The edict came from the top.
More heels, more skirts, fewer wrinkles. It's worked at Fox, with former San Francisco D.A. Kimberley Guilfoyle successfully sitting in the "leg" chair at Fox and Friends. Did it work in the Bay Area?
Sort of.
KRON is the big winner. Her boyfriend manager has convinced Darya Folsom to limit her weight and paycheck for seven hours of billable air time.
KNTV (NBC Bay Area) is the big loser. Hired sexpot Christina Loren only to dump her for a lightweight. The morning numbers have never recovered. Newly minted ND Stephanie Androuny is already on the hot seat.
KPIX's Roberta Gonzales ran marathons to keep her stilettos in play for two decades. It worked until she blurted out, " I was on a Delta boat going 125 miles an hour" last summer and tossed a few weeks later. (Figuratively speaking)
KTVU is a work in progress. Rosemary Orozco can dazzle but had trouble ad libbing during the North Bay fires. She and traffic anchor Sal Castaneda also share crowns as newsroom divas.
Well I NEVER
ReplyDeleteYou should. It's fun.
DeleteKNTV screwed the pooch on mornings. Dumping Loren because she looked "too hot." Keeping Garcia-Cannon who has more legal headaches than O.J. Its bone head upper management.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for the Melania skyrise heels to be the newswoman fashion.
ReplyDeleteKimberley G.? She sounds like she just got out of Orange County High School. Pouts on air. How did she get a law degree???
She's a cold woman. No wonder Gavin dumped her.
She got her law degree by going to a third-rate law school that accepts anybody.
DeleteIt's curious that you didn't show KPIX's Thunder Thighs.
ReplyDeleteRosemary and too many reporters exposes themselves too much. For what??? Ratings, get more attention or finding love.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the remark about Roberta Gonzales. I know you hate her & are glad she's gone, but what's a 125 MPH boat on the Delta got to do with her departure?
ReplyDeleteShe forgot she had called in "sick" that day!
DeleteOh, goodie! More discussions about women's weight and wardrobe and bodies! Fits nicely with the week's headlines.
ReplyDeleteI still miss Christina Loren and agree to your comment about her replacement.
ReplyDeleteHo-hum...c'mon Rich, more meat less potatoes. We want dirt I tell ya....dirt !!
ReplyDeleteIf Rosemary Orozco asks you to move out of her way? Then get the hell out of her way, or answer to me. Thats the way it is. Right Rosemary? wink.
ReplyDeleteShe's so pretty.
Was watching KPIX 11p Friday night. Liz Cooke with Veronica De La Cruz (filling in for Ken Bastida) anchoring, Betty Yu at the debrief desk, Andria Borba with a live shot. Didn't see any men until Paul Deanno did the weather. A refreshing change(no disrespect to Bastida). Concentrated on solid newscasting rather than looks, I think many could learn from this.
ReplyDeleteBastida could be replaced by a sack of potatoes and there'd be no loss.
DeleteI barely watch KNTV anymore once they let Christina Loren go. I pretty much just watch KTVU now, Heather and Rosemary.
