KTVU had scheduled to carry the Gay Pride Parade in SF Sunday--streaming it live on its web channel --when, out of the blue, GM, Greg Kelly, cancelled it for no apparent reason.
Considering Friday's monumentally historic Supreme Court Decision on Gay Marriage, one would think the Castro would be a significant focal point and news site for coverage.
Maybe I'm missing something.

UPDATE: 2: 02 PM PST
A KTVU SOURCE tells me that GM, Greg Kelly wanted no part of the parade because of "nudity and language."
I've reached out to Kelly to respond.

Congrats and to each their own however based on 2013 NHIS data 1.6% of the US population considers themselves gay. Is this really warranting of a parade?
ReplyDeleteWhere's the parade for our returning vets?

DeleteAccording to the 2014 Census, the population of he U.S. is 318 million.
According to the VA, 2.5 million Americans served since the Global War on Terror began shortly after the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks.
This means less than 1% (0.08%) of the population served in OEF/OIF/OND.
So...by your logic, a parade is also not warranted for our returning veterans.
@2:24. According to Gallup 2012....
DeleteOn this Veterans Day 2012, about 13% of U.S. adults overall are veterans, including 24% of men and 2% of women.
1.6% of the US population is LGTB, 13% are veterans.
I can't wait for our veterans to get their parade and wall to wall coverage.
I'm pretty sure they'll keep their clothes on so KTVU can cover it.
Yes...and the gays who served in the military through he years but had to conceal who they were may finally get their just due!! A win win
DeleteI would ask the VFW about the parade for Vets.
DeleteOr whatever trade group animal doctors belong to.
(clicking on these pictures of steak and sushi is making me hungry)
I am NOT a robot!
hmm don't they have Veterans Day and 4th of July…
DeleteISIS recognized the US Supreme Court decision today by executing 4 gay men who were pushed from the top of a building to a cheering mob below. Some of them tweeted #LoveWins. Pictures showed them hanging the men upside down, holding them by their feet, and then letting them drop.
DeleteWord from on high or as they are commonly known, Fox?
ReplyDeleteWas thinking the same.
DeleteFrank...exactly....in house (at KTVU) we were watching Fox News to see their reaction...a lot of Hillary emails and Ben ghazi and then they circled around to "states rights"......quite funny....Dana and her tweedle dum know nothing toilet clogging "fake it till we make it" underling stooges (Kelly Blownine and Michelle "Corn fed" Ernst were waiting for cues on when and how to breathe.
DeleteMayhaps he's just a cooler head, curbing his enthusiasm till we've heard from da pope.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you are missing anything. I think what is missing, is the previous owners of channel 2 (Cox Broadcasting). Fox is synonymous with all kinds of rwnj.
ReplyDeleteNo nudity & language on TV? Perish the thought! For as Theodore Roosevelt once said, "This shit's boring, what else is on?"
ReplyDeleteThankfully, faux Ken, your kind of person is being thrown out of the SFBA due to price hikes. My kind is in style. :) :) SFBA is leaning much more middle and center these days. And we're working.
DeleteYou covered Donald Trump before, and now Donald Trump fights back against Univision. He has banned any employee of Univision from using his golf course, which is right next to Univision headquarters in Florida. Touche! Here's a guy who really knows how to say "get out!"
ReplyDeleteI heard he was planning on suing Univision for breach because they have a contract to carry the Miss Universe Pageant for the next five years.
DeleteAt least hes a man of his word and doesn't lie daily like Hillary
DeleteI wonder if that would get him a 10 peso payout? Or as Vincent Kennedy Mcmahon once said, "Billions of pesos! Billions of pesos !"
DeleteI wonder what IBEW Local 45 has to say about this????
ReplyDeleteI smell "sun-tin-funny !!!"
Greg is a Republican,and I'm sure when he contacts you,he would gladly tell you.
ReplyDeleteKTVU will soon be all lots of leg- good- and all right wing delivery...Very bad.
Bye KTVU. Kiss my ass. And I'm an old, black, straight, woman, by the way. Let's call it the KGO-ification of Channel 2. Right wing bigots and I will never watch this channel again ever.
ReplyDeleteI'm an elderly (don't call me "old", Sonny!) Korean woman with 7 grandchildren. I want a parade!
ReplyDeleteUnion label....what could the union do? BTW..IBEW just got crushed in their complaint to the NLRB in their case against Fox (who took over and cut pay to union employees as an opening shot)...so Local 45 has been neutered.....game over....skull crushing Fox rolls on...more layoffs coming soon!!
