Cuts Coming to ABC7

In The News – Page 2 – Iolani Palace

WHEN ABC has begun mass layoffs at some of its biggest properties, like ESPN, its owned and operated stations can't be far behind. So it comes as no surprise that KGO-TV is among a slew of O and O's about to get cut, cut and cut.

Yeah, great timing Disney, Merry Christmas.

*That was quite a laugh on the Cal basketball broadcast last night; my buddy, Andrew Pang informs me, PBP guy, Rich Cellini said after the basketball game, join "Leo La--Por-TAY" in progress. Not La-Port.

Ouch.

*Should be a hell of a exciting couple of weeks around LA and the Bay Area: layoffs, stay-in-place, Covid-19 outbreak intensifies --yeah, get out the vodka bottle, hurry, quick.

*Building a Better Bay Area" --yeah, only without you! Take a hike. Disney is so loving.

    1. Dangit, you took the words right out of my mouth. And her stupid "news" show. You could broadcast the test pattern during that time slot and get the same ad revenue, no doubt.

    1. Watch it. they'll chop Nicco and keep the rest of the morning zoo.

      Sze -- redundant. Lim has passed her by and I bet she is expensive.
      They have lots of weather anchors one of those might go.

    2. My guess would be those skewing more towards seniority and retirement age.

  3. I see where the suits at ABC are mimicking the GOP faction of congress. Just letting everyone know what these six and seven figure salaries creeps think of their rank and file counterparts.

  4. Do you have to fail a mental health evaluation to be on Bay Area TV in the morning? Darya, Laura, Michelle, Reggie, the Gaas jeez what did we do to deserve this pack?

  5. Somewhere there must be a graphic of Mickey Mouse the Mohel going around cutting, cutting, cutting.

  6. Get rid of Reggie Aqui for sure or else the station will go broke with high medical expenses. Next, that Columbian girl in the streets who cannot speak proper English on American TV.

  7. Maybe they'll get rid of their well fed GM. So far his only as accomplishment is co opting the women's Me Too movement to pursue his personal vendetta against a blogger. Guess you shouldn't have called him fat Rich. He's sensitive.

  8. This is what makes ABC 7 ND Tracey "Trixie" Watkowski #1! Cut people especially during the Holidays. Noise about letting Dan "Ash" Ashley go. Too old, too expensive, messy Divorce. Cut him keep (3) staffers?

  9. Please leave Reggie Aqui alone. There are some who like him. He keeps it lively in the morning. He sure is not boring.
