Castaneda/PIX Idea Makes Too Much Sense; Sort Of; KNBR "Copie" Giggles Through Tolbert Salient Warriors' Point; Chronicle Printed Paper Darkness; The "SF Standard" Has Meat and Potatoes; KTVU Andre Senior Mean Streak; Thursday Happy Hour

THURSDAY MEDIA HAPPY HOUR

Sal Castaneda will probably stay at KTVU because KPIX people don't know creative action if it hit 'em on the head.

Yes, the media biz is tough these days; lots of demands and relatively low pay compared to the good old days but every now and then, you can make a preemptive strike and hit home. The Sal-to-PIX idea isn't nirvana but it would show some industrial girth on CBS's part.

That's a tough sell these days.

*The KNBR co-host from 2-6 PM who now laughs every minute took a direct jab from his partner today, (Thursday) --Tom Tolbert told the laughing hyena, (Adam Copeland) that, no, the LA Lakers didn't "steal" Game One of the Second Round/NBA playoffs against the Warriors.

If anything, Tolbert said it was the Warriors who would have stolen the game.

The remark went by Copie's head as he used the term another three times without any consideration of what Tolbert just said.

Copeland can laugh and giggle, he does know that, but other salient points? Fugeet about it.

*If the Chronicle stops publishing its printed newspaper this year--maybe sooner rather than later, don't be surprised. I won't.

*The SF Standard: good, local on-line paper that actually coverLOCAL NEWS. Moreover, it has, apparently, wads of cash and resources so it's not going away anytime soon, much to the chagrin of the Hearst people who run SFGate and its red houses and purple burritos fetish.

*MEAN STREAK: a few spies at KTVU tell me, morning anchor, Andre Senior, has developed a new attitude of "real mean ness.-- a jerk," says a veteran EP.

"He seems to believe he's entitled."

Senior should check his ego at the door.
