Thursday Happy Hour; Crappy KNBR Midday; KTVU Love Birds Mark Ibanez and Heather Holmes; So Too KRON's Ken Wayne Cathy Heenan; Dion Lim to Kris Sze: ":Who are You?" ; PIX ND, White Honeymoon Over; KCBS New Digs on Kearney

THURSDAY

Midday mildew: KNBR's HORRID 10 -6 CRUMMY/LOUSY alleged "sports-talk" barf-a-thon with BORING, non-funny, no-sports talk yahoos-- Greg Papa, John Lund, Tom Tolbert and Adam, "Copres" Copeland. A hodgepodge of nothing burgers and a new PD, Copes, who GIGGLES and cackles and gets paid fo it. Nothing else? Just outright, AWFUL!

*Copeland is a PD like I'm a 49ers running back.

*Heather Holmes annd Mark Ibanez, KTVU's LOVE rendevouz at work, again and apparently not slowing down.

*Speaking of LOVE, stalwarts, Ken Wayne and Catherine Heenan? OH MY!

*Those LOVEY-DOVEY KQED high-end MGRS were seen cust0m tushy at Perry's on Union and it was a sight to behold. I'm sure the expense account was useful, humn.

*Now, Dion Lim won't even LOOK at Kristen Sze at KGO and her ABC7 buds t work are in FULL AGREEMENT!

*Consensus from an industry wonk: "The fact 'Brian Copeland is new D at KNBR bought '95.7 The Game a full one-year reprieve." Ough!

*KPIX honeymoon with ND, Lisa White now OVER and while the souls at 855 Battery are still supportive, White's 'tude and PIX's so-so numbers are not so nice and she isn't either.

*KCBS moved into new digs on Kearney Street and that won't save The Shit Show.

*Most OVERRATED tonsil at KCBS: the mass irritating Patti Reising.

  1. Ibanez should date a Peg (short for Peggy) to he might explore his desires fully. She'd have pegger duty

  2. Rich you are shooting the sitting ducks first - KNBR is pure mind-rot, all day long from 6am to 10pm. Those of us who love sports quit listening to the beer rating, MILL VALLEY loving, Booger picking, stupid jock talk long ago. I hated the irascible Pete Franklin but he was 1 million times better than these morons behind the mic.

  3. Dion Lim hasn’t been missed during her leave. KGO is hoping she leaves so they can 86 her salary.

    1. Here's hoping she stays away for good.

  4. 4:32, Absolutely. the mid 90's with Radnich, Franklin and Barbieri. At the time we had no idea how good we had it. Not to mention Gene Burns, Dr Wattenberg, and Ray Taliaferro over at KGO, and of course the great Alex Bennett at KMEL, KQAK, and Live 105.. now we have a Copes? no thanks I will stick to podcasts

    1. I agree.
      KGO was also great.
      There was Rick Chase, Michael Erickson, and many orhers on the FM side.
      I mosly listened to KCBS, KSFO, KNBR, and KGO AM in the 80s and 90s.

    1. Her father was WWE (WWF) all time great manager, booker and color commentator, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Knew how to expertly play the heel role.

      Delete
    2. I assume you're joking Will. The only connection she has to Bobby Heenan is just happening to have the same last name

      Delete
    3. @11:27 Just fact checked you, according to Wikipedia no way Bobby Heenan is her pop, also age wise don't coincide, I like to have what you're taking, must make you high as heck

  6. I love Heather Holmes on her new KTVU 730 show. She looks great, reads news well and does first rate interviews. It is now the best news show around and I have not watched 2 at 10 since it started. She really is the best anchor in the Bay now.

    1. Yea, I like the new 730 cast too. Not a Heather fan before but now she has grown on me so I DVR it and watch after Wheel.

      Delete
    2. I used to sit directly across from heather. There is NO ONE in the news room who works harder than her. I have massive respect for her.

      Delete
    3. She seems focused, reliable and positive.

