Christina Loren Has Cyst Removed

 Christina Loren, who was let go by NBC Bay Area a few weeks back, underwent surgery at Stanford Hospital to remove a cancerous cyst from her ovary.


Loren said on her Facebook page she's doing ok and "although not smiling", expects a full recovery.


We wish her all the best.

UPDATE: Results of a biopsy of the cyst should be known this coming Friday.

Loren 'Angry Diva' Gets The Axe; NBC Bay Area Source: 'She Was 'Very Difficult' To Work For'; Inside Story; KGO-TV Memo Draws Chuckles From Staff; TGIF Starter

 Make no mistake, Christina Loren was one of NBC Bay Area 's most popular on-air personalities--and she surely knew it. But at the end of the May sweeps on Thursday, Loren was reminded that even a big-time air talent is not immune to getting the axe --and that's what Loren got most unexpectedly: her walking papers.


Loren, from a variety of insiders wasn't given a pink slip due to normal budgetary trimming--in fact, NBC paid her to leave! From multiple sources close to the matter, seems Loren was "difficult to work with."


A KNTV production staffer who spoke on condition of anonymity: "She was nice but she could be very difficult at times --it got to a point where she became an 'angry diva.'"


Another station source: "I like Christine a lot but you have to treat the people you work for with respect. She could be tough."


Loren indeed was very popular in the morning doing weather reports; she also did a ton of PR appearances for the station. This isn't going to break KNTV obviously but I'm pretty certain the decision to bounce the ultra-popular Loren probably was a combo-San Jose/NY move.


We'll be digging more. Stay tuned.


*Over at 900 Front, KGO-TV the talk amongst staffers was a memo distributed to staff from management: "Move around the camera more!" Among other things. Let's just say the initial chuckling has been off the chart.

The Only Weather News That's Important; NBC Bay Area's Christina Loren Is a Star Meteorologist

 Christina Loren is a certified meteorologist. Fact.


The NBC Bay Area weather anchor is also a star too, pleasant to watch and smart enough, savvy enough to give you the very best, most accurate forecast.


We've been talking a lot about weather here in the Bay Area; now that we have a legitimate drought it's cool, it's OK and that's why I've been watching Loren more. She sort of keeps it real and I can appreciate that.


And yes, as I indicated, Ms. Loren is easy on the eyes and that's fine. In fact, I would suggest that is why I watch, is that a crime to admit? I don't think so--TV is a visual medium and that's why they hire pretty people.


Loren is a star too but you already knew that. I approve of this message.
