I haven't watched a single KRON produced show since Jerry Graham left Bay Area Backroads. Sadly, Bay Area Backroads is no longer on at all.

"...our employees will be paid as usual..." Oh come on, are they really still paying those poor saps? I just assumed Gary Radnich was working for free because he couldn't stand not to be on the air

I wish they did stop broadcasting. I don't honestly give a damn about that station. Anyone remember this? A little earthquake a couple of years back that didn't do any major damage, and who else would cover it for THREE STRAIGHT HOURS?

well at least you almost read the part where they're not stopping broadcasting. Almost.

So long as Radnich keeps on keeping on, I'm going to keep on watching.

You know the economy is fuc*ed up when your local weather man is filing for unemployment.

No more Evelyn Taft? What's the point of waking up anymore... Maybe she can move over to KOFY and host Dance Party!

Ah TurdFerguson, your name led me to look up one of the funniest SNL skits ever and I just got a much needed laugh. So good.

This city also has one of the highest concentration of freeloading hippies who drive Volvos they inherited from their parents, perform the necessary mathematics.

The City has one of the highest concentrations of "rabbit ear" TV viewers in the country. In my office of ten people, two employees use rabbit ears.

Bunny ears? Jesus man, do you have an inside toilet yet?

They should have not been greedy and dropped NBC. Once that happened, that was their slow painful death. Even then, KNTV is going through that slow painful death as well. Remember when you could not watch ER for over a year because the bunny ears could not even pick-up the reception?

See, we are a small, provincial backwater after all. We can't even float our own TV station.

That means... no more annoying Jan Whal, and that boring money financial dude. Whoo hooo! But where will pro wrestling move to?
