KPIX has issues across the board; a lot of waning anchors and misplaced, misguided reporters; a slew of internal problems; a huge clusterphuck in the morning; issues upon issues upon...well, you get the idea. Now they (PIX) appear on the verge of making what could be a bold move and one which makes sense: moving evening weather anchor, Paul Deanno to fulltime news.Deanno has done news before so it isn't like he's invading foreign territory. Moreover, he's highly respected at the station and is a solid performer all around, I'm sure it would probably work and work well. There's no word yet whether Deanno would be fulltime news or a hybrid like Brian Hackney who does both. I'm hoping Deanno would be fulltime because he has great presence and news acumen. This is a good move if it happens but again, right now, it's only in the talking stages.
It should be an all-hands up yes by the powers-that-be at PIX; an experiment that has my vote which is the only thing that counts.
P.S. the last sentence was a joke but in reality, more true then ever.
Good call, KPIX, good call Rich.
ReplyDeletePaul, you da man!
This would open up a spot for the lovely Rose. Im sure am evening weather spot would look great on her resume.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea...PIX needs help.
ReplyDeletethey should get Jessica as vet lead in the am
ReplyDeleteshe is a pro knows entire Bay area too
This is a no brainer. Quit talking and have Deanno sign on the dotted line. A ratings boost would soon follow.
ReplyDeleteAgree on Deanno. Make sure Goodrich gets a bigger role again. And if PIX surprises us by adding Aguirre, it would be a great talent mixing problem any station would love to have.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to promote Paul Deanno. He would be a asset and work very well with Jessica Aguirre. Hope they get it done.
ReplyDeletePIX appears to be trending in the right direction while KGO rapidly continues trending downhill. This move, and signing Orozco, would certainly force KGO's pathetic hand after they see a sweeps disaster. (I'm betting what ever move KGO makes will be the wrong one anyway!)
ReplyDeleteBrian Hackney weather guy as Weekend Main Anchor, Larry Biel sports guy as Main Anchor, Rosemary/Sandhya fill in Main Anchor, Emily Turner field reporter as Weather and Main Anchor fill in. All stations know how to save $$$ and not allow any reporters just do their only job but extras to earn the big cash salary.
