KCRA also had their "a" team in anchoring pretty much all night as well. They'd usually come on once every 30 mins during the KTVU coverage to talk about Sacramento Int'l airport and how many flights were there. Beyond that it was all KTVU coverage. IT was very well done.<br /><br />It was also interesting that CBS had to scramble to get Capt Sully on the air (via Skype). He was in the Truckee area talking at an air show at the Truckee Airport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-26335110191674206992013-07-07T21:29:31.895-07:002013-07-07T21:29:31.895-07:00I was out driving listening to KCBS.

His "speculation" at the top of his voice that "two planes were involved" was uncalled for, unprofessional and the coverage was horrendous by KGO. The absolute worse.<br /><br />Second, while I could hand Pat Thurston's coverage and, especially, her experienced phone-in guests who had experience in such airline matters, I found her frequent nervous giggles and oout-and-out laugh about her "not knowing what she was talking about" sad and nerve wracking --- not to mention, unprofessional.<br /><br />Third, the absolute WORST, evr.<br /><br />Karel.<br /><br />This group needs more training, as does the news department, on handing such "crisis".<br /><br />One of these people, Montemayor, should be suspended for a month for inaccurate report and hyper interjection.<br /><br />The one person who should, at long last, be F I R E D and terminated immediately MUST be Karel Bouhley.<br /><br />This bastard, within the first 30-seconds of his sign-on at 9 pm, had to tell us what a beautiful day it was, how blue the sky was, how he had a "wonderful tea-date" with a mororcylist, age 32, in Long Beach and "how my new friend is so cute."<br /><br />I, physically, got up and vomited. Honest.<br /><br />Then we here about a plane crash off the freeway in the LA "right where I live ... not as bad as yours in San Francisco, but a plane crash nonetheless." Again, about "him".<br /><br />Next, it was the God-fearing Karel, who admitted, of course, how he's a "stone atheist" and openly wonders about "miracles." "If you want this to be a miracle, you go ahead and call it that, though I don't belive in religion, I am an atheist. I had a lovely day with my new friend and we were on beautiful motorcycles with him behind me." Who PHUCKING CARES?<br /><br />And finally,he wants to pontificate as if he's walked through fire a dozen times, been through SFO International more than near most everyone (a guy who rents a car everytime he goes to SF to perform because he is "so broke" all the time.<br /><br />This chucklehead is an a$$hat major. No class, no style, no sincerity, all personal drama and all about him.<br /><br />The asshat known as Karel must go, and go now.<br /><br />The most insincere, unknowledgeable, misinformed maniac ever on the radio. The novelty of His Gayness being on the air at KGO for over a decade is not a novelty anymore. He is a boorish whiner, complainer and egocentric face of radio at KGO.<br /><br />I hope there are 100 comments to this post, with thanks to Rich for doing a great job on this coverage. Maybe then, Cumulus Media will not only get the hint, but will get the message. Be done with this boob.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-50726425136243792712013-07-06T20:51:48.874-07:002013-07-06T20:51:48.874-07:00Timothy Montemayor is a disgrace.
