However, starting in February 2015, I shut it off and have watched perhaps once during the rest of 2015. The weather segments became almost parodies, with "Live Doppler 2000" or whatever they tout every five seconds. Then there is the weird bell carillon that heralds the bumpers before the first commercial break. The 10 p.m. broadcast was already dumbed down in 2014 or earlier, almost resembling the "Frank & Julie Show" instead of a newscast. "Happy talk" was almost non-existent in the Dennis Richmond era, but now happens with almost every segment. I really don't need to hear an anchor declare, "Nice story." So KTVU has now become more-or-less fully Foxified. KTVU News sadly has its glory days far, far behind it. Let's pray that it doesn't fall into the gutter as bad as KRON has, where most of its fine news legacy literally was sent to a dumpster. I long for an intelligent TV newscast in the Bay Area. If KQED-TV would produce a quality newscast that is aggressive in pursuing the truth, I'm sure that many would join me in watching it (just as KQED-FM now is high in the ratings and KGO-AM is in the dumpster).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-3972500956598909122015-12-12T23:56:08.848-08:002015-12-12T23:56:08.848-08:00Sum Ting Wong ... with happy talk.

The reason? Very little time to get into any depth or detail on anything, so it's all pretty much headlines and small, sordid little stories about shootings, fires and car accidents. And the 'faces' you talk about on TV? Ross Polumbo is the only name I'm vaguely familiar with, and I'm not even sure what he looks like. These anchor folks come and go with alarming regularity because stations are just like the rest of the business world in America today: no loyalty or consistency with their employees. Just find new, younger, hungrier people who will work longer hours for less money. That's the corporate way, and TV is no different than any other business. The bottom line, stockbrokers have influence and will try to make a profit. That's their most important goal. Loyalty and sincerity? No sir!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-65516759013894362892015-12-12T13:50:34.546-08:002015-12-12T13:50:34.546-08:00"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pr..."When the going gets weird, the weird turn professional" - Hunter S.
