CalItalian2 163 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 KTTV has some of the worst quality newscasts of any major market station in America. They need a total overhaul including most of their "talent" in ALL time periods.

Devin 15 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hopefully the new news director will bring back the way KTTV used to be... Good Day LA is horrible to watch and the news at noon sucks Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15195-kttv-news-director-out/#findComment-154017 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Day LA is horrible to watch and the news at noon sucks Their 12pm broadcast is nothing more than another extension of Good Day (if you know what I mean).

brianpr3 178 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 would i be wrong to say to do massacre style changes to good day la and most of the news product?

Daybreak 288 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Sorry to bump the tread but Dianne Doctor is overseeing the station right now until Fox finds a permanent replacement. Just like Dianne's fashion, she's already making anchor changes. She has Christine and Jeff on Sunday -Thursday. She took Lauren off the 5 p.m. newscast too. Look for more changes to come soon. (Hopefully not another WCBS Massacre) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15195-kttv-news-director-out/#findComment-159645 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatSowislander 52 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 A WCBS style massacre is exactly what KTTV needs. Especially at GDLA. How much longer Steve's contact lasts? Time to retire/take a buyout to start. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15195-kttv-news-director-out/#findComment-159655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsWatcher 6 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 GDLA is unwatchable now. I say bring back Jill and Dorothy. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15195-kttv-news-director-out/#findComment-159685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1566 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I still can't believe that's what their morning show is like. When you watch KTLA and then flip over to GDLA, why would anybody put up with a Hugh Hefner knockoff?

Daybreak 288 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 GDLA is horrible. I hate that they have Steven to stand up and the other two are sitting at the anchor desk. Its like they want him to leave so they make him uncomfortable to get the hint.

MorningNews 1448 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hasn't Edwards led GDLA for some 20 so years now? The show in its current format should be canned and reformatted to match other FOX morning shows across the country. GDLA worked well when it was Steve, Jillian, and Dorothy. FOX 11 should also invest in an actually news set as well because the current one just doesn't work.

C Block 1566 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I know nothing about her, but that's looks like a great poach. KTLA is really hot right now, and that's exactly the direction KTTV should move into.

FiveNews 372 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 It will be interesting to see what Kris does at KTTV. She definitely has a tough road ahead of her. The morning show is a disaster, the noon show is a mess, 5pm is unwatchable. The 10pm is somewhat decent, but IMO thats only because of Christine Devine's presence. I am glad FOX went with someone from inside the market. Good choice. Curious to see if any people from powerhouse KTLA will follow Kris to KTTV.

Guest Former Member 207 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 KTTV was more or less my go-to station for morning news, especially with the Steve-Dororthy-Jillian trio, although I never cared that much for Jillian in the first place. But ever since corporate decisions down the street at Pico and Avenue of the Stars and in NYC took over the local Fox newsrooms, the quality of the newscasts have suffered ever since. At one point, I thought that KTTV had the best news department in the market behind KABC, and before corporate restructure put both KNBC and KTLA back on track. But yeah, it's time for Fox 11 to shit-can these models masquerading as actual reporter/anchors, and as much as enjoyed Steve Edwards over the years, maybe it's time for him go too.

Jose Rios(ND) was a major loss for that shop. The entire operation fell into the dirt when he left a few years ago.
