KTVU in Denial over Retro 10 O'clock News Legacy

33 comments:

  1. Claudine Wong doesn't pull viewers in......just blahhh in general. Betty Yu is simply not news anchor material. Her sweet spot is news reporting. She's not great at it, but better than most.

    1. Just saw a Youtube doc on how people dislike Asian people not fitting "their ideal anchors", yes, I concur, it's true

    2. @9:42 Purely Asian hate, my Wife is Chinese, gets those evil eyes even from my relatives, they don't understand God made different races but underneath we're the same color

  2. KTVU will never recover from what Amber Eikel did to it. Sliding downhill daily.

    1. Add LA to her resume. She will be overseeing both Seattle and LA FOX stations now.

    2. Those poor bastards in LA have not idea how awful it's about to be and how many people she'll put out of work.

    3. The first to go will be the rapping weatherman that works nights 😆

  3. Hey Rich, after bitching forever how awful KTVU is, you don’t get to complain that now it’s worse.

    1. All Rich does is complain! He can't help himself.

  4. "Just by accident I was watching the 10 O'Clock News on KTVU..."

    Because no one will admit to watching it intentionally! :-D

  5. Somerville, Haener, Martin, Ibañez...I'd hardly call those four clowns magic.

  6. This is Frank Somerville. I also bear some responsibility for not taking care of my issues until now. I let down the station… my co workers. And the viewers. It’s very difficult for me to forgive myself for that. Thankfully in now TOTALLY clean. I’m in the gym six days a week. And best of all I’m finally able to make amends.

    1. Frank if that is you get a job in Fresno if anybody wants to hire you. How come you are not working?

    2. Frank: God forgives always; In your case you went too far even when KTVU bent over backwards to "forgive" you, just be glad you didn't kill anybody on your drunken rampage

    3. Stay strong Frank!!

    4. Frank S is so overated no emotion and stiff presentation robotic delivery How he lasted so long in major market is a mystery and should be lucky he does not need to work or accept a job in smaller market and salary if serious about a cumback?

  7. KTVU 10 o clock news brought to by Imodium AD. Consumed by our anchors before every broadcast

  8. DEI at its best ! From managers to anchors. Employees not taking their jobs seriously as DEI candidates
    Richmond, on the other hand. Took every day at work seriously. DEI not needed for him. Walk the walk & dont expect a promotion. Just because.

  9. They still have Tom Vacar and Like It or Not though. Seriously, I think the anchors and reporters are much older than at the other stations. I guess older folks like them might be the majority of tv news watching demographic I suppose. Some of them must have had plastic surgery. I prefer seeing younger on-air “talent”. Somerville was the exception as he was and per him here still fit.

    1. I will admit not that it matters but KTVU has some of the most naturally prettiest female reporters :
      Heather Holmes
      Cristina Rendon
      Gasia Mikaelian
      Rosemary Orozco
      Crystal Bailey
      Betty Yu
      Allie Rasmus
      Amanda Quintana
      Pam Cook
      Jana Katsuyama

    2. I agree, look at the other FOX stations in the group….then again I did like the 8pm streaming “Take 2” last night with Cristina and Frank. That’s the best banter I’ve seen on KTVU for once. It wasn’t forced or trying too hard like Gasia. All natural.

    3. You forgot Tory Ganes

      Delete
    4. @12:59 Crystal Bailey is quite pretty. She has this glow since returning from maternity leave.

      Delete
    5. Gasia on for 2 reason and they are between her shoulders and waste

  10. Now they have some weather person from the valley named Devin Trubey. Ugh.

    1. Just saw Devin this morning during the 8am hour….She’s worse than Zoe Mintz on PIX. Stale and monotone. You’d think they would do better and try and change directions and hire someone else more pleasing. Then again they hired Roberta Gonzales….

      Delete
    2. Maybe we will see Less of Roberta Gonzalez so all cannot be that bad.

      Delete
    3. I like professor Mintz

      Delete
    4. 8:36. I share the sentiment. She has quite an impressive resume and accolades. I think the Midwestern accent to which some are not accustom to.

      Delete
    5. Roberta Gonzalez needs to be retire.

      Delete
  11. 3:28 & 2:01. Ass-clowns. She's a fill-in. You idiots don't like it? Don't watch. Think you can do better? Get your ass down to the station and convince them to give you an audition. Zoe Mintz was an adjunct professor, which means you have to have held an advanced degree to teach. Got one of them? Yeah. Didn't think so. Have a Happy 4th Bert & Ernie!

  12. Can’t stand Roberta, don’t watch KTVU you anymore. KPIX and Zoe now.
