| Leyla Gulen is talking to KPIX |
How angry was
Leyla Gulen at
KGO-TV for apparently snubbing her for the upcoming, new, morning show? Enough to have it out, and I do mean,
HAVE-IT-OUT with EP,
Kerry Loring, the woman who is working on the new show. Gulen and Loring duked it out to the point of management intervening --KGO sided with Loring and Gulen
was fired. How did she know? On her last day at
900 Front, Lulen's security card key had been deactivated. Ouch.
Meanwhile, as word spread quickly over Gulen's 86 from KGO,
Robin Winston, the ultra-hot weather sub at
KRON and
KGO Radio traffic reporter, auditioned for the KGO-TV gig last Friday,
415 Media has learned.
Winston is liked by most of her radio co-workers and other powers-that-be near the Bay Area TV world and from here, appears to be the odds-on favorite to replace Gulen.
Layla where have you been all of my life?
ReplyDeleteHaving it out with your superiors never ends well. That chick was stupid. I'm sure I'll see her at the local Starbucks soon.
ReplyDeleteLezzla Gimpen can audition at the Dumb Fucken Monkey Show for all I care!! I won't put up with any of her fucken bullshit!!
ReplyDeleteGulen's wardrobe is/was hilarious ... cocktail dresses at 6 AM.
ReplyDeleteAnd how is that different than what everyone else is wearing these days???
DeleteGulen's wardrobe is a contender/competitor with that of Heather Holmes who frequently looks like she's returning from or going to a party. I think I've even seen her wear the same things on newscasts on consecutive days, surely a clear indicator of a walk of shame situation. I presume she must now keep a spare outfit at work in avoid such speculation in similar situations. Yeah, I'm jealous
DeleteYou've the fashion sense of a hairy knuckled construction worker. Those were hardly cocktail dresses.
DeleteWould still prefer Elizabeth Wenger over this...
ReplyDeleteWhy would KGO side with Loring? I hear she's a nut and is abusive to her employees.
ReplyDeleteEasy. Because she's following upper management's marching orders. They say jump, she asks how high, and they stand behind her if someone gets in the way. It's EP job security. That is, until all the changes launch. Then the ratings go up, or they don't. And if they don't, it's not because upper management had a bad idea.
DeleteArguing over breadcrumbs. Soon, local TV news will go the way of print newspapers. Weather? Get an app. Sports? Get an app and avoid all the bombast. News? if it bleeds it leads is old-school. Viewers want a more positive focus on news. We all know there are rapes, murders, car crashes, etc. Turn on any station and they report much the same. As for that investigative channel in the Bay Area, so-called, it spends more on its TV promos than true investigative work.
ReplyDeleteAn update on the Chron's Audrey Cooper. Her job is to pick stories for page 1. Yesterday she was so upset by Trump's proposed ban on Muslims that she didn't know what to do. She told her editors to put it inside. It landed on the bottom of A8. What was more important to Cooper? A story about a Vietnamese restaurant fighting to survive in the Tenderloin and a study on prostate cancer. Why isn't Trump on page 1? She's worried that putting a "divisive" story on the front would indicate that she and the Chron are siding with Trump. Repeatedly editors have to tell her that the Chron isn't endorsing the news by putting it on the front -- it's merely reporting it. But she doesn't get that basic concept and would rather put soft features on the front. Whether you agree or disagree with Trump isn't the question. His proposed ban is the day's big story, in other papers, TV and social media. I'm certainly not a Trump supporter, but this ban is one of the most unusual things a front runner in either party has ever done. FWIW, if you go to the Newseum site, you can see that the LA Times, NY Times and Washington Post all put Trump's ban on the front. None of them had stories about struggling Vietnamese restaurants on their fronts.
ReplyDeleteLiberals...shake my head.
DeleteThe Chronicle is a piece of shit. It is run by someone who is a piece of shit. I've got my New York Times digital subscription. Hooray for me and fuck the Chronicle.
DeleteTrump is a clown. If any of the qualified candidates, Clinton, Rubio, Kasich et al. had said any one of the offensive and crazy things Trump says almost daily their campaigns would be over in a minute.
ReplyDeleteTrump's coverage should be on the comics page. The guy is a sideshow.
That's sad.
ReplyDeleteTypical millennial attitude….expects a promotion without earning it. C’mon, she’s a traffic girl and she wanted to be considered for the anchor team of a morning show?!? How about getting some experience reporting in the field and doing some core journalistic responsibilities before the next step. I guess the outside elements are too extreme for her frail persona, sleeveless dress collection, and her fly-away hair!
ReplyDeleteLeyla Gulen would not fit at PIX. Besides with Elizabeth Wenger due back soon from her maternity leave, they would be wise NOT to invite a CATFIGHT between them. Plus, Wenger and her 2 subs do a FAR BETTER JOB then a deposed cocktail traffic reporter that has a pride/anger issue.
ReplyDelete415 Media reported that Wenger quit PIX.
DeleteWasn't it posted earlier that Wenger quit her AM job?
ReplyDeleteHubba hubba Layla on display!
ReplyDeleteI think Leyla would fit in fine with the KPIX morning bunch which I never watch - which is why she would fit in just fine... When KGO hired her I was wondering why? Robin would be a great improvement to KGO in the AM... I'd also dump that ass Nicco(sp) he is as distasteful as the stale wafer candy...
ReplyDeleteI just saw Robin Winston, Raddy's wife better get ready!
