Welcome to the "Shit Show"; KCBS Circus on Sunday Morning Takes Place (Again); Lisa Chan at Center of Storm (Again); Dead Air; Gaffes; Bumbling and Stumbling; Re-Airs Taped CBS Programming Multiple Times; Where's Jennifer Seelig?--Never Mind

Can it really have taken place again?

Yes, it can and did so painfully and unintentionally funny on Sunday morning.

KCBS was a MESS. Stop if you've heard this before and you did not so long ago.

It all began to unravel in the early morning, between 6 and 9 AM --a three-hour period that seemed to last forever. But before we get to the good stuff, we should report KCBS tried in earnest to cover up their own gooey mess by running taped programming --it didn't work. Bact to that in a few moments.

Incompetent, ill-prepared and bizarre anchor, Lisa Chan, was once again at the center of the storm and made to look (and sound) foolish. This is an ongoing comedy deluxe at the alleged all-news (740 AM/106.9 FM) Audacy SF outlet.

Chan's misfotune commenced at the 7 AM hour. Her weird tendency to allow DEAD AIR after each traffic/weather report didn't stop just there. After almost every local report, Chan didn't immediately begin her anchoring. A good two-three, even 5! seconds of, yes, you guessed it, DEAD AIR, was heard on the air. It was not every now and then, it was a CONSTANT--after each report! It's painful to listen to, after you stop LAUGHING, as I did.

But wait, there's more!

At one point, after the bottom hour CBS News at 7: 30, a reporter's story was REPEATED only seconds after it was aired; but realizing a mistake occured, the report (by Megan Goldsby) was CUT OFF seconds later (awkward at best) and a clumsy toss to traffic anchor, Ted Ramey, made things even more embarrassing and murky. Ramey almsost gave the wrong time before recovering and correcting himself.

At least there wasn't more DEAD AIR.

Until after the 7: 45 sports update (old news) when more DEAD AIR, courtesy the inept Chan presented herself. It's apparent Chan doesn't know how to run a board and appears incapable of just the most adequate form of anchoring.

How BAD is KCBS?

Normally at the 6 AM hour, it runs news and traffic/weather, only today it re-aired taped CBS news programming and re-aired 2X! its Sunday morn "In Depth" show--apparently trying to cushion Chan's inability to announce the news and save itself (and the few listeners) further embarrassment. I have no idea--maybe KCBS couldn't get anyone else out of bed on a Sunday morning to read the news. Obviously, KCBS doesn't give a shit about its Sunday programming because this is an ongoing crisis.

KCBS is led (if that's a proper word) by ND Jennifer Seelig. Seelig either herself doesn't care or is resiged to the incompetence.

Here's the thing: the rank and file at KCBS know there's issues and is aware of the problems that continue to resurface and PLAGUE the place. I know because I've heard it from someone at the scene of the crime. It's evident on Sunday but it's also happening during the rest of the week too.

Seelig gets a pass. From corporate. And is allowed to carry on without any repercussions. It's beyond embarrassing. A KCBS source said of Seelig: "There's no accountability here."

They went further: "It's a shit show."
