The Emma Goss Intrigue (Sort Of) at KTVU; Roberta Gonzales Gets More "Me, Me, Meeish" During Fox2- Storm Live Shot; Jenny Seelig Tries to Reinvent Eric Thomas on KCBS; Meh; KRON Worried About Vicki Liviakis; Walters' Passing and Circle7 Dumbing Down; Dan Ashley Mum As 2023 Debuts; Ronn Owens Update; Missing Old K-101 Buddy, Chris Edwards; Tuesday Rundown

AT KTVU they are wondering aloud, what's the deal with Emma Goss? The voice, the bizarre disposition, the entire package.

Is it real or is this woman crying out for help.

I have watched Goss and can't figure it out yet just like I can't figure out KTVU the past few years. Help me.

Goss Extra: rumor mill: she may be headed, (or already has) gone to a new station in Bay Area.

One thing for sure: at least Countess Goss isn't Roberta Gonzales. That alone should be a positive for Goss.

*SPEAKING of Roberta: I don't know what's worse. Her shouting during a live shot in the rain the other night or KTVU's desperate attempt to justify her phony shtick on Twitter. Talk about two entities in dire need of a reality check.

*Jenny Seelig, the amateur ND at cratering KCBS has doubled down on Eric Thomas. Now she's trying to reinvent him, style wise.

Jenny is attempting to inject Eric with a personality, problem is, he has none. You can't make something that doesn't exist. Thomas is an average radio anchor, at best. He'd be perfectly fine on a Saturday from 4-7 PM but Morning Drive? Are you kidding me?

Seelig is doing everything possible to see Thomas was worth the effort --even though he's terrible as an AM radio driver, about as interesting as a Dublin Arbys. Everyone at KCBS knows this except Jenny Seelig who obviousy didn't get the memo.

Thomas's co-anchor, Margie Shafer, doesn't help matters because she too isn't a morning personality but what else is new at the alleged all-news radio depot? MORE COMMERCIALS

Jenny still hasn't replaced Stan Bunger, Susan Leigh Taylor, Steve Bitker, Larry Charoni, John Evans --in fact, the only person that KCBS hasn't trotted out to fill in is Gumby.

I HARP on KCBS because I cannot fathom how something so sacred, so profound, so once dynamic has settled into the laughingstock of irrelevency its become. Who is responsible for this? Jenny Seelig is and Audacy doesn't give a damn which might explain its penny stock status.

*KRON suits are supposedly worried about the longevity of one of their most beloved and respected anchors, Bay Area veteran and gorgeous Vicki Liviakis. To which I say to KRON, you're about to screw up anpother hidden gem. Vicki is superb, a TOTAL PRO, an elegant retro news reader who is at the TOP of her game. She doesn't scream and yell and she's polished. Her 60's status? Who the hell cares, only you, KRON. *ADD Liviakis: yeah, I said she's gorgeous. She is and she's getting more beauful by the year. You gotta problem with that? Sue me.

*My rip job of KGO (ABC7) over the Barbara Walters passing had to do with on-air spontaneous tributes, or in Cirrcle7's case, the lack of such. I don't count Twitter/Instagram postings --KGO is an ABC O and O, the network that Walters spent almost her entire career and define its legacy. Sorry, but social media postings don't count in my book. KGO's women anchors, even its weather anchors could have acknowledged Walters passing the old-fashioned way: with an on-air salute. Dignified and entirely classy and appropriate, I guess a foreign concept at 900 Front.

*Dan Ashley could END all this speculation once and for all by leveling with a certain media guy, locally, about his future at ABC7 but Ashley seems to think his contract status is none of your (Bay Area) business. But it is. When you read the news and are invited inside everyone's home for 30 years, you become defacto family. It's not the gospel but it has teeth. Ashley doesn't like to talk about his personal business but in a sense, it's our business too. We have a right to care and we do, Danno.

*While I had my differences over the years in the manner in which he comported hiumself and Cumulus affairs, no one wishes anyone ill health and pain and suffering, including me--I bring this up as I hear former KGO Radio great, Ronn Owens, is having a tough time and feeling the effects of old age. Owens is spending retirement life in Arizona.

*The other day/night, on New Years Eve., I was thinkingh of the greatr Chris Edwards, a K-101 radio legend (who passed a decade ago) --he had me on his oldies show and he did a special NYE live broadcast in 1984 and I also guested. Chris Edwards was a super pro and an utter delight, a real SF character and beloved guy with a heart of gold and just cool to be around. Miss him dearly.
