If they do update the set I would hope they add more natural elements. A penguin slide or some water features would be nice. Maybe a fountain?

Scripps has one of those arcade "claw" machines full of weather robots in Phoenix. They will fedex a new one for you if you ask...and send 50cents.

The talks are continuing but the union is getting pretty small. Most people in KGTV don't "need" to be union. The shooter in the breaking news tracker is non union because there is no skill involved, and they are not part of the union. Some shooters and tech are union...but not that many. You should take a look at the current contract, it's gutted and almost worthless. KFMB Photographers and techs went on strike in 1976...dumped the union and they have nice shop to work in. As far as the new WXmodels.... It's clear Scripps didn't pass those 2 through a focus group first. Maybe a metal detector? As you can guess Kimberley has got to be thinking about her contract (who wouldn't). Scripps really wants talent on social media. How do you resolve the fact that the females take all kinds of abuse on facebook, twitter ect... How can that be right to insist they participate in that? Nobody needs that abuse at work. There is a copy of the current contract at www.10newsunfair.com

They all need to get a hotel room.

You would be shocked if you knew how many stations don't have an operational delay system or chose not to use them. Follow the money... Who is the one responsible for hitting the dump button? The Producer? The Director? The Audio/TD? The Intern? We sure as hell know the Anchors were paying attention. So "who" pushes the button...and monitors the conversations. You need an extra body. .".We can't afford more bodies." But you are right, they should have NOT taken viewer calls. They poisoned their product by an avoidable accident. They let the viewer control the message. The producer takes the hit on this one.

They are cutting those that make the most money from the recent M/A's. Former "skilled" positions union OG's etc. Some stations aquired were already cut to the bone, and needed a little loving. I bet KTNV-13 was a wreck. The folks at Scripps made it pretty clear about cuts and philosophies to the staff when they took over KGTV. In San Diego it's been pretty diplomatic and up-front for most. They want their own 'People" calling the shots. The MGH stations came in "heavy" for the Scripps formula/ideas. So "real" investigative units were cut and replaced with "investigators" that will help you locate your lost pet. One 10-News "investigator" still thinks the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is "part of the shopping mall police". They want the experienced, high salary people to retire. Or re-up at a lower rate.

WMAQ does not care if this happens. It's funny and silly when it does happen but NBC must consider it one of the cost of doing business. NBC gets a free Stern promo...and we all get a school yard giggle. If they really cared about preventing this stuff, they would have used the magical "delay systems" that radio stations first used 50 years ago. Heck, KGTV-10 in San Diego had a working homebuilt 2inch Quad delay system as far back as 1974. Any 6 year old can get past a call screener/intern.

Nice open and choice of muzak. I wish there were shots of cows or other livestock.

From: Rich Lieberman KGO AM-810 News Director Deb Monroe leaving the radio station to become ND at KION CBS 46 in Salinas/Monterey/Santa Cruz. After the destruction of KGO radio....some would say Monroe is actually moving up.

Scripps in San Diego is about medicine and old philanthropy. Nobody coos when people mention Scripps and KGTV. 10-news never even adds a disclaimer when doing Scripps stories because the separation is so great. Scripps medicine= yummmmmm Scripps KGTV-10=Ugggggggggg

They may have made that statement, but I doubt anyone believes that they have no interest. Every broadcast group has interest because anytime a giant pile of cash is on the table from the feds there is "interest." Let's see how the award cap and rules gets adjusted, and then lets see if Scripps is still sitting on the side. Now if the entire thing flops......anything is possible.

Stations don't take people back to avoid lawsuits. You avoid lawsuits by vetting dismissals through legal first. A WABC reporter is not a civil service postition.

Lets see what happens now that the Incentive Auction list is out. Scripps (and others) will be looking at that quick and dirty "cash out".` If Scripps is serious about putting digital first...than why wouldn't they cash out a few low rated stations and convert them to virtual 'stations" as part of the Grand Digi-Plan? Let them be the pioneers, and let the gubmnt give them the operating cash for the big experiment. The entire dynamic is about to "be" changed forever based on this upcoming auction.

In reading from the website, it looks like they use a top secret method to "rate" the stations. When a station wins...they have to pay to say they "won". There is no second place. I think I will become WeatherRight.com and exploit all the 2nd and 3rd place stations. if you are a MYTV or CW station I will sell you a purple "best of show" ribbon.

Seriously??? After reading how this WeathRate works, all I have to say is "news consumer beware"! I wonder if I can rate the local newscast with MY seal of approval with the same ruse.

She is a good utility player, so she will continue to do well no matter what she does on-air. In her short time at 10-News she showed that she is more than just a wxmodel. Pat Brown makes too much money, and KGTV has abandon legacy viewers. The soul of KGTV is almost gone.

Rich Lieberman is reporting that Christina Loren is gone from KNTV-San Jose. Bio scrubbed from station site. More from 415 media. http://richliebermanreport.blogspot.com/2015/05/breaking-christina-loren-out-at-nbc-bay.html#comment-form

KFMB is running promos that Evans is the new AM WX Model.. The anchors on the noon show Monday also stated that Evan was the "new" wx person Based on those promos I would say Evans has that spot for good, since I rarely see that kind of promo effort for a fill-in/freelancer. True she is expecting twins, and she also was just married last October. better yet her new hubby brought 2 more kids into the relationship. There is a very delicately worded post from Jeff Zevley about the situation, but there is no mention of what her furture at KFMB is. http://www.cbs8.com/story/28028512/the-forecast-is-about-to-change-for-cbs-news-8s-natasha-stenbock

Since Hunter had a knack for filing lawsuits I'm just wondering if that finally resolved one or both. Did he finally get a game show host gig?

Amy Carabba from KMAX (Sacto) Morning show spotted on-air at KSWB (Wx Model) over the weekend. She also did a stint at Fox-5 KVVU a few years back. That should get them talking on Engineer Rd.

Was Evans a freelancer all these years? Or is she now a freelamcer?

News from KFMB-CBS San Diego... Natasha Stenbock gone from the KFMB morning show and replaced with Kimmi Evans who was at XETV-6 CW. Portions of Stenbocks bio remain on the KFMB Website. Noticed the change on Monday Morning May-4th 2015
