A talented woman who was liked by everyone. She ran the department's interns and had other important duties that funneled thousands of stories to Michael. She's worked at KGO for around 20 years and will be sorely missed. With no direct knowledge I'm guessing it's all about saving money by eliminating the position and not about Ricquel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-23302355538627031782016-10-05T23:13:40.581-07:002016-10-05T23:13:40.581-07:00Not true.

I worked under various male NDs (Daniel Webster, Andrew Finlayson, that guy who got fired in the late 90s at KRON for going to a journalism conference and spending all of it on a bar stool) who were equally large assholes--and equally reviled. On the contrary, I've found people more wary of criticizing a woman for fear of being accused of sexism.

Respected? Not by many. Here's his new problem. Finney's act did little to budge the AM morning news numbers. My bet is Trixie survives labeling Finney as "difficult" in the work place.

Notice not one of them has been shown the door? Trixie will outlast all her enemies, because she's got something on someone to get where she is in the first place, and like Marissa Meyer or Elizabeth Holmes, you can't keep a good woman down.

Finney didn't go national because he didn't want to - Disney had no issues with that or they would have said otherwise. Trixie long ago destroyed KGO-TV morale, even with the continued success of Ashley & Daetz. As Lieberman pointed out a few blogs ago, now Friedman is tuning out Trixie. The Finney producer mess is likely the last straw.

It never happened primarily because he's a lightweight and doesn't do his consumer homework. His old boss Kevin Keeshan is kicking ass running the KNTV "call center." It's Finney on the bubble not the ND- although she is despised by most who toil under her broom. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320259626272970242noreply@blogger.com
