AT KPIX5*Uncertainty fuels newsroom; 'rudderless ship' --longtime staffer: "there's no direction here."
*Flock of new, cheap, mostly out-of-town reporters who have no clue of Bay Area locale and culture. Working on fumes and they just started! No direction.
*News Director that is out of touch.
*Still no "Face of the Station" anchor --right people in the wrong places. Staffer: "Goodrich (Juliette) should be a Monday-Friday anchor, not wasted on the weekend."
*Veronica De La Cruz experiment a virtual dud --and they're paying her LOTS of money. Hasn't moved the meter at all. Still exploring NY, according to sources.
*Ken Bastida prestige sinking faster than the Titanic! "Still can't ad-lib if his life depended on it," says newsroom vet.
*Allen Martin: Someone at Black Rock: "That's your guy?"!!
*NY watching (again)
*Developing story...
Goodrich is a standout at PIX.
ReplyDeleteYeah, stands out as an airhead. Talk about inability to ad-lib. Her responses to Brian Hackney are usually panicked silence. Weekday anchors @ 5, 6 & 11 are solid IMHO. Thought Rich was in love with Da Lin and Christin Ayers. Betty Yu is an SF native who after journo school brushed up on her TV chops at Ohlone College. Seems pretty local to me.
DeletePerhaps it's polite silence. If I had to share the anchor desk with that creepy bastard, I too would be biting my tongue.
DeleteHackney’s their guy. They’re just too stupid to know it.
ReplyDeleteWhat would be your news "Dream Team" if you could pick four from any local station? Two anchors, one weather and one sports.
ReplyDeleteHackney is a smug prick. I heard from an employee at KPIX some of the people behind the camera want to actually start crying it's such a crappy work environment.
ReplyDeleteBottom line: Rosenheim doesn't care about any of it..collecting a paycheck only..I think the stress got to be too much for him and he zombied out. Come on-- the CBS big shots came through--saw nothing wrong and gave him a free pass.
