Based on a first impression, she should be a good fit at 5 and with Bay Area viewers. It will be interesting to see what the station does with her at 10 PM. Apparently, they have big plans. Otherwise, they would not waste a major new hire on what, up until now, has been an offhand attempt to glean viewers in the most inexpensive way possible. The duopoly's 10 PM show has a pretty decent lead-in of (relatively) younger viewers. That group evaporates as soon as the news comes on. If PIX can figure out how to keep them watching... or, perhaps, consuming content online (without the marketing department bloat that gives page views at the expense of user satisfaction and time spent viewing)... then not only with the station have a successful newscast, but it could also be a model for every other station trying to solve the problem of an aging viewership. One step at a time, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-23105623494169517142014-06-12T12:14:05.120-07:002014-06-12T12:14:05.120-07:00Paul "Too Tall" Deanno.Paul "Too Tall" Deanno.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-49213725429547192962014-06-12T10:31:25.105-07:002014-06-12T10:31:25.105-07:00Whose the 'basketball player' she's ta...Whose the 'basketball player' she's talking to?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-21394570706998307292014-06-12T02:59:03.333-07:002014-06-12T02:59:03.333-07:00It is the girl next door and the vamp who get'...It is the girl next door and the vamp who get's any guy she wants.

It works, obviously, for KQED-FM and KCBS / KFRC-FM together.<br />I'd voite for a KGO-FM.<br /><br />What to do with NASH potential in SF? Nothing. Been there done that with country before and that idea sank. Fix the failing flagship first, then "experiement." If it were to fail again as country in San Francisco, Cumulus might as well toss in the towel. <br /><br />Thoughts / opinions?<br /><br />Also, hearing rumors that Clear Channel wants to sunset Rush Limbaugh's show from it's station all over the country. Interesting, since Clear Channel, through its Premier Networks division, owns the Rush Lim-pole goings on. Is it because of El Rushbo and the non-recovered flight of sponsors as a way for Clear Channel to make much needed debt service money for placing the show on other stations? Many, incidentally, that still pay BIG affiliate $$$ monthly to Clear Channel for the right to air the program on a long term basis. CC is $20-billion in debt with big payments do next year. As a sales vehicle, has Rush lost his luster prior to new contract time?.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-68281441620570169742014-06-11T21:08:11.534-07:002014-06-11T21:08:11.534-07:00For a station you supposedly stopped listening to ...For a station you supposedly stopped listening to long ago, you sure mention KFOG a lot in this blog.