  7. Did anyone notice no more IN DEPTH Sunday mornings? At least not in the last two weeks, and if so what a shame for the best program on KCBS is now gone. What a waste of a station.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The fired the IN DEPTH host this summer and he was the brains behind it. So the only local news station cannot even put together a half hour one topic feature any more? So 50 minutes of commercials an hour isn't enough I guess.

  8. Mark Ibanez really gets around! Last I heard he was wining and dining Lisa Argen from abc7 at Marin Joe’s (more than once).

    1. Mark IbaƱez is a puny little man striving to reach the table from his high chair. He is neither God’s gift to women, nor the savior of mankind. He is a has been sports news reader, with no chops. Otherwise likely a pleasant elf and gleeful kook.

      Delete
  9. I’m good friends with mark. He’s not meeting heather. He’s not dining with Lisa argen. People INCLUDING rich are just making this up. All of you should be ashamed. Mark is happily married and his wife is an absolute angel!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Righhhhhht. Happily married men don’t skirt chase and practically fall at the feet of any woman who looks their way.
      But yeah, keep telling yourself he’s happily married. If only it were true.

      Delete
    2. Mark is a dirty dog. He’s always been that way. His never ending penchant for pursuing ladies is well known and indisputable after all these decades. He’s not a one woman type of guy, which doesn’t make him a bad person, but just a dirty dog.

      Delete
    3. If this is Frank, I hope his alibi is not he was out drinking with you!

      Delete
    4. 3:25. Married women do the same thing. So why bother? To quote Mathew Fox in "Bone Tomahawk". Smart men don't get married?

  10. "Heather Holmes annd Mark Ibanez, KTVU's LOVE rendevouz at work, again and apparently not slowing down."

    I just threw up in my mouth.

  11. Are Mark and Julie Haener still dating?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Apparently not. Sounds like he upgraded to Heather Holmes.

      Delete
  12. Serious question since Mark is pushing 70: can he still get it up?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 11:30 AM How in the Sam Hill would Rich ever possibly know the answer to that question? It's not something one just brings up in passing, after talking about the weather.

      Delete
  13. KTVU should dump Haener and snag Dion Lim for half the price. Lim and Mibach would be a great duo.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Mibach and Lim? I’m pretty sure their viewership would drop down to the single digits at that point, which probably isnt much of a drop from where they are now with Mibach and Sumo wrestler Greg Lee taking turns anchoring with a rotating cast of nothing burger female anchors.

  14. Has someone taught Dion she’s supposed to wipe her ass after she goes #2? They say old habits die hard but you think she’d learn at some point.

    1. For Dion it could be a cultural thing. I once worked with someone who took a shower once every few weeks, if that. He was in the US on a work visa and he'd tell us that he grew up in a part of the world where water was extremely scarce and taking a shower was a luxury.
      So even though he was now in America, it was hard for him to change his mindset when for most of his life taking a shower wasn't part of daily life and access to water was reserved for only the most critical needs.

      Delete
    2. First Haener and now Heather. Sounds like Mark has mastered the art of playing outside of his league. Good for him.

      Delete
    3. This has nothing to do with a 'cultural thing.' Dion is a woman in her 40's who was born in the United States, has only ever lived in this country, and is one step away from a national assignment with a major news network. So, no, this isn't a cultural thing. She knows better.

      Delete
    4. 4:29, Empress Ming Sze is that you again with another tacky hit job?

      Delete
    5. Do adults actually do that, not wipe? Probably stain your clothes, stink up the place, and feel uncomfortably moist till you take a shower and dry off I guess. This must be a hit post from Sze who is probably the same ethnicity/heritage if that is even relevant to people born here.

      Delete
    6. Dion looks like she just crapped her pants in the pic Rich chose to use for this article. Very funny!

      Delete
    7. Dion gets paid a shit ton of money. She needs to hire a professional ass wiper, a ‘groomer of the stool’ if you will.

