Now, Roberta Gonzales is Sucking Up to Roqui Theus; Inside Story on KPIX's Morning Show Weather Drama; Lots of Auditions; The Skinny From 415 Media

Roberta Gonzales and Roqui Theus

 Now Roberta Gonzales...sensing a sea change in the KPIX Morning Show is kissing up to Roqui Theus --which is amazing in that only a few weeks ago I was told that Countess Roberta was both annoyed and jealous of Theus' growing influence at 855 Battery.

This is all getting rather gooey especially when you consider some details I got from a 415 Media spy.



* The Skinny:

Here is a list of the fill-ins PIX used before Theus was hired:

*Gianna Franco: not enough sparkle, better-suited for radio.

*Elizabeth Wenger: was getting tired of the routine and horrific hours; got pregnant too. Quit.

 

*George Rask: Rask knows the market and knows traffic. Unfortunately, Rask is not as pleasing to the eye as Theus is. It's that simple.

*Sandra Osborne: talented enough but was deemed  unspectacular.

 

*Liza Batallones: didn't do enough to make consideration of permanent hire.

 

 

Obviously, Executive Producer, Brandice Bailey, wanted a woman of color. A smart move only compromised by her inability to assess Theus' obvious inexperience and lack of preparation.

 

Robin Winston and Erica Kato both auditioned. Winston turned down the gig because of the low pay and Kato didn't do very well in her audition from what I've learned.

 

Either way, Bailey wanted to make her mark on the morning show by hiring an attractive, younger woman personality of color.

She got it.

So far, the reviews aren't good but a lot of people are sucking up to the twosome --for now at least.
