With Rosenthal Gone in Boston, Is Raponi Next?; Giants 'On Assignment' Crap is Crappy; Roberta Gonzales' Sappy Sap on KCBS; KCBS Now 'KCBKGO'; Hey, Some SF Anchor is Looking For Some Action; Thursday Rundown

 THURSDAY RUNDOWN

Wonder Boy --Lee Rosenthal--the ex-KTVU ND who split town and headed to Boston's WFXT was blown out recently.

The next transaction and you read it here first: Tom Raponi, the GM also in Boston is about to get his walking papers.

*The Giants broadcast team using the term, "on assignment", for someone taking a few days off would be cute every now and then--in Boise.

The on assignment drivel is now an embarrassment that sounds stupid and cheesy --only the booster club would approve it and they don't count.

*Roberta Gonzales continues to embarrass herself and by extension, KCBS, with her overly sappy, phony, patronizing, shtick on her 7: 20 Weather wrap --it's condescending too and I'll harp on it forever because the listeners are getting sick of it too.

Roberta Gonzales
Roby, just give the darn weather report and laugh a little less. It's getting a little old.

*The joke in Media Gulch near Broadway and Battery: industry wags calling KCBS "KCBKGO"--the tag referring to all the ex-KGO news reporters and anchors suddenly on KCBS.

Jon Bristow, Jennifer Hodges, Scott Lateri, Kevin Radich, just to name a few.

KCBS big suit, Jack Swanson, of course used to be captain KGO so I'm not surprised here.

*Morning shows, hell, almost all shows need time and some seasoning but you also have to program with the intention of believing in something, I mean, really believing in in with conviction.

KPIX's tried and tattered morning meandering mush is a disaster.

It looks as if Daffy Duck directs it.

*The afternoon-drive doofus who likes to talk about his penis has already pissed off one of the femme fatales at Knibber ...much sooner than I expected. What a prick!

*Update on KGO-TV's new set: a staffer says "the next few days." Can hardly wait.

  2. KPIX is a disaster right now in the mornings. I am sure that Roqi is the worst reporter ever hired in this market. 4am traffic is not difficult.

  3. Does FOX just have great intuition when it hires conservative reporters? Or do they just plain come out and ask?
    Because the new guy co hosting with Gassia -who is all smiles- is a bit intense. She did a story of some gender equality good news,he came back with no smile and a grunt. LOL.
    I cant find his name on the KTVU website. But,he's that guy.

    1. Great hire. They need to put a real man in there next to the PC pudding pops they have now.

  5. What is going on at FOX2 with their anchors? It seems to me that Frank and Julie are rotating with Ken and Heather at the 10:00 news.

  6. Last night I was watching KRON with Viki and Lodes. Introducing the weather Viki say's "Speaking of weather change,Brittney Spears will, "Oh (she caught herself) Brittney Spears?..." with eyes rolling. The KRON Britt laughed and said "I should have a comeback for that. It happens all the time. Maybe dance?".
    I like Viki,but she has a strong dingy side. Strong.

  7. About the attention whore Roberta Gonzales, thank you Rich.
    I like the new guy on KPIX mornings, but I can't stand this woman when she throws the attention onto herself. So, I desert to another channel.
    She acts like she is the show everybody waits to see, NOT me.
    Get Lost, Ms. Roberta!



    Why can't this

    1. I agree - the whole tenor of the show changes when Gonzales does her schtick. I bet if you asked her, she'd say she gives the show some "life," but her act is extremely disconcerting and throws off the whole tone of the rest of the newscast.

  8. Is Roberta given free reign to say what she wants? Or is someone else pulling the strings and giving her directions since she does need to answer to management.

  9. For the life of me, I just can't understand how Roberta hakes been able to keep her job as long as she has. It's all about her. Report the weather and and get off. Talk about a cat with nine lives. They need to part company with her once and for all.

  10. I remember the good old days when Roberta would stick to the basics -- explaining at great length to the fawning Stan and Susan her training regimen for her next triathlon. "Wow, how do you DO it?"

  11. So all of the PIX Morning crew are deth-picable?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Yeah,I remember back in the day reading profiles on dating sites. Travel,wine,the best concerts,etc,etc,etc.
    Not one of the beauty's said "Can take the simple cost effective coupon clipping,subcompact car,big dog hanging his head out of the window life". Not one!

  13. Speaking of exKGO personalities, Jennifer Jones Lee is thriving on KFI in La La land. Catch her starting at 5AM M-F. That's my commentary on Bay Area radio - it's so bad that I look to KFI and WABC in NY for radio that engages my mind.

    1. Walt, thanks for the info on Jennifer Jones Lee. I've been wondering where she is and can get her on my Echo. Also I'll check WABC out because I'm desperate for interesting radio.

  14. Peckerwood Lund the other day was creaming his pants cackling like a school girl goading Tolbert about his "Shaft". It was the most sophomoric, amateurish, unfunny display by that clown who clearly is not only obsessed with pricks but an example of sociopathic arrested development. He can't be dumped soon enough.

  15. I been watching KPIX for many years and I agree that traffic and weather are the worst reporting on record. Shame on management!!!