      Delete
    8. @ @4:29, 7:39, 12:30, 9:40, 11:33, 6:31 OK, Empress Ming SZE, your poop don't stink

  16. @3:41 Burger female anchors? None of the female anchors are fat…unless that has a new meaning?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I believe 3:41 meant "nothingburger" as in nothing special or remarkable about them.

  17. According to the interwebs (so you know it's true), Mark Ibanez is 66 and Heather Holmes is 36. The cut-off rule for dating is half your age plus 7. Mark is in clear violation of the May/December dating code.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yes to answer your question this is Frank. And so you know I haven’t had a drink in 159 days. I have a sponsor. I go to five aa meetings a week. I workout six times a week. And I’ve lost 25 pounds of fat. I know weigh 185 and it’s solid muscle. So please no more stupid jokes about me drinking. Those days are over. And all these rumors about mark are wrong. Mark is a great guy. He’s also stood by my side this whole time. And that means the world to me.

    1. This is the real Frank S. While I appreciate the sentiment and your attempt to paint me in a good light, please do not post comments purporting to be me or from me. When I feel so inspired, I share my thoughts on my Instagram and Facebook pages. Also, I know Rich personally, and if want to share information on this site, I’ll reach out to him directly, as I’ve done many times in the past. I will never post an anonymous comment.

      Delete
    2. I love how 8:15 PM purports to be Frank Somerville and posts an anonymous which includes the following line: “I will never post an anonymous comment.”

      Oh the irony.

      Delete
    3. 8:15 PM, I never saw you post anything under Frank including now. I choose to remain anonymous like most do, as seemingly you. Hoping you recover fully and then give another tv news spotlight interview with the whole truth then, including the cause of your abhorrent acts in Berkeley.

      Delete
  19. Hey 815 I don’t know if you’re trying to be funny or clever but you’re neither. Stop pretending to be be me. God the people on this site are pathetic.

    Replies
    1. Let’s try this once again.
      This is Frank. Again. I respectfully ask that you all refrain from leaving comments purporting to be from me. I appreciate your support and well-wishes, but posting comments as me is strange and unsettling.
      Rich, moving forward, if I choose to leave a comment on your site, I’ll send you a follow-up text from my cell phone (the number that you know). I would ask that you not post any comment purporting to be from me unless you receive a text from me.

      Delete
    2. And funny? clever?
      Not sure why those words come to your mind when I ask that people, such as you, stop posting comments purporting to be me.

      Delete
    3. @9:58. Consider the source. Nuff said.

      Delete
  20. @8:15. You're full of shit! This is Bigfoot. I personally have hit the sauce with Frankie S. Dude is a legend in the woods, swear he has hollow legs. Word spread of his "come to Jesus" here in the forest and I tend to believe it. He went dark and not a peep for quite some time. Good for him! Gonna miss my drinking buddy I'll admit. It's all good, I got my little alien greys to hang with. Little fuckers insist on drinking lite beer. Fuck that shit! I'm the Squatch baby! I needs me some hard, nasty, tree leveling whiskey! Nothing better than being shitfaced and scaring the poo out of white liberal lost hikers. Peace out!

  21. Here’s the real twist, I am the REAL Frank Somerville. I’m flattered that so many of you want to be me. Love you all!

    1. Okay now that’s funny. From the REAL frank who can’t figure out how to post with his name to prove it’s him.

      Delete
    2. 2:31, if you’re the real Frank perhaps you could do what someone suggested above, which is to text Rich when you comment and ask that he not post any of these other BS comments.

      Delete
  22. All the commenters claiming to be Frank made for a good laugh

  23. Maybe I missed it on the vlogs but why no mention of Jocelyn Moran no longer with KPIX. Any ideas if she has a new gig.

  24. Major League Baseball owners vote to allow As to move to Las Vegas.
    Oakland once had 4 professional sports franchises.
    Now there are none.
