Over and Over and Over and Over

AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER

*KCBS and its inane weather every ten minutes even everybody knows the fucking weather is going to be like --like its been in the Bay Area for centuries in Summer: foggy at the coast, sunny inland --with occasional heat every week. NO, they don't HAVE TO keep doing it because people tune in and out quite regularly. They could, GOD FORBID, run extra time on a Phil Matier segment or a news interview that is interesting...instead we get this nonsense every day and it is deplorable.

*KRON and its out-of-date news sound --only thing missing is stale wonder bread. Then again, KRON is off the air --as if we're all suffering.

*Yeah, a reader indicated what I've discovered for years now: What's the deal with KTVU's overrated Claudine Wong, who seems to have a combination of cold, head cold, sore throat, fever, whatever for the last two years. Now there's a reason she never smiles on the air.

*KGO still using outdated promos for the horrific Mark Thompson --OUT --AGAIN!--TODAY! Yeah, I heard the lame excuse he's doing some VO work for a third-tier cable gig --which only shows what he thinks of his KGO gig.

*Ronnnnnnnnnnnnnn Owens stlll popping into the studios at KGO's Battery St. home to let the PD know he's ready and willing to take over the 10-Noon gig (or any time slot for that matter) and the insipid execs having to tell Ronnnnnnn: "Well, Ronn, we appreciate your support but we already have enough crappy hosts already."

*Jan Wahl's uber-irritating movie reviews on Friday on KCBS even though only 14 people listen and half of that number is Jan's yoga class in Berkeley.

*KCBS for having the gall to run the hideous yahoo known as "Foodie Chap", the inglorious bastard known as Liam Mayclem with the overwrought, heightened, obnoxious British accent who has all the appeal of a bowl of dirty, wet oatmeal found on Sixth and Market after midnight.

*Frank Somerville's look of "concern" after a sad murder  story or some banal human interest piece Frank, just  read the damn story and move forward. And stay the hell off Facebook!

*Weather anchors on both TV and radio referring to "the marine layer." Hey, schmuck, it's FOG! Why not just call it FOG! Is there a law you have to call it the "marine layer?" Does that make it more interesting and important? Oh, dear lord, I've got your marine layer right here.

*Tom Tolbert and his fixation on beer. It's no longer schtick. It's bordering on disturbing. And it's LOUSY RADIO.

*Every time Damon Bruce utters words that he thinks are intellectually standard and impressive I have to chuck my lunch out; Bruce is married to some Salesforce chick who obviously has a ball-chain effect on him. Almost like she ORDERS him now, "Damon, you must be more like an adult!" 

*Bill Martin's nightly 146 "uh's" which would be even more record-setting if Bill wouldn't leave after the 6 to eat his dinner at home in Lafayette.

*KGO-TV GM Tom Cibrowski's continuing MIA status which means Disney brings a guy out from NY for a $500G a-year gig to say nothing, do nothing, program nothing; wait, he got new furniture too!

*Mark Willard lame attempt to "distinguish himself" on late night KNBR --yeah, I'm sure it's working since they consistently run 7 straight PSA's every night.  Any day now, Willard will have on a sports physic.

*Tim Kawakami's BLOCKING everyone on his Twitter account which has become so inane and dumb the Kawster has millions of fake accounts trolling him on his "BLOCK" status. Great, Tim, go block yourself now.

*Ronnnnn's cheesy cruise ads on KGO; between Ronnnnnn and the fucking Hadlery guy pimping his hotels and Owens ass-kissing, they can both cruise and bed over the "Ronn Owens Report." Cruel and Unusual Punishment.
