Exactly. KRON has NO decent anchors to replace any of the talent they had. They can't be serious. The rest of their "anchors" couldn't anchor a damn boat let alone a tv newscast. Not one.
KRON's been putting Liviakis front and center as the face of the station in their promos so to cut her loose now seems rather counterintuitive. And say they did dump Liviakis and Heenan...KRON doesn't have anyone waiting in the wings to fill in the holes...even if they do pair Lodes with Waldman they have nobody who they can plug into Waldman's old spot and they have nobody they can plug into Heenan's weekend gig.
They have a weather lady who I saw anchor one day and she was better than the usual anchor. Do tv stations do those viewer focus groups anymore to decide who viewers like?
Whenever I watch Kron in the early evening Vicki Livakis has a fantastic delivery and especially with Cathrine Heenan. If these two are leaving soon, Darya Folsom should move to the early evening slots or bring Heather Holmes from KTVU.
Why would Heather jump on the Titanic in mid-plunge? Darya is the one they should get rid of. I don't know how that shrew keeps her job. Her former cluckbuddy isn't there anymore.
If KRON isn’t careful they could end up as the dumping ground graveyard for old fart news anchors who are hanging on.
They’ve recently employed, currently do employ, or have expressed a desire to employ: Pam Moore, Catherine Heenan, Kenneth Wayne, Vicki Liviakass, Darya Folsom, Frank Somerville, etc. At this rate they should hire Julie Haener and Dunnis Richmond.
All of those anchors all good are gone. Replaced by 12 year old looking fill ins who can't pronounce any local names or towns. I'll take the smarter older anchors any day.
KRON could save a ton of money by moving out their current studios and operating out of a local convalescent home. Most of their anchors are old farts anyway so it would make sense for any number of reasons, plus they’d have an endless supply of ‘new’ talent to choose from since they seem to favor 80+ year old hangers on.
Why not? What should they do? National news? (There's CNN, MSNBC, Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC et al) International news? (RL, BBC, France1, Al Jazeera et al) Martian News? (ElonBroadcasting)
So…..basically…..get rid of the two best newscasters they have…..sounds like par for the course
ReplyDeleteExactly. KRON has NO decent anchors to replace any of the talent they had. They can't be serious. The rest of their "anchors" couldn't anchor a damn boat let alone a tv newscast. Not one.
DeleteThen the next one will be Darya Folsom, Grant Lodes and his wife, why?? They are too high pay at KRON too long.
ReplyDeleteUnwatchable Lodes and his crackpot wife. No thanks.
DeleteWaldman couldn't pronounce Auschwitz correctly on Holocaust Remembrance Day. That's right. Justine WALDMAN. Oy very! Gotta agree on the no thanks.
DeleteThe other day, Waldman referred to Pat Montandon as "he".

ReplyDeleteWhy the F is Heenan even on weekends? Stupid. That weekday chick with the glasses is terrible.

DeletePerhaps freeing up money to pay Frank Somerville's salary demands? 🚫
ReplyDeleteVicki and Catherine "the Brain" are the two reasons I watch KRON. Credible, professional and of course beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNew management due at KRON any day now. Let's see an anchor shuffle! Who goes where Rich in your opinion?

DeleteHeenan needs to hang em up. She looks like she’s about 130 years old.
ReplyDeleteI like Heenan always have. Smart, sharp, knowledgeable. Like all anchors used to be.

ReplyDeleteAt this rate KRON should just wheel in their anchors on hospital beds to deliver the news.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. Their latest weather anchor is good but she must be in her 90s.
DeleteOn a side note the shows on CW are god awful.
ReplyDeleteHeenan is still there??? Not real easy on the eyes
ReplyDeleteIf Mibach is constipation man, Hennan is the female version. Always frowning, as if smiling hurt.
DeleteKRON still doesn't have a GM, Sales Dept gutted, station in red.
ReplyDeleteHow does Matt Rosenfeld Senior Regional VP keep his job.
KRON is still doing local news? Why?
ReplyDeleteWhy not? What should they do? National news? (There's CNN, MSNBC, Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC et al) International news? (RL, BBC, France1, Al Jazeera et al) Martian News? (ElonBroadcasting)
DeleteRead the room ladies. This is as good as it gets and you both are financially well off. Take the offer. You won't like the alternative.
ReplyDeleteWatch my words. If this happens they will replace Liviakis ans Heanan with the two air heads from Live in the Bay!
ReplyDelete@ 3:54 Yup, couldn't agree more, add Kyla Groga
ReplyDeleteSame Heenan, Liviakis and Grogan. That's the show they need. That's the winner.
DeleteThe problem with your videos, Rich, is you take 20 minutes to say four minutes worth of things.
ReplyDeleteStephanie Rothman? Upcoming anchor?
