Don't Say Anything about 'Bombshell' at KTVU

Cast of Bombshell: from left to right, Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie

At KTVU, they can't talk about "Bombshell" --the movie out now about the inner machinations of Fox News chief, the late Roger Ailes and specifically, Megyn Kelly.

I hope this is just a romp and someone at KTVU is trying to mess with me (again)

415 Media Exclusive: Kimberly Guilfoyle Interested in KGO Radio Talk Gig; Former SF DA and Newsom Wife Taking Calls from NYC

Kimberly Guilfoyle wants to take your calls

KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE --she of Fox News fame (but no longer) is interested in becoming a radio talk-show host and is serious about the venture. How serious?

415 MEDIA has learned through an intermediary the one-time SF DA who was once Mrs. Gavin Newsom, sent out feelers to talk stations, including, get this, KGO! Guilfoyle would still live in the East Coast and do the show from NY City where she lives.

Guilfoyle recently started a relationship with son of POTUS, Donald Trump Jr. She's set to campaign with him and has essentially put her TV career on hold.

Radio is another story apparently. I have heard her do various radio shows but never in the position as host.

KGO is on the list, (says a source to me) because Guilfoyle still has many Bay Area contacts from her DA days and presumably would attract a sizable audience.

I called KGO to get a comment and as of this posting no response has been answered.

This sounds like instant ratings nirvana for KGO but money and arrangements would have to be in the mix. Furthermore, would KGO have interest? What about the conflict of interest with her relationship with Trump Jr? Oh, such trivialities.

Stay tuned.

On The KTVU Front Burner: Fox Network Makes Its O and O Anchors Run Their Own Teleprompters

Here's something KTVU staffers are not looking forward to: according to a heady local TV news hound, Fox makes its anchors run their own teleprompters, a small-market practice not seen in San Francisco.


Supposedly, Fox does it in New York, LA, and Chicago.


Why so? It saves money by dumping studio crew.


I have a feeling I just destroyed a lot of dinner plans in Jack London Square tonight.

KTVU Will Not Become 'Fox News West'; Relax Liberal Bay Area

 The Fox Network acquisition of KTVU will have zero influence on the look and editorial style of Channel 2.


As I told Chuck Barney of the San Jose Mercury News, viewers thinking a Fox News conservative mode will blanket Channel 2 are mistaken.


Fox News is not the over-the-air Fox TV Network, nor does it have anything to do with the overall business model. It is all a part of News Corporation, the parent company of Rupert Murdock's vast media empire that includes a wide array of TV, Newspaper and digital holdings.


Like I told Barney, "You're not going to see Bill O' Reilly popping up on Channel 2 any time soon."


In addition, KTVU News will look and sound very much the same and the average viewer will notice no difference whatsoever. At least for the coming months it'll be business as usual at KTVU while down the road the FCC approves the transaction which it is expected to do so.
