    2. Agree on this list. I would add Betty Yu to the hot list, not because she's great, but because she's good and capable. Bill Martin should also be on the NOT list.

    3. And hey while we're at it bring back Kyla Grogan to KTVU from KRON when Bill says sayonara! I was so mad when she left, at least she's still local.

    4. These lists are simply kooky. The caveat should say “Joe Schmoe (from San Bruno) likes these presenters”. We all have an opinion, but to rank em as who stays and who goes is just lame. I be neither Frank nor Otis

    5. Bailey O’Carroll is horrible. And she thinks she’s great as she lumbers her way through stiff writing and mispronounces names when she does her “specialty,” sports. That’s the irony — Dunning-Kruger in full force.

    6. Maybe bailey was drunk…..

  3. You've mentioned this many times already, but yes, KTVU was once my go-to news station growing up, and now they simply lack credibility both in front and behind the camera.

    1. Agree. Sadly the FOX-ification has kind of screwed KTVU. Those national reporters from FOX are damn awful and the coverage is crazy slanted.

    2. “Sadly the FOX-ification has kind of screwed KTVU.”

      It happened LONG before then. It’s been in decline for 25 years. Started after Fred retired and they appointed a bean-counting dweeb in his place. I was in the newsroom the day the announcement was made. There was a stony silence, and everyone looked down at the floor. No one clapped to welcome Andrew Finlayson. And then privately, everyone was talking about how we were all fucked now. We were.

    3. Kyla is a star at kron she needs to be moved with Vicki full time

  4. Fred Zehnder was great. Android Finlayson was a bean-counting dweeb who might shine compared to management now, but that's not saying much. Chimps could run a station better. As for Finlayson, he didn't understand *anything* about news other than ratings on charts that could be stared at on the computer, while he wonked off and got his office chair sticky.

    Leslie Griffith tried to point this out by Andrew hired legal eagles to make her take it down from her blog. She was going to write a book too. But as the man said, we've reached the point where the truth is liable and lies are protected speech. Andrew no doubt is cool with that.

    2. "La Monica" Peters is sexy

    4. Rosemary Orozco was once a model.

    5. @9:08 hahaha....funniest comment winner.

    6. La Monica gets credit for matching her eye shadow to her outfits. It’s uncanny. Purple eye shadow and purple top, yellow eye shadow matched with a yellow sweater etc. my wife thinks La Monica is wearing a wig. I’m not so sure.

    7. Tori Ganes needs to be added to the hot list

    8. > Rosemary Orozco was once a model.

      And Joe Biden was once able to speak complete sentences.

    10. “Rosemary Orozco was once a model.”

      Yeah, and Andrew Dice Clay was once an actor.

      Delete
    11. I’m not surprised Rosemary used to be a model. She still could be. She’s a very attractive woman with striking features. Roberto Gonzales on the other hand…

      Delete
    12. @5:22, yep, she also started her own business, so she's not just a meteorologist.

  6. I watch KGO 7 this morning and cannot believe Amanda Del Castillo was a total b$$$$ trying to take the entire spotlight on air putting down Dion Lim.

    1. Amanda strikes me as a bully when she was in school.

    2. Amanda is annoying AF cannot stand her!

      Delete
    3. It always looks/feels like there's tension with whoever Amanda anchors with. There's zero chemistry between her and Kristen today.

      Delete
    4. @11:27am agree its cringy

      Delete
    5. Actually, Amanda is a very nice woman. My son, who is special needs, got to meet her several years ago at a special needs talent show, and she couldn’t be sweeter. He has seen her several times since, and she is still as sweet as ever, remembering him every time.

    6. Nice but annoying

      Delete
    7. @5:00, off air, she may be the biggest sweetheart, but on air, she doesn't seem like the nicest person. I watched her this week at 11:00 and there couldn't have been more awkward interactions with Dion and Kristen. I think she's one of those woman that simply don't get along with other women.

    8. Agree just looked up her social media
