FORMER KRON Weather maven and LA TV/Radio star, Mark Thompson is "itching" to come back to the Bay Area. Says an Insider: "He loves the LA action but he misses San Francisco, a lot really." Thompson would fit in at KTVU, a certified FOXified property now. Thompson knows Fox.
*THE BIG LA TV MEDIA story involves the "heavy amount" of some SoCal TV female women trying hard, really hard, to stop the mass migration of Bay Area TV women ending up in Ell-Lay: "It has come down to the point where the powerful LA women anchor society have formed a 'secret bond': Do anything necessary to protect our turf!" Uh, that's some resolve if I've ever seen it and I've seen a lot.
*KTVU rank and file union guys are in the dumps --with FOX as a whole because of its union strategy and good, old morning schmucko himself, in particular --Ross Palombo: said my 2 Insider:
"With the union agreements basically ignored the minute Fox took over, it has been a hard 16 months in lost wages for all union techs...
The latest salvo and more proof that Fox has no desire to deal in good faith whatsoever is in the exams of Ross Palombo editing a piece for air. Fox is stalling and wants there to be no jurisdiction, therefore no work for union workers. The latest douchebaggery by Fox, and Jack London Squares main douchenozzle, Ross himself."
My add: Is there anyone more phonier and transparent than the dim-witted Palombo? Every day this schmuck appears on the KTVU screen means Channel 2/Fox has lost all forms of credibility. What a complete waste of energy.
*ROBERTA GONZALES --my advice to you: I have been your ally and have always said you are the main cog at KPIX. I've also called you out lately, Roby, for becoming way, way too cheery. Roby, I know you are having personal issues but you're a PROFESSIONAL! Be YOU. Don't give your adversaries more ammo--they'll cream your ass! In other words, Roberta, do your thing --just cut all the drama and phoniness out. You still have it. But please, 86 all the other histrionics --it's distracting and unbecoming -be good and you still have my back, cool? OK now.
*Heather Holmes of KTVU: The newsroom calls this "pumps deluxe"
Ross Palombo: Tard Au' Jeu.
ReplyDeleteGo eat some more cake, Sebastian, this is MY territory, Goddamit!!
DeleteWant to see HH with more leg and some cleavage! Sex sells baby!
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing that photo she has a new fan in me. Where do I sign up? Sexy legs and feet.
DeleteIf you like that photo of Heather like her facebook page. She posts pictures of her new shoes all of the time
DeleteIt sure does sell. Porn made more money last year than baseball and basketball combined. FOX (cable), #1 for 14 years in a row. Hire hot sexy women and display them properly, FOX figured that out 14 years ago!!
Delete"Porn made more money last year than baseball and basketball combined."
DeleteHey, with porn you get a post up, a slam dunk, and a home run on every play!
FOX is under NO obligation to deal with the Union. COX knew that when they made the trade. COX shafted the union...and the union was too damm stupid to see the shafting.
ReplyDeleteBlame COX and IBEW. COX dumped the place based on LABOR COST.
> ... and the union was too damm stupid to see the shafting.
DeleteHow do you know?
What do you propose the union could have done to prevent the trade?
And I'll bet they're not too damn stupid to spell damn correctly.
It's a fact that COX shafted the union...who was asleep at the wheel during the trade.
DeleteQuit worrying about spelling and come to the daily rehearsal so you won't be left behind.
Why on Earth would FOX be forced to honor a contract they never negotiated or agreed upon.
DeleteThe union/IBEW will be laughed right out of the courthouse on that one.
Actually courts usually rule to keep a union agreement in place if the contract was still at force at time of the trade. If the simple change in ownership were all it too to break a union, there would be countless cases of shell corporations doing just that. Luckily labor law is still stronger than that and with luck we'll see a resurgence in labor activism to bring some balance to the grossly uneven situation we have now between capital and labor.
DeleteHey, if the ladies down in Mordor want to send Marla Tellez back up here, please do. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe LA girls win hands down. Check out FOX 11's Lauren Sivan and her "yoga tape"...
DeleteGoogle lauren Sivan yoga tape.....or copy this

The LA ladies can't stay together as a pack...they would just scratch each others eyes out.
She looks like a blonde chipmunk in a leotard.
DeleteLA can keep Mark Tompson. We only accept hot, beautiful and sexy women. Send Carolyn Johnson back to us!
ReplyDeleteI think maybe Colleen Williams (KPIX) was the first to start the parade to Los Angeles, thirty-something years ago. Anybody would be easier on the ears than KTTV's Jillian Barberie (pictured above) was, but Marla Tellez is a terrific addition to Fox 11. I assume LA stations pay better, at least they used to as far as I knew, but also there is probably the factor that some anchorwomen (and men) can use their jobs as stepping stones to hosting the likes of "Entertainment Tonight," "Extra," and various E! gigs, which has been fairly common.
ReplyDeleteI think that Marcia Brandwynne may have done it before Williams.
DeleteAccording to Marla Tellez, this is her first job where they have makeup artists do your makeup and hair. And they do a terrific job on her too! Go Marla!
DeleteWhores at War.
ReplyDeleteThis is embarrASSING!
I'd love to see the day when MEN are "put on display"... as if that would ever happen.
That photo of that Smel-LA chick makes Darya look like a school marm.
All these broads are sell-outs.
I suppose it would take female O and Os to turn things around, and put some integrity in the TeeVee broadcast news.
Cut the Crappy Talk!
Keep (anti)Social Media OFF news!
Don't let "Anchors" use their cell phones on air?
Quit reporting on celebrities...*unless it's an obit'
Stop cramming four "anchors" on one desk!
...Talk like pirates...ON YOUR OWN TIME, NOT DURING A BROADCAST!
Dress professionally, NOT like 'The oldest profession'!
Pick you "BREAKING" stories...not every damn thing is breaking news!
Where's the restroom...
Plz send ch2 gassy the howler monkey to lala Land with the other banshee and bring back MARK CURTIS
ReplyDeleteI think KGO should think of Thompson for the radio. He seems like someone who could host a decent talk show.
ReplyDeleteThompson's hair looks much thicker in the above picture than when he was in SF. Perhaps the action and the weather is helping the hairline? Why would he want to return? Most stations up here are in shambles. Good God thank you so much for the HH picture. She has nice feet. I would kiss those feet even though I'm still getting over snot gate. I checked her FB page. Lots of nice pictures but I did notice the bare foot pictures dropped off after snot gate. Perhaps she lost confidence?
ReplyDeleteThis morning, I was watching Gonzales do her hyperbolic, melodramatic take on the rain passing through the Bay Area. You'd have thunk it raining locusts. I turned it over to Mike Nicco on KGO and got a much more temperate and reasonably low key forecast of the storms.
ReplyDeleteYeah, well drama or not, I was w/o power for 2 hrs during dinner/prime time tv due to weather. Roberta Gonzales was right to be passionate about it. So there. Mikes a good guy but so is RoGo!
ReplyDeleteYes KTVU (FOX) is like the dumper. Brown.
