Eat News 4745 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Former KGTV and KNSD reporter Margaret Radford just ppoped up as PR flack during a live shot on KSWB5/69 FOX. She was shilling for The Container Store, a closet and container company. She will be performing all morning on the FOX 5 Morning News... Don't forget to tip your waitress. BTW... That Shally chick on that show is always being caught playing with her phone or the laptop....well Shally it's frigging annoying...as annoying as reporters that check the smartphone during liveshots. Annoying! UPDATE: Margret has aged well, she is rocking the grandma look while showing San Diegoans how to wrap Christmas gifts. The Preggers FOX 5 reporter is all gigglly with Margret. The intro they just called by her first name ...if they made any reference to her past I missed it. As much as I wanted to puke during this fluff piece I must admit...Margret looked very,very happy, and not stressed out like before. She lost a few pounds too.

atlnews2 591 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 That's one of the reasons why I rather watch Sports than News. The Mainstream Media is too liberal and too biased. Facts have a well known liberal bias Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/129/#findComment-140488 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A3N 1002 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 XETV (San Diego 6) Morning Anchor Heather Myers has abruptly left the station. Her bio has been scrubbed from their website and her FB and Twitter pages have removed most connections to SD6. Very surprising news to say the least. I wonder where she is headed to. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/129/#findComment-140553 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A3N 1002 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Whoa! That is kinda strange. Yeah. No good-bye's, nothing. She was just there yesterday or the day before I think. The same thing happened to Janet Zappalla, there one day, gone the next. In Heather's case, one would have to assume that she is headed to another station in town. FOX5 perhaps?

How did KNSD and the others do? KGTV will double down on the format, meaning more deceptive writing, more present tense bullshit statements, more exaggerations, and more lost cat and stolen shopping cart stories. KNSD??? Like watching paint dry...boring...uninspired... XETV??? The "Part-timers/ freelancers MuttCast" KSWB The maternity ward KFMB??? Forced "active liveshots" are soooo 1998. Hey Bunner and Wiener ditch that shit for more traditional mashed out network stand-ups. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/129/#findComment-140604 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you mean we can expect more: "Happening Now", "New From Overnight", "Breaking News Tracker", "Stories THAT Matter"!!!??? LOL Have you noticed that KNSD is finally doing all their live shots in HD. I don't know what took them so long, since they've been doing some live shots in HD, here and there for the last year or so. I'm still wondering how XETV can continue to keep going with all the departures they've had, it's like they don't even try anymore. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/129/#findComment-140610 Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We FIRST told you last night at 11p" meaning the first time they first aired the story was at 11pm...not that they were the FIRST to tell anyone. "We JUST checked" ....yesterday.... Kill me now...it's gonna get worse i promise. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/129/#findComment-140611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
