If t...Rich, here’s a good contest for your readers. If they became the ND of PIX, how would they fix the place?<br /><br />My first move would be to move Juliet Goodrich to sole anchor at 6 and 11. Make her the face of the station. Say goodbye to Ken. She’s smart and attractive. She becomes more attractive as she ages. She’s got lots of street reporting experience and can ad lib. Viewers like her. She has longevity.<br /><br />Have Allen and the Disney girl do 5 and Ch 44 at 10.<br /><br />Second, start getting scoops again. Their stories seem so routine, so similar to what everybody else has. When was the last time you said, “Hey Marge, did you see that story on Channel 5 last night?” Nobody has said that in years. Some stations try to have a pipeline of scoops by setting up an “investigative unit.” But all reporting can be investigative if you go beyond the press release you’re handed by the PR spokesperson. The ND should be pushing reporters to get more dirt than the other stations. Those PIX “Original Reporting” promos make me laugh because the stories they tout are so lame you wonder why they bothered to air them.<br /><br />Third, quit using Phil Matier as a commentator or analyst and tell him to give you the kind of scoops he puts in his column. His talent is being misused.<br /><br />Fourth, they need a consumer reporter who goes to bat for the little guy. Those can be compelling stories that everybody can identify with. Maybe Julie Watts is the right person for that role, though she needs to shed a few pounds.<br /><br />Fifth, the morning show doesn’t work. Change the anchors and think about who is watching at that hour. Instead of the pontifical style of news anchoring from a desk, try a couch and ad lib more. I know people ridicule Fox & Friends because of their politics, but the chemistry and presentation factors on that show really work. News but in a friendly setting.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-79156172849319529282018-06-01T23:11:49.357-07:002018-06-01T23:11:49.357-07:00Meanwhile back at PIX, with Cook either allergy ri...Meanwhile back at PIX, with Cook either allergy ridden or upset with DR's departure, VDLC with her personal matters, and Goodrich attending her daughter's graduation, Rich will not want to know who sat next to Ken Bastida tonight at 11.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-11016414931733424082018-06-01T17:14:42.849-07:002018-06-01T17:14:42.849-07:00Hey 2:52pm...

Unlike Dennis Richmond (who was a dick to all the staff) Frank was always easy to work with. Unlike Dennis he treated the interns with the same respect he gave to the other anchors and reporters.

Dennis got the job and kept the job because he was black, period. He said oftentimes he didn't inflect his voice because he didn't want to reveal his opinion on stories. More likely he didn't have any, because, again to quote Fred, he didn't "get" most of the news he was reading.<br /><br />Deep down he knew he was a fraud but #blacknewscastersmatter and he kept his job through fear and intimidation. A class ass. Frank's no brain surgeon, but he's smarter than Dennis, and contributes to meetings. Julie is a deer in the headlights who got the job because she's pretty (or was; hard to tell lately as she's caking on the makeup more than she used to) and doesn't seem to realize it. Ibanez has an ego the size of a mountain because he can sit there for five minutes a few times a night and read copy other people wrote.

Dennis would make people walk on eggshells around him. I've never seen Frank snap or get attitude with anyone in the newsroom. Frank actually cares about KTVU. I wouldn't say the same other talent because they care more about themselves.
