Len Tillem, 'Da Loyah', Talks About Sexual Harassment--Should He Be On 'Da Radio'? Of Course

Why do I still laugh at DA LOYAH, Len Tillem? Maybe it's because Tillem, who last broadcast for 'Talk 910' and KGO Radio, doesn't force it, doesn't seem contrived--in fact, Tillem, who really doesn't need the fame and fortune--torture and aggravation too, is at his best here on YouTube.


I stumbled on this, accidentally no less, and wondered aloud why da loyah isn't on a radio program today--he's genuinely funny, informative and enlightening --which probably irritates the hell out him because he can't stand compliments, seriously.

Tillem swears he's content being a wills and trust loyah and doesn't need radio and/or TV but given his track record and ratings run in the past--(he had the highest numbers in his time slot at KGO) there's a market for legal talk, let alone legal talk from a guy from New Yawk with a sense of humor and tons of moxie.


Tillem tells it like it is; a sort of sweet, wise-guy verbal assault in-your-face--he's not for everyone, but his sense of humor is wicked and he knows what the hell he's talking about, all the while giving you the lowdown on everything from personal to professional, after all, HE'S DA LOYAH!

KTVU: Thanks For Trusting Us to Cover Up

Dear KTVU:

You have now become a punchline. Instead of acting transparent you are now in the business of trying to cover up. That is not the way to run a business based on credibility with your viewers, your affiliates, your reporters and anchors, your entire staff inside the building.

Thanks for trusting us? Excuse me.

I'm not the only one who feels this way.

In case you haven't heard, you, KTVU, has managed to make this nightmarish gaffe even worse. Apologies can only go so far and in light of your behavior since the gaffe, more is needed. It all starts at the top. Who is to blame? Where's the managers? They aren't talking, not to me nor anyone else. That's hardly the act of contrition.

In light of the latest developments, someone needs to go. Yesterday.

This isn't some lame-brain piling on top of a train wreck SF blogger. Its traction is reaching epic proportions. Trust Us? Hell, why should we trust you when it's apparent all you've done is to run and hide.

That's not the KTVU I used to know.

KTVU Orders Gaffe Videos Pulled From YouTube; More Dumb Thinking at Jack London Square

We're not ganging up on KTVU but its post-gaffe behavior following one of the most embarrassing and humiliating acts in TV News history continues to boggle the mind. Instead of moving forward with acts of transparency and level-headedness, the station has, instead, reverted to sticking its head in the sand. In addition to this site, others are aghast too.

The latest case of concealment was reported by Matthew Keys of The Desk; is KTVU kidding? Do they really think this type of action is pro-active? In the Internet age, it's impossible to remove the evidence. That may or may not be such great news but it's the reality of the times.

KTVU has been the gold-standard in news presentation in the Bay Area. Its "10 O'clock News", once the envy of local shops and TV newsrooms across the country, is still top-notch, but in recent years has lost a lot of its luster. That's not an indictment on the fine people at the station, just indicative of the changing business. It's a shame, then, that such a treasured brand would taint its meat and potatoes with actions like trying to conceal something that ain't ever going away.
