MONDAY Dotty ...Dotty...Dotty

*KGO-TV (ABC7) is hearing and reading your blunt criticism of its awful anchor, Dion Lim, yet is still inclined to highlight her on their evening newscasts because they apparently think she has star power. I cannot listen to the woman frankly, the fake voice and looks when she does tosses irritate me. A reader joked that "Lim is Terrilyn Joe Part 2." No actually, that's a disservice to Joe who I actually liked but was major disliked at 900 Front. She had the mouth of a drunken sailor and I'm sure you know about the famous (or infamous) tomatoes and eggs whammy years back...The Michael Wolff Trump book would make for prime red meat fodder at the old KGO --everyone is talking about it, even millennials, who ditched their backpacks and cheap cigarettes to try to buy the book. (Good luck with that) Of course now the "next generation" idiots would much more prefer to ask listeners where they had their first sexual encounter or the history of tofu...The exception, of course, is John Rothmann, the political guru who is too smart for KGO Radio because he has a brain and could have probably written the entire screenplay for "The Post"...again, KGO is too busy selling wacky infomercials and real estate blather. It's a radio carnage...On KCBS, the station that uses Jon Bristow and Megan Goldsby every five minutes (it seems) had morning drive anchor, Susan Leigh Taylor, acting as if she won the lottery with "the RAIN! is here...BUT just wait until later in the afternoon!" Oh my god, rain? Stop the presses. Leigh Taylor drives me nuts lately with her voice too but I'm one cranky bastard lately...Michael Savage had dinner with the President on Christmas Eve at Mar-a-Lago ...Trump to Savage: "I hear you've been hard on me." Savage: "We'll, I dunno, have I ?" That's why, among other reasons I listen to Savage the provocateur because, yes, he has been hard on Trump and is not a right-wing lackey that rubber stamps everything Trump says or does or both....like this schmuck ...and this schmuck too...Many of you despise Savage; I urge you to actually LISTEN to a show (heard on KSFO from Noon-3 PM here and nationally) and hear a magnificent story-teller and downright raconteur. More importantly, Savage is entertaining and unpredictable; a far cry from the usual dreck on current national terrestrial talk radio. Yeah, sorry, I'm a believer...A KTVU phenomenon --revolving anchors all over time slots with no apparent stableness lately. KTVU is still number one in virtually all time slots (except early evenings on occasion) but with significantly less viewers which advertisers know and is scaring the shit out of GM's. It's not only a local issue, it's happening nationally too...Speaking of KTVU, is it just me or do they run a promo every minute? My goodness...Speaking of major irritants: anchors who give the fake look on a serious story. As if they looking and sounding serious gives the story more impact. In fact, they look stupid and phony and trivialize the significance of the story. I don't need a serious look and pause after a murder story. It speaks for itself. Just read the damn story and MOVE ON. What a concept!...Oprah in 2020? A worthy topic on the radio station that used to be legit; instead, they'll be talking about new cheesecake recipes...Seriously, does anyone really care who becomes the new KRON weekend weather maven? I'd rather watch paint dry...I didn't agree a lot with the late Lee Rodgers ...BUT, I listened. Rodgers, in a Savagesque sort of way was just a great broadcaster and interviewer. I tend to agree a lot with Rachel Maddow but I can't watch her anymore. She says the same thing every night and frankly, that bores the hell out of me. I'm in the minority I guess...Hey, did you hear? It's raining. Oh my god, call the authorities!...Yeah, I know, nobody cares about the holiday radio book but if you want proof about how awful KNBR is and only worthy of a Giants' or 'Niners' broadcast, here's proof positive.
