The Lowest of the Low at KTVU

 
 At KTVU, I'm told, before you do anything...that's anything; have a cup of coffee; eat some yogurt; lay on the floor and relax and do yoga; you must FIRST, tweet; take a selfie --at first I thought it was a joke but no kidding, they really make you do this.
 
Someone told me the most prolific tweeters/selfies were Rosemary Orozco, Keba Arnold and the leader in the clubhouse, Gasia Mikaelian (all pictured, left to right)
 
I can't stand selfies. I think they are the epitome of asininity. I think they are unwholesome and unsavory particularly from people in the news business who should know better. 
 
KTVU: how low can you go? Lower.

  1. I was thinking about how far KTVU has fallen. New crappy bumper music FOX Style. Reports are stale like leftovers from the Newark Dennys. Like you, I used to enjoy KTVU, now I feel that I just watch KTVU if the tv reception is bad on other channels. KTVU got Foxed. Now they're FOX'ING us.

  2. Is this true for managers too? Let's see the managers faces who are tweeting and taking selfies.

  3. Rich,

    This isn't low... It's the new normal. EVERY station is doing this. NYC, LA, Chicago, Miami. etc. Twitter, FB, Instagram, Periscope, Snapchat, etc. This is how it's done these days. If they didn't do this, it would be a huge step backward for the station. It'll never be like the old days again.

    I don't like it either... I'm just saying this is how it is now. (Where the hell is the sad face emoji?!?!)

    1. I love to see the Live feeds on Facebook from Marla Tellez, Maria Sansone, and Olga Ospina from Fox11 in LA. Sometimes it is better than live TV.

  4. Funny how old-school media is just getting heavily into social media now that it's starting to wind down. Whether it's politics, pop culture or economics, the media's always the last to know, and the one to broadcast loudest to the rest of us.

  5. Selfies are for assholes like the mo2 crew.

  6. See Rich your ethnic women love to do this. It has been going on for centuries. Case in point the Kardashians.

  7. Aside from the Three Stooges, did ya notice how much better the KRON4 morning news was this week? One reason: NO DARYA BIG TITS. Teresa Estacio brought professionalism on Monday and Tuesday. And it's always good to see James Fletcher sitting in the other chair and not doing weather or "Breaking News" the rest of the time.

    Hint...hint...hint.

    2. I also notice that Hershey was sponsor,then not for a couple days..then again a sponsor for the Garys World.
      I would not put it past KRON to use now fake sponsors to save face.
      Plus a salute to Mark Dannon. He's like the constant steady rudder..never sucked in by Darya or Radnich.
      Smart guy.
