing baseball caps is to cover up their baldness (unless they're actually playing baseball). He looks out of place on the news, but I want to give the guy a break. KPIX must hire anybody who walks in the door and has a pulse.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right about Cheryl. Good field reporter, should be a prime time anchor. Smart, experienced, smooth, steady ... a real pro.
Let's hope this is the end of Rudy Fitzgerald's reign with the Warriors!
ReplyDeleteI love Cheryl Hurd. She is a solid reporter who someone manages to never age.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing Ann M fill in this morning, she keeps it real and brought a lot more energy to the show. Which is needed, especially in the morning!
ReplyDeleteYou know who panted over Cheryl Hurd when she started? Who on another channel said "She's going to be a big star- you watch".
ReplyDeleteRadnich.
Rudy can not be anywhere near The Game...remember the Greg Papa thing.
ReplyDeleteame
Roqui Theus should have won an Oscar for her role in Like Mike. But, she will never win an Emmy for doing the Bay Area traffic reports until she learns the geography of our local area and pronounces the cities and street names correctly.
