415 Media Thursday; KCBS Runs Promos on Paradise Fire Barely Week Before It Began; Warriors' Durant/Green Brouhaha Stirs Up Local/National Sports-Talk Radio; KPIX Dimwits Who Ran Stupid and Insensitive Paradise Fire Tweet Still Egg on Their Faces

*KCBS, which has done an extraordinary job on the whole covering the Paradise/Camp fire calamity, has sullied its coverage BIG TIME ...how so? A week after the fire first stared, days barely, KCBS began running promos of its work. Actualities of reporter/anchor, Holly Quan, on the scene were heard; Quan describing a "scene that resembles 'Armageddon'" along with the VO "KCBS covers 'Breaking News' the best." It certainly does, but this is not the disaster to begin highlighting your "team coverage."

There are still remains in the area in and around Paradise. Only a few have been IDed. There's over 135 (as of this time) people missing and at least 48 56 63 dead.. Bodies are trapped; they haven't even had a funeral yet and so, what the hell is KCBS doing, running promos from a grief-stricken area where even seasoned firefighters are in shock and have said this is "the worst I've ever seen", including Governor Brown and fed officials.

To be fair, this is not the fault of KCBS reporters; this is a marketing decision by Entercom-owned KCBS but it is a major embarrassment and sullies the work of KCBS and its anchors and reporters; someone needs to be called out and punished; and most certainly KCBS needs to STOP running these promos immediately.

*Nothing like a Warriors' in-house brouhaha that has stirred up sports-talk radio --for KNBR it couldn't have come at a better time with NO Warriors broadcasts, NO 49ers, No Giants, and when this happens show hosts have to talk and generally speaking, KNBR has mostly no-talent hosts.

*THIS is what's known as INEXCUSABLE!

And to the PR woman at KPIX (CBSSF) who's often ridiculed me for my "iinsensitivity" I ask her how she defends this rubbish? Common sense is out the door at 855 Battery.

*WOULD SOMEONE, PLEASE, tell the KTVU main news anchor and sports anchor to stop having quiet, private encounters lunchtime off the studios? Sloppy seconds make for a really bad situation when the wifies find out and one definitely knows what's going on.

*YES, I do write, quite a bit about a certain cloud company that pretty much KILLED one of the greatest radio stations ever; I have a passionate feeling for old, great, legacy stations that were BIGGER then just a mere radio station.

I CARE.

So those of you that contact me via email or comments feel free to ridicule me and lampoon my "idiocy" and want to keep droning on and on and on...tell you what? Like they say, "change the station?" You guys? Change the Internet address and if I truly bother you, then don't come here, I didn't force you. Go. Away.
