Always professional, always prepared (one of the few I've worked with who didn't need a writer or producer, though I've done both for him on occasion). <br /><br />And yes, Eric Thomas is KGO's gem, though management isn't wild about him for some reason, and put a lot of pressure on him. I can't understand why.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-16925893761616869812016-09-19T21:56:47.874-07:002016-09-19T21:56:47.874-07:00Your comments are right on point-are you sure you’...Your comments are right on point-are you sure you’re on the right blog?CalGiantsWarriorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650982005916998811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-73688144014570895892016-09-19T18:26:12.246-07:002016-09-19T18:26:12.246-07:00WTF?

Most of the time that's a good thing, since I miss PW and have always liked Hackney way back from his days doing weekend weather at KGO. Thing is, that's a mighty fine line to walk. Overdo it just a teensy bit and you come across like a smug holier-than-thou Cal Poly grad whose claim to fame before Eye On The Bay was being Weird Al's roommate in college. Do it right, though, in that way PW would always do the circular file at the end of every KRON newscast, and it's gold...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-37129611060409538272016-09-19T13:38:32.257-07:002016-09-19T13:38:32.257-07:00KGO would be best served if they made morning news...KGO would be best served if they made morning newsroom reporter, Jessica Castro, to evenings in place of Sze and have Sze do mornings.

They were closing one newscast this weekend, and he suddenly pulls out his cell phone and announces that he was looking up "Julie Andrews." He commented on her life/death status, which was awkward as hell. Put in a clearly uncomfortable situation, Goodrich quickly directed the focus to the closing shot of The City's night lights and ended the newscast.

This morning at 7:07 AM they asked the typical silly "view question" and put up a placeholder graphic with a phrase similar to "Viewer question goes here..." repeated three times. This obvious error stayed up on screen for several seconds before someone figured out the error. Pretty basic stuff isn't it? Minor in the bigger scheme of things but still makes KTVU look amateurish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-23988517077660604372016-09-19T12:39:01.744-07:002016-09-19T12:39:01.744-07:00I always make sure to watch the Saturday and Sunda...I always make sure to watch the Saturday and Sunday KPIX newscasts, and their straightforward quality is a pleasure to see. I think maybe the weekend shows are often more enjoyable everywhere because these are not the main "news teams" and don't have to be cool or relevant or hip and probably not so up-tight about ratings -- or their own standing. They can simply read the news. Allen Martin always seems to wish he were doing something else.Nick Faitosnoreply@blogger.com
