HEY BUDDY BOY!*Hey Ronnnnnn Owens, good many people still want to know why I pick on you and the latest lie that you took Ray Taliaferro to lunch the day after the KGO massacre in 2011 is another reason why. It's another LIE! Hell, you made the cooks in the back of North Beach restaurant make a sandwich for you after Gene Burns funeral and didn't leave a tip. That's both true and so later-day Ronn Owens.
*Hey, KCBS evening weather yenta, Sherry Brown: Sheryl Raines can't stand you and has told everyone under the moon in the newsroom. Can't say that I disagree,
*Hey, can someone explain to me how Warriors' superstar Steph Curry wasn't roasted by the local press over his "we didn't land on the moon" opine? Never mind.*Hey, Susan Leigh Taylor, let Bunger do the entire interviews because, frankly, you really suck at interviewing.
*Hey, Stan Bunger, your weather pontificating now borders on the extreme. If we wanted your embellishments we'd have told you so. Enough of the "well, we could see some sun pop-ups and a brief thunder shower here and there." Stan, please, STOP IT! You're inching in on Bill Martin territory.
*Hey, Heather Holmes, one of your key generals in the KTVU newsroom insists "she works her ass off." OK, fair enough. Just this advice: you can look sexy by dressing professionally, you know, the corporate CEO look? A business dress and blouse, say. Which by the way, makes you far more credible and serious. Again, Heather, think Cecilia Vega and Diane Sawyer and enough with the Marina chick wardrobe.*Hey soldiers, Lisa Argen of KGO-TV weather fame, swears they're real in case you were wondering.
*What am I not getting about Kyla Grogan? Please help me.
*Hey, Mark Ibanez: so about those texts? Humn.
*Those Bay Area news celebrities and talk hosts that are doing those highly ubiquitous and irritating ads about living in Lathrop --have they actually been in or seen Lathrop? Hell no.
*Raj Mathai insists he has no interest in New York but if NBC throws more zeros Raj's way then anything is on the table. Raj loves San Jose and family but I bet if the moolah is that good he and the wife and kids could easily adapt to Rockefeller Center (which isn't so bad by the way)*I mean, seriously now, Kyla Grogan?
*Teetering on obscurity: Ken Bastida.
*The first thing you should know is that Jack Swanson tried to get rid of Armstrong and Getty; this was before he found out Cumulus had no money for him which only reinforces KGO Radio is pretty much in the wasteland, now, the future, forever.
*Just a hunch: New radio home for the Oakland A's might be KSFO. A baseball broadcast during spring and summer won't effect the talk format and yes, even though KSFO is right-wing central remember KTRB was not exactly middle of the road either.*When Frank Somerville gets his new deal at Channel 2 just wait what the new Dan Ashley contract becomes. Lots of Mickey Mousies.

It's a funny thing; even after all the happy talk coming from the CEO in Atlanta, after coming out of bankruptcy, after attempts at hiring real programmers... at the end of the day, Cumulus is still hamstrung by an insistence on centralized control: If they wanted to, they could have found the money to give Jack to spend on KGO; after all they're now talking about buying MORE radio stations: there are assets available. What's really afoot is, they don't want to let anyone do anything: A&G are going to remain because they're under contract. Same with Chip. Not sure about Ethan, but for whatever reason -- even though everyone hates his show -- nobody is allowed to do anything about it, unless it improves the bottom line. That's why the evening repeat of his lame-ass show remains as well; it's free noise, and they don't even have to pay an engineer (it's automated).
ReplyDeleteStephen Curry is a great basketball player; however, he was given a free pass with his views on the moon landing. Frankly, it was a foolish statement.
ReplyDeleteI think people say the same thing about you weekly, monthly, yearly when you bring her up..."Seriously, Lisa Argen?". I wonder how she gets this much pub from Rich...
ReplyDeleteIn the words of Arsenio Hall, "Things that make you say hmmmmm"
Steph Curry thinks the 1969 moon landing was a hoax.
ReplyDeleteSome people are just plain stupid.
A's to KSFO does make sense but I think they want to purchase an "AM" signal so they can produce their own programming...this may seem wild but what if thet purchase AM 1490, 1500 and 1510 combine it to one AM frequency...you will have a strong presence on the dial...
ReplyDeleteHello, Steph was just kidding!!! You really believe that?
ReplyDeleteThe A’s need the strongest signal available like AM 860, KTRB. The A’s have fans, but being on an FM station in the Bay Area and an AM radio network of 5,000 watt stations or limits their coverage.
ReplyDeleteWhich is one that is Kyle? All pics list the the top picture. The other one looks like she works in Soux Falls...
ReplyDeleteHolmes doesn't have the class to pull off Marina chick. She looks more like warmed-over death metal wanna be.
DeleteSteph was joking about many things in a podcast. If you heard the whole podcast you would have recognized the context. Before you jump, remember the Onion.
ReplyDeleteYup. He admitted he was joking. But he was going to take NASA up on their offer to have him visit them. Kyrie Irving said the world is flat.
DeleteThe backlash and media coverage wasn't expected. His handlers probably told him to get in front of it before he loses brand value.
DeleteDo you really think he was "joking"? Or do you think maybe just maybe his handlers said "Hey, you're going to lose brand value here".
Don't believe everything you hear in the media...
Michael Douglas hated it when Karl Malden called him "buddy boy."
ReplyDeleteThe A's were on KSFO for much of the 1980's, including their last World Series championship in 1989.
ReplyDeleteKyla Grogan/Lisa Argen...Weather forecasters are so much better in Europe, and the further east you go, the better they get: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o993MGBLGJg
ReplyDeleteSteph will now likely shill for the Flat Earth crowd. He should stick to basketball which is his forte.
ReplyDeleteLisa Argen has real knees too. She needs to cover those bad knees up.
ReplyDeleteThe A’s and KSFO? Well I live in the east bay and I cannot receive a clear signal on my house radio. Used to before the 2016 election......did someone opposed to the programming on KSFO sabotage the tramission line??
ReplyDeleteI worked with Sherry Brown in the 90s. The guy who hired me warned me about her. I'm still pulling the knife out of my back.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who runs with a "tweet" or something said on a podcast without verifying the context should be fired. Of course, publishing initially, and walking it back would sacrifice a bunch of clicks.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I watched Cecilia Vega anchor all of GMA today while Amy is off. However, Ginger Zee and Lara Spencer often wears much sexier clothes than HH.
ReplyDeleteKG=HH
ReplyDeleteRiver Island in Lathrop.
ReplyDeleteGary Radnich's future residence once his KNBR salary is renegotiated.
Richie take as much time off as you want, I hope you’re banging that Mandy chick
ReplyDelete> Seriously, Kyla Grogan?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Lisa Argen? You seem to have an obsession with this mediocrity whose incompetent husband got employed at KRON only because she told them they were a "package deal." She's nothing special, and he's an idiot.
Ridiculous Wikipedia(bs propaganda) December 2nd for Ray’s Death? If it was Dec. 2 where was he alive from 11 Nov(11/11 to 12/2?) It would the better erroneous date of 11/11 though that too would require some data documented?

ReplyDeletewhole week?, a new record, bet
the industry is relaxing, lmmfao
I was just watching Last Man Standing on 20 when they cut to circle 7 news to tee up 9pm headlines. The dork news guy was monkeying with his cell phone instead of...his job, so the screen went black. Epic fail.
