| Christina Loren |
A Longtime KPIX contact confirmed what I have said all along: They never do anything out of the box; they don't act, they react. They (and by extension, CBS) have all the creative juices of week-old, canned tuna fish.
They're about to lose Paul Deanno, as I reported earlier today.
Deanno's leaving leaves plenty of rumors about who will replace him and I say it's probably someone in the bleachers like a fill-in or out-of-market melba toast that will be cheap and manageable which is how they like 'em at CBS and other corporate locales.
THIS MUCH IS CERTAIN: they'll probably want another woman and that makes sense --you can see a woman on TV even if it's the damn weather and that'll never ever hurt the demo department. It's a common denominator.
I'D love to see them hire ex-NBC Bay Area personality, Christina Loren, who would light up the night and screen and make for instantaneous buzz and traction. It's such a natural choice but they don't have the creative chops at 855 Battery. They'd just as soon go with a boring, uninspiring, pickle and settle for dried oatmeal as opposed to someone exciting and enthusiastic, not to mention monumentally beautiful and smart Loren, last I checked was on some rodeo cable outlet.
Loren has mass appeal and genuine popularity --and not just because she's glorious to watch and provide the evening weather. I mean, duh! She has personality up the ying-yang and not only is beloved by men, but a lot of women too. Did you hear that CBS? Probably not.

Tourrettes?
DeleteWho cares.....anyone that can read a teleprompter for 2 minutes will work.
ReplyDeleteActually meteorologists don't read teleprompters.
DeleteIf CL were to set up shop at PIX, it will have to wait until her new bundle-of-joy says it's ok. Her Twitter page timeline shows off her baby bump that indicates another month before she becomes a mother. Time for Countess Griego to decide whether or not she wants CLs obvious sparkle running around the building.
ReplyDeleteLoren also is very pregnant and will give birth within weeks. She'll be out of action for months after. KPIX won't wait that long to put a replacement on the air.
ReplyDeleteWHOS THE DADDY?
DeleteThat's why I never hired newly married women. I figured they'd get pregnant and the business would be on the hook paying for maternity leave.
DeleteBrian Hackney should be the permanent weather anchor, better than working on weekends reporting and weather.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how Hackney felt about the new weather guy they brought in--he does a competent, thorough job like Hackney used to. And is that a new wig he's been sporting lately?
DeleteI think the loss of Deanno is a significant one. He's talented. Hey Rich, you were indirectly mentioned in the SJ Mercury News profile of Dan Ashley. "A Bay Area blogger wrote this..." etc. Why your name was not cited I don't know.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen KTVUs leggy blonde bombshell Kyla Grogan on air in over a week. Perhaps she's changing channels? She's a CBS veteran, I watched her on CBS New York City. She should be doing more than filling in for Bill Martin that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteWe love her at KTVU! Please oh please don't steal her away. We need her over here and she can do anything. On behalf of the producing and weather team we're beggin ya NOOOOOO KPIX
DeleteShe's not a "veteran." She's a freelancer, and you haven't seen her because she's not a KTVU employee. She's just a day-hire who fills in when someone's out and they can't rotate one of the other stooges into the slot.
DeleteI said she's a veteran of CBS stations as in she's worked at them before in other bigger cities. Jesus you people are brain dead on here. Love the use of quotes to emphasize what your brain can't process. Stooge on dude.
DeleteWeather Girl Barbie? Really? They can do better than that.
ReplyDeleteTheir live shots aren't even live. KPIX is worse than KRON.
ReplyDeleteShe kicked ass on that hurricane stuff a couple weeks ago. I was watching that morning and she was really good. Smart, hot and looks like a Barbie doll, yeah that works for me and anybody else with a penis. I vote Kayla.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a penis but i like watching her too because she's very clear and gives a lot of information. Also I love her dresses!
DeleteIf you think she’s going to move the needle at all, you’re nuts. Personnel moves among TV stations’ news teams in the Bay Area in 2019 is nothing more than rearranging deck chairs. Who actually watches these shows who doesn’t require assistance wiping their chins and changing their diapers (Pampers or Attends)?
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you need a hug ��
DeleteWell clearly YOU watch these shows. Take a break and wipe your chin Angry Andy.
ReplyDeleteWell-said.
DeleteWeather Girl Barbie? Only if Mattel wanted to model a doll after someone who looks like she has more miles on her than a bus Muni uses on the 14 Mission line.
ReplyDeleteHold up. Have you actually watched this lady?

If you think she looks old, you might be a pedo. She's a hottie. Straight up.
Can they get rid of Mary Lee too? Even Stan Bunger is better at presenting the weather.
ReplyDeleteUgh, CL was bad. She's a fake as her boobs.
