Looks the same. Sounds the same. Still a majority of crappy reporters who look as if they just got off a Greyhound from Des Moines. The same amateurish K-TEL- looking news presence. The same, shitty, old music and sounders. The graphics, the teases; there is no such thing as an actual news story on KRON, just a quick summation and grainy video with MMJ's --KRON, for all I know, could have made "The Blair Witch Project.", similar camera angles and style.
Here's a major issue I have with KRON; they still look like a vanilla wafer news operation.
Ken Wayne has added ZERO buzz. Pam Moore looks tired and overwhelmed. There's nothing to look forward to or watch. It's all Dullsville at the perennial albatross. I'm being kind too. Maybe KRON should blow up everything and start over. It couldn't hurt.
KRON is stale, like a week-old tuna sandwich from Subway that's been in the back of the trunk of your car. KRON smells bad, like a body that's been reduced to remains discovered in a wooded area on Mount Tam. The stench won't go away and there's rotting flesh to boot. That is KRON.
Call the coroner.
"KRON, for all I know, could have made the Blair Witch Project" =hilarious. Thanks, Rich, you rock.

ReplyDeleteBut you keep coming back...
DeleteI wonder why Pam doesn't retire. She must have considerable coin in the bank by now. She's been doing this for 30+ years. She should kick back and drink mojitos by the pool.
ReplyDeleteMore good stuff. However, it would be nice if the so-called powers-to-be acted on these comments. There's one word that describes the local electronic media: mediocre.
ReplyDeleteKRON, KNTV, KPIX, the Chronicle, KNBR, the SF GIANTS, KABC...KTVU
ReplyDeleteRich Lieberman hates all of them. Why is this news?
I've been better production qualities from Wayne's World!
ReplyDeleteSOS. With KRON and here. Big scoop.
ReplyDeleteLove KRON's Local Approach to Bay Area News! No Frills Just Facts!
ReplyDeleteRatings are showing it too!
I remember the days when I'd visit small markets in Utah and Nevada and chuckle at their newscasts that looked like high school productions. It was sort of endearing, a bunch of reporters and on-air talent reaching for their dreams and taking it all so seriously. Now, I can't tell the difference when I turn on the TV in the once respected San Francisco market. With news at our fingertips every second of every day, I realized that I don't watch the 11pm for the news, I watch it for the Gong Show-ness of it all. Da Lin shows us that literally anybody can be on the air in the SF market. Andria Borba teaches us that stupid alliteration and overwrought cheap novel prose has a place in local news. Sal is proof that no longer does the phrase "you have a face for radio" hold up. Darya, ugh... she just makes me tired, reminds of the kids calling that one kid on the football team "tryhard", and not in a good way. Yeah, I just realized I don't watch the news for news anymore.
ReplyDeleteSay what you want about KRON4, they still have the best morning newscast.
ReplyDeleteDave Clark reading to a wall on 2, typical PIX style on 5, and weather & traffic every 7 minutes on 7. No, thanks.
I feel there has been a vast improvement on KRON4. Good personnel both in the studio and on the street. Give it a chance Rich.
Just gotta love that KRON On app!!!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about KRON morning news is the huge herpe on that weather dude's lower lip. You'd think someone would mention that he may want to see a Dr about that nastiness...big lip herpes are no bueno!
