Kyla Grogan Apparently Leaving KTVU

I'M TOLD Kyla Grogan is LEAVING KTVU--nothing is official (or confirmed) but word is that Grogan sent an internal e-mail to staff this morning informing them she is done at Fox2.

No word on where Grogan is headed or reason(s) as to why she's suddenly leaving the weather dept., but several contacts tell me Grogan is fed up with the fractured, internal goings-on at the station and that runs directly to Amber Eikel, the detested ND who once again has LOST another valued on-air talent; someone not only loved and respected by staff, but also beloved by viewers.

  1. I have never understood her appeal to some viewers. She is an OK weather forecaster, but gives nothing special in her on-air delivery or presentation. I won't miss her.

    1. Hi Rosemary nice to see you here LOL!

    2. Rosemary is definitely in da house! Looks like she had some free time in between taking a trillion selfies and getting even more face-altering cosmetic procedures

    3. it definitely sounds like Rosemary wrote this comment. The word ‘performance’ is an interesting word choice and not one your casual viewer uses. Someone below said Rosemary teaches classes at SFSU. I looked it up on their website and sure enough she teaches a class called ‘Media Performance.’ Odd coincidence? Me thinks not.

    4. I agree. I guess it's just that some people have a thing for cougars.

    5. Let me help here. The appeal of Grogan is that she has a smokin hot body, seems very smart and actually has a personality unlike the rest of the weather people in this town. She's someone you'd want to have a beer with. Also when she's on she makes the other people on the show seem less boring. I don't know what it is but they seem more awake when Kyla's there.

  2. This clears the deck for Orozco...

    1. Orozco needs to stay exactly where she is, buried on weekend mornings and doing the occasional 4 and 7 pm news that no one even watches. Lord pray for us if she gets promoted into anything other than where she is now.

    2. Not gonna happen. Rosemary’s already had one report on her filed with HR. She’s paranoid and always looking over her shoulder.

    3. I agree with @2:45pm and 2:21pm. rosemary is cold as ice and not liked at all by her colleagues. She’s fake, disinterested, and she rubs people the wrong way. She has her own clothing line that she works on while she works and also rumor has it she teaches tv classes at San Francisco state university. Putting aside all the issues with the firm, any employer who sees an employee phoning it in isn’t going to invest in their professional growth.

    4. Rose Mary is washed up. She looks ghoulish on an HDTV. Her weather reports are awful. She dresses like she’s a 20something when in reality she’s probably pushing 55. This is what happens when you have crappy management, good talent leaves and you’re basically left with all the leftover crap.

    5. Rosemary is a really nice person. You're all such mean girls on this damn blog. I'm sorry the world has been unkind to you. Carry on spewing hate. Karma is as karma does.

  3. That sucks! I love Kyla she is hands down the best neurologist they have. Man what is going on at KTVU? That's really disappointing.

    1. Yeah. Kyla sure can diagnose multiple sclerosis with the best of them. She'll be missed.

  4. It's like KTVU is begging us all NOT to watch them anymore. I think I'm going to grant them their wish. I'm done with them. I don't know anything about their news director but I know that when good people are leaving one after another it's a sure sign of bad management no matter what business you're in. I wish her the best. Really liked watching her do the weather. She was the only one who didn't seem to be on another planet.

  5. Hint: In broadcasting, people leave jobs for other jobs or other things all the time.

    1. Hint: the number one reason employees cite for leaving an employer is their manager. Study after study shows this reason is cited more than pay, title, moon duties, commute, schedule, or anything else. So yeah, people are leaving ktvu ‘all the time.’ And do you blame them for not wanting to work at a house of horrors? Another undeniable fact: the attrition rate at the other Bay Area stations isn’t even remotely close to that of ktvu. Facts. Some hate it because they can’t debate it :)

    2. PREACH anonymous @6:37
      There will be many more leaving until they get rid of the toxic ND.

    1. Oh Rosemary you should really get off of here it's bad for your mental health.

  7. She wasn't anything great. No loss here.

    1. Kyla is great. Not even debatable. Good for her for getting out of a crappy station. Smart girl.

    2. 4:10 - Agreed. She made me realize how much Bill has lost it, and Rosemary wasn't even close to her. Tamayo is okay and not objectionable in any way, but he's someone Rich might describe as Melba toast. And then there's that weird guy in the mornings who whispers and acts like a creepy grandfather who's going to kill you in the attic.

  8. I've watched Kyla since she was on The Weather Channel. Gotta be honest, I've always thought she was too good for local news. Hope she's off to something bigger and better. Was so nice to have her here though.

  9. Come on KTVU! Now we're stuck with bumbling mumbling Bill all the time. I miss Kyla already. She's hot and smart. Hope she stays in the bay.

  10. On an unrelated note, I watched "The Four" on KGO today for the first time. Countess Sze is awful and the show is duller than a coma. You could put the test pattern on and it would be better.

  11. Agree with 4:47 Seems like local television stations are going the way of local radio stations, broadcasting more boring filler with little or no regard to quality or audience interest. More commercials and repeats broadcasts (CBS Evening News at 3:30 and 6:30.) Will prime time infomercials and shopping networks be far behind?

    1. Sadly no. And then TV will resemble the internet now, only you can't use an ad blocker. (I have three installed on my browsers, and still some ads sneak through.)

  12. Local TV news = one big meh. We need more drug commercials. Maybe being stoned on prescription drugs we think we need will get us through the crap on TV.

  13. BTW, The Game's radio signal is still choppy and sloppy. Fix it!

    1. @916 AM...Get satellite radio. There's no there there with the local radio stations. And you'll get some REAL MEATY CONTENT. No immature children gurgles similar to what the two mindless dingbats on KNBR deliver in the AM. Then again, hearing a gurgling baby is a lot better than the yakking from those two jokers.

  14. I think things will improve here locally ‘TV news-wise’ when Frank’s back on, shouldn’t be long now. His presence is greatly missed.

  15. ... and Willard/Dibs is trying mightily to challenge Papa/Lund as the most self-aggrandizing, juvenile local sports talk show.

  16. SJW Libs and bad hires killed KTVU. Dem women are easy to spot.
    They are overweight, ugly and feel entitled.This country is circling the bowl.

    1. Um, behind Trump at every rally were fat, white men and women who look like they just ate their 50th can of Chef Boyardee with a plastic sfork. Republicans have cornered the market on fat, white, ugly, stupid people. RME. Yeah, I'll wait while you look that up. Take your time finding that can opener.

  17. Very sad news. I stood to attention whenever Kayla delivered the weather. She comes across as classy and knowledgeable. The great legs were a bonus. Bill Martin and his prop black cat are annoying. I also enjoy the ever youthful Mark Tamayo. Does the guy age? He’s looked 26 years old for more than 30 years. He’s the Dick Clark of local news.

  18. I like watching KTVU but after hearing Kyla Grogan leaving abruptly I'm done. Rosemary Orozco is god awful and looks like plastic surgery done by a blind person.

    1. Couldn't agree more. When they brought on Kyla I said an extra prayer at night hoping to God that she was hired to replace Rosemary. Per usual, the good ones leave and all the leftover and undesirable garbage is left behind. And yes, whatever procedures she has undergone has left her looking gaunt and ghoulish (not said as an insult, but rather a simple statement of fact). I hope she slaps a humongous malpractice lawsuit on both her plastic surgeon and botox injector. What they've done to her is both sad and scary. Tragic and terrifying.

  19. Oh well. They Ms. Grogan go and they Roberta Gonzalez. Oh well. Not the greatest move.
