CalItalian2 163 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Just announced on the Fox 11 News at 10 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalItalian2 163 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Tonight is his last night. Fox News at 11 on KCOP will be his last sportscast for either station. They played a quick compilation of his 22 years on KTTV and KCOP at the end of the Fox 11 News at 10 which gets repeated at 1 AM if anyone is reading this before then.

bogusabc7breakingnews 49 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 damn...you beat me to it...but did you catch Mark Thompson's comment? He has a feeling we'll be seeing Rick Garcia soon...??? Could it be he'll pop up at ABC 7 News? say John Hartung is the new weekend morning anchor, they'll need a sports guy...but how can you from being the sports director to reporter??? we'll see where he turns up...think Liz Habib will get the 10pm sports anchor spot?

CalItalian2 163 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have a difficult time thinking he'll be leaving Fox 11 after 22 years and would be going to do sports on weekends. Certainly ABC 7 is the most stable news organization in L.A., though. He would make a good news anchor as well, as he was previously for UPN/My 13.

bogusabc7breakingnews 49 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 very good point...we'll see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalItalian2 163 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 At the end of Fox News at 11 Carlos Amezcua said to Rick Garcia "You're not going to be able to say "Go in the hole"...then Rick said it as his last words as the cast ended. I think he's going to be a news anchor. I know we've all speculated Micah Ohlman is going to KNBC but could it be Rick Garcia? The only other place in town that needs a good anchor for their 6:30 PM and 10 PM casts is KTLA. More speculation only on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbhcity 3 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 oh dear....KTTV has a very stable team...but maybe KTLA could use him...or he might want to do something else...maybe sports is being downgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amra 130 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 ... and he landed at KCBS/KCAL http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs015.snc1/2968_76524040858_57972945858_1616127_1667032_n.jpg Nice surprise Patrick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogusabc7breakingnews 49 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 jesus christ, that was a quick turnaround...wonder when he'll appear on air...congrats Rick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalItalian2 163 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Here's the L.A. Times story...based on what was said on KTTV and KCOP Monday night it was quite obvious he was going to be a news anchor. I guessed that right. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2009/04/rick-garcia-switches-stations-jobs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogusabc7breakingnews 49 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 yeah...carlos' comments at the end of the 10pm show made it obvious that RG was going to anchor somplace...and Mark Thompson's comments made it obvious that RG would remain the la market...so anchoring 8 and 10...whats the 10pm ratings like? I'm sure kttv is #1, but what about the race between ktla and kcal...I think ktla has been improving lately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalItalian2 163 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 At the bottom of this story about Rick Garcia, it also says KTTV is starting a new show on Monday. A recap of Good Day L.A. called "Good Day L.A. Today". It's going to air after the noon news at 12:30 PM for 1/2 hour. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i360cdd62fc9ca5a898cdd34c8823dd1d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogusabc7breakingnews 49 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 a recap? wtf? "a recap of the best from the station's morning program" that program is full of bull shit chit chat of all their personal lives and opinions...who gives a fuck? I don't want to see a 30-minute recap of that bs...maybe a recap of jean martirez's smart @$$ comments during the first 2 hours, but of good day la? ha, lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalItalian2 163 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Ya, I don't get that recap show. That's cheap. Just expand the noon news to a full hour. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118002795.html?categoryId=14&cs=1 One more article about Rick Garcia.

CalItalian2 163 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I just saw the promo for the 10 PM news (after 10 as the Lakers are still on) with Pat Harvey, Jackie Johnson welcoming Rick Garcia along with what's coming up on the news after the game. Looked thrown together, rather ackward and the three were very stiff looking together (standing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogusabc7breakingnews 49 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 yeah, saw that too, but I'm sure the three of them will have an awesome chemistry very soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalItalian2 163 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I don't like the way Pat and Rick are standing for the entire newscast. What are they trying to do recreate UPN 13 News? For the record, Carlos is doing double duty on Fox 11 News, news and sports. How long will that last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
