Pat Thurston Would Be a Great "In Depth" Host on KCBS--Here's Why

7 comments:

  1. I haven’t really listened to In Depth since it was hosted by Jane McMillan (along with Ed Cavagnaro), and l miss that caliber of deep dives into relevant stories in the Bay Area. It would be great to have any sort of hard-hitting local conversation back on KCBS (and it would also be nice to hear Pat again).

    And I don’t always agree with everything Phil Matier has to say, but if In Depth were to be a half-hour of hearing his perspective on things, or having him and Doug Sovern talk local politics/issues, I wouldn’t mind either.

  2. She's much better suited for a gossippy, trashy format, not a fact-based, docu-style informational news program. She lowered KCBS' news standards even further from where they HAD been with her innane interviews which were not news. Her unprofessional opinions & commentary during news stories makes even students of broadcast classes wince in disbelief.
    No, Rich, i think we miss her laugh as much as kamela & Hillary's- zippo!

    1. Agree 100%, and add to the fact Rich calls her horrible one month and great the next month

  3. I disagree. Strongly. Likely the worst choice.

    1. Probably not the "worst choice"- that honor goes to Dave Padilla.

  4. Keith Menconi is still listed on KCBS staff list on their website maybe bring him back...

  5. It will never happen. In Depth now is a canned product from Audacy, & Mary Hughes has been relegated to late nights.
