I totally agree. Heather Holmes is the best anchor in the Bay Area and when she gets mentioned here she usually gets a lot of responses. Love her new haircut.
Thanks for mentioning the Amber Lee incident. I saw it live when it happened. It was first story after the show opened and they immediately cut to her. When she froze i immediately thought of Mitch McConnell because she had the same look in her eye. I thought she was having a stroke. After 15-20 seconds of her looking scary, they cut to the packaged story and when it ended they didn’t cut back to Amber. It was really bad. Hope she’s doing ok.
I saw it too. It didn’t look like a stroke or anything like that. It looked more like anxiety or a panic attack about to set in (coming from someone who has had countless panic attacks throughout my life)
After Summerville left I’ve never watched them again. And I’ve been in this business for a long time. I know good anchors when I see them. Summerville… Richmond. Ashley. I also know not ready for prime time anchors when I see them and that’s Wong and mibach. They are two big reasons why ktvu is no longer watchable.
I grew up with Gary Parks, Dennis Richmond, Elaine Corral, Leslie Griffins, Barbara Simpson and notable others; Frank Summers did it to himself even KTVU gave him numerous chances; nothing wrong with Michbach and Wong, I'm just as comfortable with these two as others in the past, I see just prejudice being meted out
There's no chemistry between Mike and Claudine. The only anchor worth watching on KTVU is Heather Holmes.
ReplyDeleteAh, no. It's Roberta Gonzalez

ReplyDeleteGreat broadcast, Rich. Just one tweak: instead of “eternal dreck,” let’s be honest and call KTVU what they are—eternal dung, steaming and unwatchable.
